    And So It Begins, Tear Down&rebuild

    Hey guys, as you all know the trans took a **** but, while its down i decided to leave it down for about the next two to three months and do some more to it. These are the plans right now let me know what you guys think or if I should take a different approach. Ive pretty much made up my mind but, its nice to know what you guys think. So first of course is a fully built trans, also im going to move up to a 3600 stall i think SC3600 is what im looking for or Vigilante? also the heads are getting pulled for port polish and 3 angle, putting on a TBSS intake. Its probably not needed but ill be replacing the axles better safe than sorry, also Im putting on a set of Cal tracs. Im putting drilled and slotted rotors on it, cuz mine are cracked from heat. With virgils nitrous going on im gonna need some good brakes also im pulling some extra wieght outta the truck again, air bag, seats etc... Im goin back with some racing seats with a 5 point, no airbags means safety first Im wanting to go with dual borla exhaust with the tips barely poking out from the sides of the truck, I know borla is expensive but, get behind MOZE on the highway and have him punch it, its like instawood, his truck sounds stupid badass when he jumps on it, also im gonna do an E cutout. OH I almost forgot, where can i find a lightwieght drive shaft cuz im pretty sure I bent mine. So I think thats all the truck "performance" as of the moment I might have forgotten something.
    Looks wise, I just got my rims powder coated black, which I gotta send back didnt get done good enough but, anyways me and Virgil discussed no racing strips and just do pinstriping with a skull theme. V had a really good idea about the skulls kinda like racing around the bottom of the truck, with like smoke coming from behind em. I pictured exactly what he was describing and it would look sweet. Hopefully I'll have the paint finished by the Houston truck showdown. Anyways guys let me know what ya think.
