Just a quick rendering

Also she decided on Illusion Malbec for powder, so it'll get dropped off soon. Going to worry about lift spindles and t bar relocaters later.

The powder color

Lawd pri ride gonna be bamf. I wish youd skip the tbar relocators all together, but you already knew I thought that lol. You gonna have the spindles powdered when you get there?

 

[73impala]

Yeah, once I get the rest of the extra lift in I'll send them out to powder.

 

[73impala]

Small update, finally got the hood back from paint and the lift out to powder. All that's left is for the front is color match and billet

Started on the rear hatch led lighting. Think I will just end up doing the 4 total. I have 2 pointing down and 2 pointing back. Only had 2 hooked up to a battery to see the light out put.

Two pointing back

Well got a call from the powder coat saying it was done. Went and looked at it and it looked textured so I had them redo it.

Also the truck seemed liked it was overheating and reading at 235. So I changed the thermostat and waiting for the rtv to dry and hope that fixes it.

 

[73impala]

Got a picture of the powder. Hopefully will be done soon.

Finally got the wheels in from GA. Gave them all a washed and a polish with white diamond and a power ball. Then decided I was going to sand all the lips smooth from all the curb rash. Here are some pics

Well had the Tahoe today so test fitted the 16x12s on it. They do clear the caliper on the front so that was nice. Also went to the powder coater and he had some of the lift done and man this color is cool! Now for some pics.

Wow, those rims stick out! Nice color. What color is that?

 

[73impala]

Yeah can't wait to see it with tires and lifted. It's called illusion malbec

 

[00'BlueSteel]

Mind blown! I cant wait to see it together. That powder color is nuts, I thought it was just candy red from the springs post. But now I see all the purple and pink tones in it but then at some angles it looks Cheerwine, man that’s dope. Super jelly over here, making me want to strip mine and get it powder coated lol.
