no i didn't repaint it white. It is getting painted as we speak. Those are the before pictures. The color is from an 06 autin martin charcoal grey with a metalic in it. The truck will look very similar to this one minus the wheels of course. Same hood, mirrors, shaved handels, maybe an 1" lower.

i know i saw it on power tour this year. Who ever got that sure did steal it for that price. Everyone has there price and this is what i want for my truck. I have way more into it that this and people might think im stupid for doing so but its my personal judgment and there might be other people out there that would buy this. Last year on ebay an 98 s10 with a 6.0 and a auto with stock body work sold for 16,000 so we will see.

actually the guy that has been doing the truck for the last couple months has stoped for a while. his house got damaged in the flood in clinton this year so he has been taking a leave from work for awhile. It should be done the month of october. The truck isn't painted yet and its in sanding primer, if your really interested i can talk to him and see what we can work out putting it back to white.

i would want it however it sits now, NOT PAINTED. i have two good buddies that do paint/body for a living and i would come out cheaper having them do it. im very intrested in the truck but i am looking at two others. I want one that was done right and not just thrown together. what kind of price are you looking for like it sits unpainted?

alright i see what your saying. i know he would want to at lease put it in primer tho. I'll try and get ahold of him and see what we can do. If i sell it unpainted ill let it go for around 13,000.

i have to pay him for what he has done already like the shaved handels, thrid brake light, tailgate, and removing the paint and all the sanding and time he has into it. The truck is ready for primer right now so its almost done.

Ill give you a bike already paint far faster and better MPG to boot for it in primer.
Wanna race? J/K
Nice truck though. I have done LS conversions on 6 cars now. All cost tons of money. 51 Merc, 63 Chevy II, 89 Firebird Formula 350, 96 S10, 94 S10, 80 Malibu, fixing to do my wifes 54 plymouth. The economy really sux right now and people don't want to let go of thier cash.
I know you didnt really care just sharing I know your pain.

Haha oh i totally know what your saying. What kind of mpg does the busa get? My dad has a 53 merc that was his dad's that has 36,000 original miles and we are getting ready to ls1 his 67 chevy II. If only i had this truck done like a year or two ago it wouldn't have been soo bad but like you said people are afraid to spend their cash. Thanks for the offer tho but i need $ more school cause we know how easy it is to get student loans now.
