Just a little introduction. I got a 1987 chevy V10. Been restoring for about 1 year now. I went down to the frame and started there. I installed a 8" lift from BDS with Fox shocks. 37 boggers, 456 gears. A brand new 383 stroker putting out about 500 hp. New Fenders,hood, doors, 20 gal fuel cell, new axles. I painted it myself(first time doing all of this.) Its a Hot rod flatz gunmetal grey with hot rod flatz black trim. I am about 95% done on the outside. Just starting the inside.
Looking real good. Just included a couple pics
