Nickey4271647545519 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Got a chance to get out in the '68 c10 we have yesterday. Loved the weather though. So i thought i'd share some of the pictures i took and a quick video of the exhaust. I still suck with a camera but i tried my best. Hope you guys enjoy. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/Corvette454l88/IMG_5085.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/Corvette454l88/IMG_5082.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/Corvette454l88/IMG_5087.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/Corvette454l88/IMG_5078.jpg some video hope you guys enjoy.

Nickey4271647545519 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 looks good. hate the flames in the window. i have mixed emotions on those. I like them and i dont, onlything i dont like is the blue window tint on the side windows. But both have been there since we got the truck. Sounds good Thanks man.

Kevin R. Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Badass. Would look so much cleaner without the flames though. Even the blue window tint isn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the blue window tint isn't that bad. like i said earlier, i'm torn on the flames i like them and hate them. they add so more chrome to other wise pretty clean exterior so just a little life lol, but yeah they are sometimes hokey. http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/Corvette454l88/IMG_5088.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I can deal with the blue tint even with the fact taht is soooo 70's but the flames need to go they take away from the truck. Overall very clean and well done, take away the flames and it will look good in almost any decade as a clean, well put together custom.

Understandable -- it just appears to have a "shaved-esque" look going on for it with no emblems or any BS on the outside (which I love) so the flames appear out of place to me. However, still a badass truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Beautiful truck. Torn on the flames though. You should bring it out to one of the meets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should bring it out to one of the meets. thats up to dad, he seems to think going out and cruising on friday/saturday nights is all about street racing:(, but he did agree to one night bring it out to sawmill after jack maxton, so we'll see. Hopefully that'll change his mind lol. Got any video of it doing a gnarly burnout? Not yet, hopefully by the end of the month, has a linelock on it, so it lights the tires up even easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
