Wow! Nice save for some lucky owner.

You have all the fun --> One of a kind. All Original 5k mile 79 Big Block Silverado!!!! (https://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/124215-one-kind-all-original-5k-mile-79-big-block-silverado.html)


I've detailed a couple of these cars with the factory paint and found the paint to be a more on the hard side than the soft or medium side, what say you?

Looks awesome, an absolute icon of a car right there. And dang does it sound weird saying 8,000 grit wet sanding lol. What is LATA?

BTW I remember those Goodyear Eagle F1 tires were on everything back in the day. They always look super wide from the back (275s look like a 305 or 315).

I'm the proud owner of an all original unmolested 2002 (last year) Black WS6 Ram Air 6-speed TA. Great car, fun driver.

Justin, would you tell me what you did to the clear coated aluminum wheels to get then that shiny. Beautiful job!!

Love the Goodyear F1s. Thought they were the coolest tire back then. LATA is LAs Totally Awesome. It's a degreaser.

Just cleaned them with Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel.
