2003 Chevy SSR - Savage Intentions

When we first caught up with Tony and his SSR at the Slamily Reunion show in Fort Smith, Arkansas, we were instantly impressed with its color scheme and complementing, staggered rolling attire. The truck looked even better once Tony hopped in and hit the switches of his complete Airbagit.com air-ride system. The 20x8-inch front and 22x9.5 rear KMC 820SS wheels wrapped in respective 245/35R20 and 285/35R22 Nitto 555 tires kept inching deeper into the fender wells for a resulting slick stance. Yusuf Boyd and his crew at Immortal Kustomz in Olive Branch, Mississippi, handled the installation of Airbagit's components, which completely transformed the already handsome SSR into a debonair and sophisticated street machine.

To further add to the SSR's devilish good looks, a four-piece Motorsports Performance Design, Inc. body styling kit, which included a front spoiler, left and right side skirts, and a rear wing, was prepped, painted, and slapped onto the Chevy's facade. Since the factory yellow paint was already somewhat attention grabbing, Tony decided to keep some of it while incorporating DuPont Silver Steel Metallic to the lower half of the truck for an interesting color contrast. To step things up a notch, Tony had painter Jaycee Poulsen of Kutin Edge Kustomz, in Byhalia, Mississippi, thrown down a colorful array of flames that were custom blended to shift between seven different colors. Once the truck was delivered to Tony, there were still some finishing touches that he wanted to add to the paint before it was considered a done deal. Jeff Johnson, a former Truckin' cover and Top 10 truck owner and proprietor of Jeff's Body Shop, in England, Arkansas, was recruited to work in some additional flames to the hood's center section and front fenders. Jeff also wrapped up the finish work and applied the final shine.
