That's great, I love seeing these old savages brought back to life. I just did a complete tear down and rebuild on my old SS. I like the flat black too.
Awesome truck!

Awesome bro can u identify mine iam not sure what model it is... Is there a way to find out
 
I'm a Savage fan too, glad to see one be saved and resurrected. I don't care for the flat black though. Never understood the appeal there.
Mine is planned for a rebuild over the winter. It's been sitting a few years now with a blown rear diff.

Looks to be a Savage 21 or 25 but judging by the cooling head design I'd say 25. Look on the side of the engine block, it should have a 21 or 25 on it.

Will iam going to get my hands on a full custom decal set as well bro
 
Mcnitro, what decals are you looking for? I still have some HPI decals from when I ran in the HPI challenge in Orlando years ago, and they gave us all decals.
Any bro preferably something that says savage as I just had these delivered today bro
