About the Omni Paint. I used that on my truck. The Blue color you see now is Omni Paint. The clear is PPG DCU 2002. That is a good clear. I don't know if I want to truck the Omni clear as it will not hold up as well. The color works for me. A gallon of Blue was $101, and I am sure if I went with the PPG good stuff it would easiliy double that price. I am just building a crusier not a show truck. It stays in the garage and I probably won't drive it in the rain and if I do take it to a car show I will put an EZ UP over it. Who knows.
Keep it Joe. GIT ER DUNE... :sexy:

I used the m&h Wiring. It was easy to install and everything plugged in and worked right. I bought everything from the head lights to the yail lights.
