Maybe I missed it: What dark stripe? You're going to paint the spear a different color? Same tone but darker or different color?

To be honest I'm liking the hell out of it as it is, but of course I'm not paying the freight.:lol: Your taste is very nice so I'm sure it'll look great.

Haha, it was pretty hot so didn't do much besides buff the rest of the bed
I did just start doing body work on the inside of the doors. Man people were
rough on these trucks I think the nicest panel on this truck is the hood lol
