And that's what matters.

It is a custom blend, part Dodge Viper yellow and part Honda yellow

I am still not sure what I need to do there. I will likelt be posting a thread shortly on what I need, and should do. Regardless, guys do this all the time, so I am not re-inventing the wheel. ;)

That was an expensive 30 seconds, and part of the reason I tore the truck down...so I could restore it, and fix the stuff I damaged doing the burn out contest (nuked posi, bent bed floor, bent bedside). It was fun though, glad you liked the video

A magazine feature would be super neat, just not sure it will ever happen...my truck isn't exactly folowing todays trends

You didn't steal it, I put it out there and wrote the article so others could do the same if they chose. Have any pics of yours? Would love to see it.

Again, thanks everyone for the positive reception!

Would like to see more info about the newer style gas door please.
