I like the color, kind of like a peach sort of shade. Have you wet sanded and buffed the paint yet, or does that come after final assembly?

Actually that color is the primer. I got a friend to mix it for me, its crazy how much it glosses up. The final color will probly be corvette orange flame or ultra orange, cant decide.

Thanks. Na still havent got a hood yet. I found out there are strips of foam that go between the braces and the skin on the under side. Well that hood didnt have them in there. I ordered them and got them in yesterday. I stuck them in and now the hood looks a whole lot better, but where the braces are on the top side it sticks out, so im going to let it settle for a few days and see what happens.

Wow, that is really glossy primer! I figured you just had a cut and buff left and then it would shine right up haha.

Got to do a little work on the truck 2night. I put on the doors and the fenders and checked all my gaps. Need to do a little work on that to make it right. And I went and checked on my bed, looks like it will be done this weekend. :metal:

Well the front was 6in, but I had to redo it because that pushed the motor way to high. Its now 4in up front. The back is 12in and I made plates to put the bags in the stock spring location on the arms.
