I love the blue one... nice!

Re: My project
 

personally, i like the shaved trim and tailgate, but leave the doorhandles.

Re: My project
 

I like the blue one.....but if you decide to shave the trim, gotta leave some bright work (no painted grill or bumpers either).....needs something to break things up.....

Re: My project
 

yeah that blue one is a bad mutha you know what... I'm keeping my trim fo sho

Re: My project
 

My .02, keep all the mouldings, door handles, and up grade the grill. I am into the stock but rodded look and that is what I am going for with my truck. But to each his own.......................

Re: My project
 

That blue one is the inspiration for what I hope my truck looks like someday.:metal:

Re: My project
 

if your trim is in good shape, keep it, if not, shave it!

Re: My project
 

Any idea what paint brand/color is on the blue rig?

Re: My project
 

Damn I really like the blue one. Everything just looks so perfect and it all lines right up.

Re: My project
 

I cant decide...they are both far too sexy...*starts tearing up* so pretty...*sniff*

Re: My project
 

I guess it's what you prefer. We have some awesome custom trucks on here with everything shaved and they look great. The restored look with a drop and big wheels is a growing trend.

The concept portrayed by the blue truck is what I prefer.

Re: My project
 

The blue one is the look I'm going for.

Re: My project
 

It has been awhile since I have worked on the truck but I am getting back into it. Here is my Question, if I don't have any trim, I really like the look, is it worth it to buy new trim and start from scratch?

Re: My project
 

Again it all depends on the look you are after. If you want a restored look then some trim is mandatory. I have seen trucks use later model ( or earlier) trim to give it a twist.

Me too, except mine will be a 4x4 version of it! :metal:...Joe
