Well Done! I was considering getting rid of mine, but this has me thinking otherwise.

Looks good for those who have to keep 'em. As for the taillights, that's cool, too. I've seen those on a website somewhere but forgot which one it was.

They're billet aluminum (if the same source I saw) and they fit within the "hole" and also take a special lens. Seems they were about $275 a pair.

thanks guys, as for my tail lights I cut the billet rings myself on a cnc mill, the lens is red plexiglass and a clear defusser lense.

I saw your truck at Showfest a couple of months ago. Looks great, with some suttle mods that you wouldnt notice unless you are into these trucks. It really made me wish I could have brought mine down. Are you coming to ///RA this weekend in Millington?

You know you could market those taillight "rings", right?

Do it! Those are some nice pieces! I just bought some that look very similar from marquez designs. $250!!

I think they would be a great seller! Nice truck!

Im using BobCad software on a Bridgeport machine. I have the post for my machine but doesnt use correct G codes or indicate clockwise or counter clockwise. Ive tried a few other posts and still doesnt do it correctly. I havnt messed with it in a while.
