Gotta love the hammer tone... I am detailing the truck I am currently doing with Hammer tone - black and silver - think I'm going to do the frame in the Black however. Harold

That looks awesome! That black shock stands out like a sore thumb though. You need to find a color for it too....

That looks great...but I don't think your control arm bushings are centered properly. Take them out and try again.
PSYCHE! It's nice to see your going to use the OEM tie rods. ![]() Now that I see your frame I remember your truck from when you posted pics after it was powder coated. How you got it all back together and still looking good is beyond me. I scratched the hell out of my frame and control arms during my bushing overhaul. Pretty satisfying though, when finished that is.

Control arms aren't centered...LOL....I measured and measured....believe me they are centered...but that was a good one. My frame isn't powdercoated. It is Rustoleum Rattle Hammered Silver. OEM tie rods will be used after blasting and paint. As for the black shocks...They are staying as there is going to be a few things that are black. Thanks guys!!!

I like the mix/match of colors. I went all satin black on this truck, but my next one's going to be a bit more imaginative.

Thanks Guys! I did not get to choose the color of the drop coils...they came powdercoated blue from Summit. I really like the way it looks and am ready to dive into the other side.
