Are you going to do any pinstriping between the black and red? Something in yellow or blue would probably look really sweet!

poink 71 chev · 04-04-2005, 02:48 PM

I really like the two-tone placement. Looks great! What is going in the tailgate slots? tail or back up lights?

Putter · 04-04-2005, 02:49 PM

Man, that looks like carpet burns on a dog's @$$. (are you picking up the "I am sooo jealous" vibe there????)

Really, that is pretty slick. I like the corner detail where the black 'dips' down in the rear. That is pretty smooth.
Maybe you have already covered this, but what lights are you using in the cutouts? LEDs?

special70gmc · 04-04-2005, 02:56 PM

Dont just focus on the actual work. It looks like you already have some talent. Go to school and study something like busness that way you can open your own shop pay people to work on other stuff that way you can work on whatever you feel like.

HE IS TALKING ABOUT YOUR HINGES, ALOT OF GUYS DRILL A COUPLE
SMALL DRILL BIT SIZED HOLES THROUGH THE HINGES SO THAT IF U
EVER HAVE TO REMOVE THE DOORS IT WILL KEEP U FROM HAVING TO
RE-ALIGN, JUST INSERT A COUPLE BITS THROUGH THE HOLES & THEN
TIGHTEN THE HINGES BACK DOWN, WALA, INSTANT ALIGNMENT.
