Sorry for bad pics

1LoC10 · 08-29-2010, 02:40 PM

looks cool

Andy4639 · 08-29-2010, 02:49 PM

What proccess did you use? I have thought of doing this also but my truck is already painted. Looks good though. Good job!

VA72C10 · 08-29-2010, 03:09 PM

another nice subtle mod for the truck!

c10seconds · 08-29-2010, 03:26 PM

Looks pretty slick! What are the details on the tail lights?

**GruntMoanCough** · 08-29-2010, 03:27 PM

Nice! Well done.

Bert W · 08-29-2010, 04:24 PM

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

ChevLoRay · 08-29-2010, 04:24 PM

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.

avysittinon22s · 08-29-2010, 04:27 PM

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.

big_al_71 · 08-29-2010, 07:35 PM

love the stance, mods, the whole truck!!!!

Hellbent · 08-29-2010, 09:06 PM

Suh-weeet. Man, what a sleek ride.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-29-2010, 09:45 PM

looks good, i did my rears now i need to get some front lenses..lol

colin_havens · 08-30-2010, 10:44 AM

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?

ChevLoRay · 08-30-2010, 11:25 AM

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.
