The Blue Leopard
First of all I do not call this "PATINA" the sand down job was not my idea,
 but it is a clean rust free low mileage truck...... I owned once before (2-3 years ago) for a few days, sold it but I just got it back. More on the history later.  Introducing The Blue Leopard........

Re: The Blue Leopard
I really like the slot mags, makes me think again about painted steels...
Sorry to be a bore but what are the specs? Are they 8 x 15? What about the back spacing and tyre size. Would be interested to know the specs as buying from 6000 miles away causes a slight challenge if you get it wrong.... Many thanks, P.

Re: The Blue Leopard

Here's more pic's.......

Re: The Blue Leopard
Man that truck is awesome! Still, it makes me kind of sick that someone sanded down that paint job. It already had legit patina, why do that? Could have just buffed it up and done the other stuff to it. I would've loved to have started with a paintjob like that. Anyway, I still love it! I do like the old toppers, but I have to say it looks way better without it and with the slots
Also, I really want that rear bumper that was removed

Re: The Blue Leopard
I almost forgot (actually I did) I have pic's of the leopard wearing white......
...... what a difference wheels, chrome and a stance can make.
