im waiting on the cab...the rain we had kinda stopped him from spraying bed liner and shooting under the hood...that does remind me 5 am comes fast...i gotta get some sleep haha

[77chris03]

So...David your gonna hate me. I'm going a slightly different route on the trim pieces. And actually not priced that bad. 45 for each pair.
45 for hinges and spriings 45 for headlights bezels and 45 for the grille surround. If it looks good it will be sparkle silver powdercoat. I can take back the bezels I bought from outback and itll pay for almost half of what it'll cost to powder coat originals. And plus the originals line up perfect so no guess work. If the look good I will probably do the emblems the same. Opinions?

would have to see the color against the paint...

[Slick67]

Think it through before ya do it. It may save some $$$ but in the end is it what will make YOU happy?? I like originals too, but I couldn't justify some of them on my project. You will make the right decision!! Just ask Brittany what she would do..........and go from there.

It almost looks like extreme Chrome powdercoat but sparkle with no top coat.

I put the aftermarket ones on the grille and for one they don't line up well, and for some reason they feel cheap. I have almost a 3/8 gap on one side of the light and like 1/8 on the other side. One of them has a waterspot on it and it looks like it won't hold up with water.
He's gonna do one headlight bezel today and I will post a pic tonite.

That seat looks better than what you described to me! The blue piping really brings it out and the vinyl does look really "thick". I think he did a killer job for you and the price was killer too!!! I'll be gettin his number from ya.

That's cool. The powder looks great. I like the sparklies in it!!

[VA72C10]

Seat came out great and the powder does look good!

[slick copper]

Love that seat! I think it'll really compliment the truck color. Powder coat on bezel looks good too, different. Keep it up!

[77chris03]

Stopped by upholstery shop...not done with visors or panels. Damn. Powdercoat suppose to be done tomorrow and suppose to pick up finished hood and cowl tomorrow after work. Pics when I get them.

the grille headlight and headlight bezel pics look great chris!

[71Sleeper]

Can't wait to see the cab in sunlight. Going to be killer. You got a great deal on the seat. I was quoted $500 just for my seat to get done. Looks like I will be shopping around a little more. Keep us posted with PICS!!

[77chris03]

took some por15 to the back side just for giggles...

fresh outta the oven!!!

one of the grille surrounds is no good...he blasted them and it blew through, but the messed up part is one he didnt say or call me on the situation and he still powdercoated them!!! DUMB@$$!!!! lol i hope i can find another one...
