Back from the painter

One picture is of the glove box, one of the hood the other is the truck at the painters getting ready to head home can hardly wait to drive it.
Well now all that is left is to read the easy to follow instructions and assemble the rest of the truck. Thats see tap a goes into slot b.

Finally, something different. That's an awesome paint job dude!! Have you gave any thought to changing the rims? A set of Torque Thrusts would would sweet on that.

I like the idea of doing something custom on the glovebox door. I may have to steal that one. I also like the not everyday colors you chose.

Talking

Thank you very much for all of your positive feedback, I really appreciate hearing from you. I do have to give a lot of the credit for the paint scheme to my wife, as she suggested the colors. The painter created the desgin; it was all done freehand with an airbrush. I will let the painter (artist) know about the positive feedback, he has done some great work; his business name is Marks Auto Body out of Waverley, MN. I have 3" rear & 2" front drop springs on there way and will be putting in the rear sway bar. I am staying with the rallies for now she says new carpet before new wheels, and will be keeping the stock chrome bumpers. As I get the assembly done I will post more pictures.
Once again thanks to all the good people on this site for the great info that has helped me get this far.
JC
