New Direction
Well after 8 years of my truck being painted I had a little accident back in January I scraped a boulder on the driver door, cab corner, and bed, I was pretty upset about it, but after being parked out in Texas sun being a daily driver and work truck the paint was really showing it's age, but now it will give me a chance to go away from the custom look and go with a more stock appearing truck Inside and out, so far I replaced the bed with much straighter bed, both doors the driver side was beyond repair had several crack in the entire door and was twisted from the accident, passenger had a bad dent at the body line probably some jealous person, and a stock hood, the interior I removed the door panels and seats for a stock bench and door panels, every think is a little rough at moment but I will start with body work soon
    How it looked before  Something like this when its done

Re: New Direction
Sorry about the boulder accident but it sounds like you have a good plan to build a good looking truck.
Keep us posted! |
