So after you hand the keys over do you get the shlong cycle or the chopper bike?

I'm taken the shloooong cycle so I can pick up hitch hikers

There's a local car show this weekend and they have a bike show for the kids to enter, and my daughter wants to enter the chopper.

4D,
I don't know if you still want flat black or not? If so, I suggest the following link. I prefer the look of satin black, instead of flat black but that is up to you, of course. This paint is pretty good for the price.

It also comes pre-proportioned - 3/4 gallon paint to 1/4 gallon activator. I have a Monte Carlo in my garage that I am thinking of using this on.

Thanks for the link Ryan,
My daughter really hasn't decided on what color she wants yet, so untill then we are just haven some fun with it. And we are both kinda learning at the same time.

ryans62c20 · 04-23-2009, 08:46 AM

what Ive been working on?

4dranch · 05-15-2009, 08:23 AM

My Daughter was looking at the truck yesterday and wanted to try a different look around the small back window. I told her if she didn't like it we can always change it back. Will finish it tonight and post more pictures later.

4dranch · 05-15-2009, 08:26 AM

Received my tailgate yesterday from Morton (283man) Thanks Morton.

Jason your thoughts or anyone else on what to do for latching.

joe231 · 05-15-2009, 08:34 AM

you could go the "protrash" route and use those sliding door locks from the hardware store. cheap, effective, and invisible from the rear

jason65 · 05-15-2009, 10:05 AM

Thats what I was thinking also. Mar-k has a kit to get rid of your chains to.

**Corts60** · 05-15-2009, 10:57 AM

These are similar to what I used....just mount 'em and ditch the small piece. Then drill a hole into the big side post in the bedside and call it done. Simple and effective.

Truck is really looking cool, 4D.
