Re: My Driver Restore Thread
It always seems to happen that way. You start to do one thing and realize you need to do this to match that and it just keeps going and going. Keep up the good work and I will be watching.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
Interior is looking great. Dash bezel is very nice and I really like the interior color. I used to not like carpet in trucks but after I spent some time on this board I got swayed and now my K20 has carpet - your carpet really brings that interior together. Very nice!

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
WOW!! What a transformation! I LOVE that blue, and the black . The colors look great together. Do you have any exterior shots? How did you get those headlight shields to go on? I bought some at a swap meet in Pomona, California and each time I tried to get them to fit under the headlight ring, it just kept pushing it off.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
Figured I'd throw out an update. Got the new Rally's mounted and turned the BFG lettering inside. I'm gettin her ready for paint. Goin with the Hot Rod Flatz black paint from www.kustomshop.com but I'm tryin to decide if I'm goin to leave the top white or paint it black as well. Or maybe shoot the top the same blue as the interior? Whatdaya think? I think I'm gonna shave the marker lights too.

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
I know you will cringe when I mention this, but did you think of painting your wheels a contrasting color to give it that true OLD SKOOL look?
My truck is flat black with blue interior too, but I am going to paint it a custom way, with bright blue on the top (hood, roof, edges of doors and tailgate, and then silver below separated by a single red pinstripe. While you are working on the body, I would go ahead and eliminate those side marker lights too. Are you going to lower it any??

Re: My Driver Restore Thread
I say do the roof in the same blue as the dash and do the rims the same blue as the dash.
Post in the photoshop section and see if someone will help you out.
