Where did you get your hood, and is it a 2" lift?

You'll need to weld up the holes for the stock mirrors. I used nut inserts in the door skins to mount the mirrors. If you use nut inserts you'll need to grind off the boss for each hole on the bottom of the mirror bracket. There's also a "bulge" that fits in a hole on the Mazda door that wil have to be ground flat regardless of how you mount them. Buda is the first town south of Austin but the truck is in south Austin on off Ben White Blvd (Hwy. 71). Come on over, be glad to show it to you....

Buckman:
It's a custom mixed BASF pearl color that is very, very close to the "bronze" metallic color on the 2005 Corvette (I keep forgetting the name, but a Chevy dealer can tell you) and on the 2004/05 Honda Element.

I bought the 2" cowl hood from Outback Truck Parts at a swap meet so I didn't have to pay freight. It's a Goodmark brand hood and can be bought from any of the board members. Had to "massage" it a little but the overall quality is excellent. I would strongly suggest you buy genuine GM (not aftermarket) hood hinges which are still available from your local GM dealer and many board vendors.

Moc, what kind of drop are you running on this. I hope that you haven't covered this a million and one times, but I was curious what kind of stance that is, and also what wheel and tire combo you are running.
Thanks! And a sweet looking color and truck.
