carboncrew · 08-01-2014, 02:01 PM

wow...that is looking so nice!

now matter how long I've been in Arizona I can't get used to those little buggers! Yuck!

**yote1234** · 09-08-2014, 06:22 PM

getting closer! oh, found this little guy at my shop! I hate these buggers. 18" diamond back "baby"

j carter · 09-08-2014, 06:37 PM

Looking good

jeh · 09-08-2014, 06:44 PM

Looking GOOD Dave, I think I'd find another shop to work in with all those critters you're finding

slowcpe · 09-08-2014, 06:58 PM

Looks great...other than the critters. I just find the typical, spiders, hard-shell bugs and the occasional mouse. All I'll take over those. One advantage to living in Indiana I guess.

Zoomin · 09-08-2014, 08:55 PM

Beautiful job, Dave!

Oh, and the truck looks great too.

STOCKISH · 09-08-2014, 10:40 PM

Looking better than anything the factory ever put out. Amazing work man.

that little guy actually was found at my work yard not my home shop. but never the less they suck. the little babies don't make a rattle sound.

How did you install the paint divider trim since it didn't have the studs already on there?

I bought 3 stud kits before I settled in on the best one. don't go the cheap route on this one! they are very easy to install. just mark there location according the the assembly manual, drill a pilot hole, srew new studs in ans place the retainers on the studs. then pop on the moldings. not to bad at all. dave

Which paint divider did you choose to use? Supplier?
