I was going to say that, but I didn't want to offend if you were going for some other look. Good job.

**mongocanfly** · 06-14-2020, 07:04 PM

I've seen more and more people doing that to pics of their trucks...looks good and would make a great Tshirt...

Update:

Well the day has finally arrived!
Orangepeel is finally able to move under its own power.

I had to make some suspension adjustments and raise it an inch
She drags pretty bad!!
Now work out any bugs and get it inspected.

Mark
