JohnC · 09-30-2010, 11:19 AM

That looks good man. I like the fact that you are going through the effort for the stock blinkers. That is a nice trick that a lot of people won't even think of.

*Stitch* · 09-30-2010, 12:32 PM

Looks good buddy.

menace121978 · 10-01-2010, 09:21 PM

thanks for the comments fellas! this weekend all i did was break stuff and waste time trying to fix what i broke... not a good time out there. got my fenders and i have to have him redo them. i'm really upset about that to say the least. i'm going to sandblast them then use the grinder on the surface rust the painter just likes to paint over. quality workmanship for sure. heres a couple pics of the stock wheel on after hours of cleaning nasty gooey stuff off...

last ones of our babies that keep me sane while Amy's at work. they are ready for dinner!

STOCKISH · 10-01-2010, 09:32 PM

I've had lots of nights where I felt like all I did was break crap! Luckily, the next night is usually better. Stick with it buddy! Great work so far.

*Stitch* · 10-01-2010, 09:32 PM

holy crap...the dog is on the kitchen table...LOL

EDIT...lol look it's a Ford Flex...lmao...

**nlped** · 10-01-2010, 09:41 PM

I believe the painter would be "totin' an a$$ woopin' ", if he was down here in the Dirty South!

And my fiancé has a minature pooch that has run of our place too. She thinks she is the queen of the Casa, and I'm not allowed to tell her otherwise.
