Mocked up the bed net, and getting ready to put fenders on…having a hell of a time trying to find wheels..

I was just looking at the 4th pic in your previous post (the one that shows the reflections in your front fender). That paint job is drop dead gorgeous!

6DoF · 03-22-2022, 07:41 AM

your interior came out great, and the tailgate net is an amazing detail!

Did you forget to attach a picture of the wheel design or are you trying to keep us in suspense.

I offered to just paint the flakes black, but for some reason she said…..NO!

skip99 · 04-16-2022, 01:57 PM

Got the headlights halos wired so both side are dim when park lights are on, and one side blinks brighter when turning,, used 1n4004 diodes..

skip99 · 06-26-2022, 09:39 PM

Near the finish line….wheels and tires are here! Custom lexani’s with 245 fronts and 315 rears,
