did you end up staying with the hood cut out the way you did it the first time? i might have missed the thread where you showed it finished. got pics of it painted?

stllookn · 04-01-2005, 11:36 PM

Can't wait to see it with the clear coat in the daylight! That is some really big metal flake in there. What size tip is required to spray that? Are those your taillight holes in the tailgate? Where are the back-up lights or did you lose them? I can't wait to see the full on shot of the rear of your truck.

R@nger · 04-02-2005, 02:50 AM

Great job man...looks real good. I too really like the way you brought down the black in the orange flake right next to the taillights.

skokie · 04-02-2005, 02:56 AM
