Re: What yall think??

too much for me too. I would rather see them chrome, and the wheels black, IF and only IF you HAVE to have something black. For me it'd be silver wheels and chrome trim rings and centers.

silver wheels work on any color truck.

Re: What yall think??

Thanks wheels,

Anyway, I had three senter caps, I bought one of Ebay as you can see in the pic, 1's chrome the other 3 are faded. Thats why I went with the all black. Come spring, I would like to paint the truck white and have black racing stripes. IDK I think it will look good.

Looks good. Need to take the rest of your black rattle can to your fender wells. Those clean rims look out of place.

Re: What yall think??

Looks good. The way I figure it if you like the looks that is what counts. Any progress is good progress especially this time of the year.

I tend to collect parts in the colder months and work on my projects in the warmer months. I have found without a garage it is the best way. The shade trees don't give a lot of protection from the cold weather, lol.
