Ok fellas, Im done.

Ok, not entirely done. I still have to put the Scottsdale emblem back on and a couple little things but here are some good photos of it.

Here is two weeks ago with nothing on it or in it.

Here is today.

I've been busy.....
I drove it 180 miles today with the cold A/C on and nothing to listen to but the exhaust. SWEET!
Tell me what you think.

Re: Ok fellas, Im done.

Thanks! It has no lift on it anymore. It had a body lift on it that I pulled off last week.
Now, in the finished pics it has no lift.
The tire size is 32/11.50/15.

I call the color Metallic Guacamole







The color is from a 1970s Dodge Demon.

I think its the light green metallic. or Willow Green.

Looks better on the truck!

Here are some pics of the Demon and the truck taken with the same crappy camera so you get an idea. Looks better with a good camera and brilliant in person.

Re: Ok fellas, Im done.

I like it a lot man! I love the black and green interior too! I love that color and not too many people use it, so it'll be unique in the GOOD way!
