Talking Resto. Update: Truck painted; check out my new paint!

well guys, its been a long time since i took a double take when i looked at my truck... the primer gray in various shades has not been that appealing in the last year and half... but, alas, the truck is Indigo Blue Metallic! check out my website:

Sweet looking truck. It's nice to see all that work come to fruition, isn't it? I can't WAIT to get mine painted. The original paint is getting a bit worn, but I have MUCHO mecahnical work to do before I get to that stage. Plus driving it every day makes the process that much slower. Here in a month or few, I'll be retiring it for a couple of weeks to go through the engine and tranny. It's time to give my tired old 454 a power boost.

Very very nice!! I hope I get mine done and painted in the upcoming month. I like that dark blue. Kinda like a new Chrysler Patriot Blue.
