Thanks the paint is Omni brand by PPG.

The front grille really pulls it together, and makes a world of difference. I think what does it for me, is the bumper is still flush with the grille, for the most part. I like that better. The 'step' is still visible, in front of the fenders, but hey, I'll just watch and see how that fills out. Lights are probably going to pull that together nicely.

Thanks Nate I still have some more parts coming that should stir up a whole new debate about the truck.:D

Thanks Ben I am getting eager to see it done myself.

Like the fenders, some nice work there, but my taste is not the bumper. Will be a nice rig, though.

Re: Orange Pete

Weird, but this thing looks like a pulling truck! More so then 'Big Time'. Short and stalky, especially with those wheels.

Cool than that means I have done my job it is different. Once I get a few more parts in Big Time will look a lot different.

Re: Orange Pete

Here are a couple pics with the new pipes and tanks mounted. Now all I need is the bumper so I can mount the rear fenders and the deck plate then I will be ready to paint.

Re: Orange Pete

Travis,
That at first I had my reservations about this buid, but I must admit that is starting to be one bad a$$ looking machine. I love the rims they look like somthing out of a Mad Max movie. Awsome looking build. Just wondering is this going to be a flying truck if not will it be playing chicken at Indy this year with Benny's truck......LOL

You and I are on the same wave length I was going to get the tanker off the shelf to see how it would look and I have more of the paint.
