:D:D:D..Little truck..with largecar attitude!!:D:D:cool:

Must be the red under the hood ready to unleash. Looking good buddy!

The paint came out great John!

Brian

Okay guy's and gal's..I have to trim out the light cream...Silver or black pinstripe..Whatcha you think??:confused::D:D

Thanks Brian...Old School baby!!:D:D

That's what I'm talkin about. I'm partial to it. Looking sweet John. The pin stripes should really set it off!

I would go with silver to pickup the silver of the tanks and steps. You wouldn't be waiting on some lights, would you:rolleyes::rolleyes: Should have yours completed this weekend:eek::eek:

I have a ??? for you- why does everyone make their front bumper so close to the ground? On a 1:1 if the bumper was 14" off of the ground that would make a model's 1" in scale yet everyone wants their bumper within a 1/4" of the ground. Makes for a very picky truck to drive around. You have to watch for every little obstacle in front of your truck.

Thanks everyone....Lynn..Its all about the look..they do make it difficult to go into someplaces...But its all about pride in your ride...Thats one thing AWESOME about the big rig world..they are not sitting waitting for warm weather for all to see..somewhere 24/7 there is a showbaby truck moving commerece showing off the true meaning of why they do this.."PRIDE"..
Thanks for everyone for making this hobby so great...I cant afford the 1:1..so this is where i do mine..:D:D:D:cool::cool:

Just goes to show how cool you can make a truck look with stock kh length. I really like this one. Great looking grille, any more info on it?
My truck's bumper is only going to be a hair's breadth off the ground. I guess some people don't like that. That's ok, if everyone made their trucks the same, this place would be boring. I think it looks mean :cool: never mind the impracticalities :D

Looking great as usual Jon, I say black pinstripe to tie the cab into the black frame. Maybe if you wanted to be really ballsy you could try the black pinstripe outlined by the silver??? Just a thought. I'll be watching LOL.

Well the owner said pinstripe with black...Now it just has to be cleared..sooo close.:p:p:p:D:D:D

:D:D:cool::cool:

Yep see BLACK I told you that would pop.

Nice job John.....paint looks killer!

John it looks great with the stripes and fenders on it now. I think it would look really good with a stainless strip along the back frame to give it a cleaner look but I suppose thats up to the owner.

Tyler

Thanks Tyler...I think its deffinately get a deackplate..:D:D:D

ok guy's...one step closer to the finish line:D:D:D:p:p...Man it really pops with the clear..:D:D:D:cool::cool:

:D:D:D:cool::cool::p:eek::eek:

Looks real good Jon.
That paint is so smooth & shiny,it still looks wet.
FGD

Thanks Freddy...it still is wet:D:D..that was 1/2 hour after spraying..:p now once dry...wetsand and buff..then add all the goodies.:D:D:cool::cool:

Sweet John. The clear coat really does the trick! Nice and shiny. But no back window? Is it going to be covered with a headache rack? I like'em low and long, so no complaints from me, about the bumper height.

Killer Job Jon that red is suck a great looking color and with the cream white it is just perfect.. Great work as always buddy..

Thanks Paul....yeah Nate..it's going to get a headache rack so he decided to leave out the back window..:D:D. It's not long or too low...but definate large car attitude..

Look awesome John.. You are getting to be a master at those stock striping schemes.

THIS THING IS TURNING OUT AWESOME.
