Default project Gasoline part 2

Hello all, some of you may have seen this truck at Indy last year.I wasn't happy with a few things about this truck,so I tore it apart for a redo.

First thing was to stretch her some and let her breathe. So IHB shipped me some new rails and now she sits on 28" rails.I scrapped the front bumper with all the lights and went with a blank bumper.(custom signals coming soon).Then I scrapped the 1/4 fenders and heavily modified some from Ric @pmd.Sandblasted and painted the steps from IHB.Next onto the body.It is a custom w900l aero flatop .I ditched the old paint and went with Blue true fire and some ghost graphics to boot and the fenders received the same treatment.

I have a lot more pictures but photo bucket is not acting right so I will add more pictures later.I have all new chrome for the truck and I am making custom bumper for it now.I have a visor from stepside for it also. Dump trailer gets a redo also.Stay tuned.

Ed
