Oh man that looks great! Using the Monogram kit for the detail parts is a great idea.

Troy, This for sure helps me make my final decision on what truck to build next! I was even thing of a blue similar to what you used, now I may have to switch. Fabulous job, Sir!! The grill is from JTS correct?

Wow. You really laid a beautiful coat of paint on there! I can't wait to see all the little bits and pieces installed, and this truck completed. Very nice work Troy!

Wow man you knocked it outta the park, I think the idea of using the monogram kits is a great idea if u can get em. I have two complete trucks the red kw and the yellow Pete kit, missing a few pieces that had broken off. I will be using wedico parts to replace the missing pieces.

I Still need to install lens's in the rear,make a back window,and install
the mfu.Here are a few more pics for the heck of it!










I still need to learn how to do paint and body work.

How about a drop visor? Not a huge one but something better than that plastic thing on that beautiful truck. Just my opinion.

Troy, I like it very much. If you put this up for sale, I and everyone else would be waiting in line to buy it. Very nice. What a beauty! I have to second Craig's thought. She really does need a little bigger drop visor.

Great job polishing out those mill marks on the grill. I didn't think it was possible, but you accomplished it nicely. That's one thing that sort of turns me off to those machined grills. Touch of red paint on the grill emblem yet to come?

How much do you want for that rig?

Thanks guys......I agree on the visor,I just need to find someone that can make
me one.
I still have some little details to do,and red or blue in the emblem is one of them.
As far as selling it.......every thing is for sale,but I spent allot of time
out in my 107 degree garage,and aprox. five 1.75 bottles of crown royal to get it finished.
