are you trying to say I change my mind a lot?

yea, this is it... im spending way too much money on this paint job not to keep it for awhile... I think its gonna be sick.

Also - getting new wheels.... and before I get 20 pm's asking why, here is the reason.

One of the wheels has a structural oddity that makes it clicking noise at low speeds... So i have to get it replaced, but when I talked to my wheel company, they said they have an updated version of my wheel that allows for a deeper dish, and better hoops... on top of which, my wilwood's are much bigger, but thinner than my old baers, which allow even more of a lip.
So they are coming out to measure my offset with the final brake set up and are going to create the largest lip - 6" for the rear and 3" for the front.

and there is already someone who has dibs on my old set, once the one wheel is fixed that is

this is WITHOUT any clear on the truck, just flat paint... the pinstripe on the back of the tailgate - it is being cleared today.
As you know, the clear is what makes the paint POP... so remember this is just a very ROUGH picture... but it shows his pinstriping ability...

Tail gate - teaser pic - again, truck hasnt been cleared!
