Good to hear the progress Dave. Sounds like the build has taken on a life of it's own. Good luck with the sponsor.

You have alot more patience than I do. I don't know that I could go without my truck for that long.

Ok... got the truck back from paint, and wow, this picture doesnt do it any justice - the silver paint is a heavy metallic with a blue pearl (several coats) and the bottom blue has been repainted a little darker. You cant see it very well, but the is a silver leaf in the middle graphic... anyways, more pics to come.

Also - these are the new wheels - much bigger spokes and beefier, the polish is a lot better and the wheels are solid. the blue tape is because i am in the process of detailing it out.


more pics soon

Very, very nice. I didn't think I was going to like it (I'm a solid color kind of guy, and especially like Midnight Blue with metal flake), but it looks great.
