Nice work. I like your attention to detail. Like GMCtrk said, I don't like the mudflaps. They don't flow with the body of the truck.

I've gotta ask, what kind of camera are you using?

LMAO! That right there is why I don't post pictures of my truck...too many want to tell you what they don't like. WHO CARES?!? And I also keep my mudflaps because they do a great job and I couldn't care less if some people don't like 'em.

Thanks, folks! I appreciate the kind words...and the smiles.

Camera - Nikon D80. I used two lenses for these pics - an 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 and a 50mm f/1.8. I'm finally starting to learn my way around this thing - it's definitely been a process going from point & shoot to DSLR, and I'm learning more all the time. Almost all of the shots were taken in aperture-priority mode, although I took a bunch in program-mode as well. ISO was @ 100 for all the images.

Detail - lotsa hours. I did a full detail (clay, polish, seal) back in June. I spent roughly 13 hours on the paint over a two-day period...and actually would've liked to have done some more polishing and a bit of wet-sanding. I've actually been really busy this year with detail work and haven't had a lot of time to spend on my own rig. This last coat of Souveran and the pics only happened because of a last-minute cancellation. (A black BMW just loaded with swirl marks...I'm actually glad I didn't have to work that hard!)

Thanks again...
