Hey Thanks again Y2K what would i do without your help? Just leave everyone in suspense i guess haha. Let me describe it cause these pics do it no justice. The Tribal design started out as a 45 foot peice of masking tape. The painter cut out every tribal design with a razor and then put it on the truck. Thats some patience right there. The red that the tribal is in is a new color thats not out till next OCT but some how he got his hands on it and its like $500 a pint or whatever the small can is. So its pretty crazy color kinda hard to explain. He air brushed shading around the tribal but the shading in the maroon on top is cameleon and the shading in the silver is black. Its pretty trick in person.

Dude, you change paint jobs as often as I change my underwear! Anyway, from what I see those pictures do it NO justice, but it still looks BAD ***! You have one hell of a painter to do each tribal individually. Most guys use a stencil. Very cool!

So this is what happens when you have too much money and you get bored waiting for your AFR heads for your F1 blown 408. You're my hero! I want to be you when I grow up.

Nice ride blown.....and yes you're still two tone!
