Lol, body work is finished on it apparently, and it's being prepped for paint, "supposedly" it should be ready by Saturday but I'm not sure if that will be the case. I went through 4 completely different ideas on what to do with it, ranging from stuff like this...


To stuff like this...

To this...

I even played with the idea of painting the truck this color...

But the amount of work necessary to keep a paint job like that clean is ridiculous.
It's hard to tell from those examples but I don't like cars that scream for attention and say "Look at me", yet I do like cars that look clean, understated but still have the wow factor. Not sure if I picked the right style, color or theme but I did make some kinda decision and we'll see how it turns out
. Gonna keep it to myself until I can get pictures up because explaining it will probably make people
, and maybe it will also make me wanna
when I finally see it completed, but I will say it's a OEM color from Lamborgini.

Im pretty sure it was exclusive to the LP640. I also happen to be a fan of the blue they used on the Honda Civic Mugen Si. I work as a Honda tech and Ive only seen one in that color. Here it is.

That pic doesnt do it any justice at all. Its similar to the Arrival Blue but it pops alot more in person under sunlight.

Well I stopped by the paint shop today for some last minute paint changes and tweeks and took some pictures, she's all prepped and ready for paint!!
Won't be ready by saturday but should be ready early next week.
Here's a few of the shots I took of the turd!





Also took a pics of the driveline and exhaust while the bed was off...

And one of the puttied up wheel well that's been widened/flared

but the grille covers it up pretty well and it's not all that noticeable if you get it close enough.
