    truck is looking good man, glad to see when someone buys a done truck and transforms it into there own. by the way what happen to the chrome rims, they look way way way better than the tuner wheels. i have some tuner wheels like that and cant wait to put some chrome on instead

    they are just wheels to roll around the shop on cant get the chrome scratched! and laying it one 20s isn't easy (metro break booster, and clutch master inside )

    but the pictures of the painted frame are going up tmrw i ran into a problem for some reason all the paint busted so i had to sand it back down and respraying it tmrw

    Looks good all cleaned up and painted! I like the green on the control arms and shocks. Sucks about the paint checking. Do you know why it did that? Surface contamination or something?

    oh nvm i thought you was talking about the pictures , there was a little place right on top of the bag mounts and it busted when i sprayed the sealer on it i just sanded it right back down and shot it again. Idk why it did that for i cleaned the piss out of it and tacked it down with a tack cloth

    Bro, you've got to do something about the exhaust. Do you have plans?

    When I painted my setup, I let the exhaust run pointed towards one of the shocks just for the trip home. It ruined it. Not the internals, just the paint.

    Everything looks great....

    as soon as i get the money but as of right now its just getting hot hues flat black with green accents it maybe sept when it gets paint

    i want to keep my stock exhaust because thats one thing the cops cant get me over and i like how quite it is i may put a chrome turn down on it and paint the muffler so it dont look so bad but i dont want to put a loud muffler on it that would get it impounded for sure
