    next day: 3in blocks in rear and crank the torsions a bit, tint the windows, smoke tails and front blinkers, install the free bedliner, paint the wheels, and put the 12in sub in.

    next on the list was change the timing tensioner, so decided to bling it up a bit and do my own reverse hood hinges.

    It's coming along pretty good! I'd round off those back corners on the bed cover, they stick out a bit. Can't wait to see progress!


    Also, I think you should look into 4x4 fenders, they will help the marry the front and back of your truck together with the flairs

    i am going to bend the corners down cuz there is folds at all the edges to stiffin it up and not have razor sharp edges. as far as the front fenders, i dont know why the previous owner didnt put on 4wd fenders before he painted it. now i have to wait till i have the funds to paint whole truck. i went to guy the painted it and we couldnt match it. its a newer ford factory color with a lot more flakes in it. it looked ok in the shade, but in the sun it was waaaaaay off. so i think i am going to get rid of the nasty flames and just do the plain sonic blue.
