    More random painted stuff

    I have some more stuff painted random colors. Playing around with my daily and seeing what I like so I'm ready when I find my project.

    Post from the Dead!

    Truck is still alive and kicking, no time to work on it so it stays like this. I bet I can hit a million miles, I'm halfway there.

    Remember when we were talking about Hemi orange and a 22R cuda stripe... okay, I was bored on my day off...

    I gotta say though, the truck looks good without the emblem in the grille, do you still want one? (just curious)

    I gave up on getting the front logo. I want to get some drop spindles, the front end needs to be lowered IMO. I'm still not sure if I'm keeping the truck honestly. I want a pre-75 hilux.

    The mock up looks tight. I might mess around and post what I would like it to look like in a perfect world.
