original:
(edited with new clearer updated truck picture!)


wanted to add:
american racing 767 steel rims black finish


20% tint.... i think this is a reasonable level... want to reduce cab heat and visibility looking in, but also i don't want to go too dark and make people think that I am hiding something so they break in

topper off... i know this will be hard because you don't know what the area looks like behind the topper... if you need to just get rid of the background or photoshop the truck on to another neighborhood background...

bug guard off... it's off now, i just haven't gotten a new picture

new paint job? if you want to, go ahead. but if you are going to, i'd appreciate two copies then, the original paint w/ the improvements, and if you want to, go ahead and do what you think would look nice on the paint (no camo, no flames, no cheesy decals etc)



want me to get a new picture with a new angle or something? just ask... in fact the above picture was taken with a cell phone, if you want a more clear picture i can take one real quick... nice and easy with a nice digital camera
anything else? well i can't think of anything right now, but just ask!

There are others and they help out when and where they can, but I do agree from time to time we need more "choppers" - thanks for being patient

Well I am in awe of how bad I am with a touchpad but it should still give you an idea of what it will look like. When I find my mouse (or get a new one) I'll redo it, or one of the other guys can do it when they got an extra moment.

Hey Chance - you the touchpad king LOL. I would not even attempt it - I keep a hardwire mouse in my laptop bag just in case my batteries die and I have no replacements.

thanks alot man!

anybody else like the way it looks?
and hazmat, i know the difference between like flat and gloss, but what one did you design it as? i personally don't really like the look of flat paint (does it have any different care requirements?), i like really glossy paint better.

A lot of street rodders go the flat black route. IT is not that hard to care for, just no waxing. The render I did is actually semi-gloss which is mid way between gloss and flat, a little easier to take care of than flat black.

You are welcome . . .

Sorry I don't have photoshop to re-design the truck but I'll give a few ideas. I'd definately stick with the stock paint, this truck is in way too good of shape to put flat paint on it. Maybe a new coat of clear on the stock paint? It looks good with the cap off. Paint the mirrors black? Put some Goodyear rubber on the Am. Racing rims with the white letters facing outward.

Good luck!
