finally got pics

[phatcap]

well, i finally got a photobucket so i can share some pics of my ride. might not look like much, but i've done a lot to it since discovering TRS. thanks everybody and let me know what you think.

need new wheels...and to get rid of the ugly gap between the tires and the fenders!

my grille redo. i used some expanded steel and painted it silver. i also dremeled out the gray plastic part of the grille with the vertical uprights. i eventually want to get rid of the horizontal chrome piece and maybe paint the mesh part black. idk

here are my badges custom made by me...lol

she's soon to be closer to the ground with new rolling stock and the exhaust dumped before the rear tire.

Nice, I like it. I agree about the wheels, though. Something a little different would look good.

i wrote the lettering myself with a fat marker, scanned it in to the computer, cleaned it up and had a guy at my work laser-cut the two layers out of plastic. i glued the layers together and added the chrome vinyl on top then stuck it to the truck with some black foam tape.

no way dude! i'm an artist and pride myself on creating/having stuff that is original and my own. if you want to try and steal it, whatever, BUT, i can make some for you or anyone else who might be interested. with your own design and for a nominal fee, of course...

i like the grill like it is. chrome on black looks gooooood. leave it!

 

[phatcap]

thanks wicked. i agree about chrome and black. one of the reasons i got this truck in the first place. i like to be able to see the grille so i think i will leave it as is. i'm afraid if it was painted black, it would just disappear into the radiator.
