Whoa, that looks nice, the seat goes great with it too. If you put some black stripes on that truck they might make a spot for it in the 2nd Transformers movie coming out...

So it that yet to come?

I saw in the other thread that you don't like the door jamb connections but man it was one of the first things I noticed about your pics, I love how clean they look and do you really try to work the window with the door open very often anyway?

Nice ride ya built for sure. I also think some black accent would be cool. Maybe black out some of the trim ya still have left to put on. Wish I could do the photo chop thing. Would be fun to play with. Sill I luv what you got there.
