Bigfoot, what was your trick to keeping the front edge of grill different than black? I want to do my 74 the same way.

First shoot the color of the leading edges. After a thoroughly dry time, mask the leading edges with 1/4-inch fine line masking tape (I use 3M from the autobody supply shop) to protect it and then shoot the background color.

Looks pretty good. Do you like the clear signal lens better than the orange? I have to get a new right front signal lens and housing, so I figured I would change them both out.

Beautiful job. Did you do those wheels yourself or is there somewhere I can get them so I can steal your look?

Hio, what tires are you running? I'm looking for an A/T tire and I like the way these look.

If yer asking me, my rig has clear lenses when I bought it. I like'em better than orange cuz the clear looks better with the theme of my rig.

Dunno if this is directed towards me... the wheels are plain ole steel wagon wheels. I just shot'em with Rusoleum Hammerite Bronze... I wanted a bit of contrast which black wheels would not have provided. Again, goes with the camo /war wagon theme..

I'm running 35x12.5x15 Goodyear Wrangler ATs... the PO put'em on a few miles before he sold it to me. They still had that blue film applied over the letters when I drove it home. I figure I bought a set of tires with an attached 4x4!

Did you borrow the idea from HIO like I did?
