Sweet, Bill!

What's the (what looks like a) wire on the wall from the lower right of the window?

Varathane waterbase. Satin or semi, haven't decided yet on that. We'll see how the sanding goes.

Pop, that's just the mini-blind pull cord.

Thanks for the reminder. Found an extra blue oval on CL I want to pick up, strip down and repaint.

Thanks for all the opinions on name stuff, btw. Made for entertaining reading while making up our minda. (Taylor stuck, btw) Everyone but

New opinions requested- Black oval on a fire engine red F250... looks clean or sacriligeous? :-)

Have a safe trip out Steve. Looking forward to the updates.

Duly Noted sirs.

Would that also make it sacrilidgeous to chop the top of a Superduty?

(Even after an hour or so of looking I've yet to even find a pic of one, but always thought it could look hot if well done.) So far I've only seen the older trucks chopped and tubbed for drag radials. The shape of the cab would require a donor roof to stretch the roof properly, and some real artistry laying out the cut lines. It'd be a project for waay down the road, but want to get a friend who builds really detailed models to see if he can get the praportions down.

Absolutely!

A regular F150 Crew or something like that would be fine, but not a Super Duty!

Oh, but I'm not going with the Gecko. He only saved me $10 per month.
UPDATE: I didnt go with the extra equipment coverage.

Also, called my old insurance agent today to cancel and they told me I can remove my truck and have myself insured through them as a driver only with liability only for about $250/year.

Heres the kicker, I've already paid about $1200 to them. So they are sending me a refund check. And I dont have to pay a cancellation fee.

I dont know how much the refund check will be; the difference of what I have paid total, or just the initial down payment, or what.. But I ended up getting a great deal by switching.
