Hmm.. looks a lot like Honolulu Blue & Silver... with FORD in big letters. Do the cheeseheads in Webster, WI know that you are a closet Lions fan?

Seriously, it's going to look fantastic.

Great color combo. Looks like this truck.



I've always loved those colors. You're not doing two-tone, right? Body blue and fenders and valance silver, right? Love that look too. I might just have to steal... er, borrow... those colors.

Can't wait to see it done!

That is awsome! Picking the right color, for me, was the hardest part of the build.

That is a very nice combination. It's gona be a beauty for sure. It's got me second guessing my original thoughts on a color choice when the time comes for paint.

It is called River Rock Green, a Toyota color. It looks charcoal grey in the sun, but has a green hue that comes out in the shade.
