Sorry I didn't meet you when in Lancaster, BIH, or the outlets.

So what's the benefit to using under hood insulation? Is it primarily to keep out noise, or to keep heat off of the hood so your paint doesn't peel or anything like that?
I just now got to where the bezels would show up in your post. They look great!
I still like the way my old waffle-weave plastic bezels look in Flat Black though.
Where are the pony emblems going to go? One above each tail light where the "EXPLORER" was on some trucks would look good.

As for those bezels, I really like em! I like how the turn signals are alot bigger(im pretty blind) and condition, I couldn't ask for more.
And I'm not sure yet! Maybe on the front of the dash pad? Are you thinking of the regular beds, because I have a flareside.

So it's been around 2 months since my last post here. But I didn't forget about you guys. Up until recently I haven't gotten really anything done. Between finishing my rotary phase converter, felling 12 old growth trees and cutting them up, and a bunch of other crap. BUT, my truck is at the bodyshop now. Drove it 8 miles to our shop and had zero problems, other than the low idle which made temps go high at a stoplight. But that was cured with a lead foot on the throttle. The manual tranny has yet to go in, not really concerned with that until I have some free time. But it's coming along well. I wasted a considerable amount of time just to take it over to the shop, still kicking myself over that. So yeah, I'm back guys!

Don't worry about that Gary, there's always next time! And yes, a variety of things. I'm itching for a mill, just waiting for a deal close to me. I'd also like to get a bigger lathe from the 54" Atlas I got. Not to mention 3-phase motors are real cheap to buy, and I'd like to use them in some of my equipment that is soon to be built. I'll throw a pic up here soon too

Been there bunches of times, mostly going from Hockessin to the outlet malls as we tried to avoid 30 at all costs. But, we stopped there a few times for lunch, some times for antiques, and once or twice to ride the train.

So yet again, long time since y'all heard from me. Finally, the truck got painted yesterday. I believe our shop only sprayed the bed as of now, but it's in the spray booth, and ain't coming out till it's done. I'm heading over to the bodyshop to drop off cars for our dealership in 10 minutes, so I'll check it out and snap some pictures for y'all!

Pictures, please! I need to know what to look for at Carlisle next May/June - you will be there, won't you? I plan to be there with Dad's truck, and its just down the road from you. In fact, we'll be coming right through your area as we go there from Hockessin - assuming I still know the way.
So, are you game? I think Bill/85lebaront2 will be there. And, several others are talking about it as well.
