been watching the thread from the beginning so i knew the green the truck was before, saw the first line in the email was "i finally got her painted"

came to thread expecting something other the green, truck is still green, leaving slightly disappointed.







just kidding man the truck looks like its new, i can see you dont have the optional holes in the cab corners for better airflow lol........ i hate rust and would kill to have a truck that clean good job
