I followed your project Ben, and I have to say that if mine would turn out looking that good, I would go for black, but I have neither the tools, facilities nor the expertise to make it turn out that good. That's one gorgeous looking truck! I like the black with red flames too!

I intend to still use mine as a truck should be used so I don't want something that is going to look bad all the time if it has some dust on it. The more I think about it, the more I think the way to go is to take my time and do it right the first time. I will learn a lot more that way too and I can take the time to get the tools to do it right instead of suffering through with what I have. It's only time and money, right?

Well said Nate! You're just showing off now Ben. Lol. Your truck is gorgeous. Like Nate said, I wish I had the tools, skill and knowledge to do that good of a job. Just isn't there right now, but my truck gets beat up!

Your truck is extremely nice Ben! I myself, don't want all the tools, skill, and knowledge to do body work! Honestly, I can't stand it. But, it's better than paying someone else to do it, or have to look at the rust. I'll stick with the mechanical side of things.

I wish I had a good place to paint. I would like to get better at it so some of my stuff could turn out as good as yours. You definitely have talent!

Seeing all this body work makes me want to get new fenders and the spot behind my tire fixed.
