Nah, I don't think those will look right on your truck Bill, but I'll get rid of them for you!

They look good to me! Built for "Go, not for Show" right? But seriously, I think they look good. It won't take much to dress up those welds when you have the time to fool with it. Right now you've got a truck to finish and smoke to blow!

I can imagine! So what all is left? Downpipe, IC piping, what else? You seem to be getting close being able to pulling it out of the shop.

I think he is going with a Scarlet and Gray paint scheme for his truck in honor of the best college football program out there. Todd and I must have been rubbing off on him!

I agree! However, Bill isn't much of a sports guy. I guess a guy can't be perfect...

If I knew anything at all about college football, I would probably have some witty come back, but I don't, so all I can say is, if anything rubbed off Todd on to me, please tell me where it's at so I can wash it off! LOL!!

I'll pull them out this spring and redo the weld and re-paint them. I got in a hurry and that's what I get
You didn't grind them out or what? I always grind mine out with a flap wheel. Leaves them nice and smooth. Most of the time after they are painted, it takes a really close look to tell where the weld joints were.

The Huskers used to be good, I guess they still are somewhat but I hate the coach. He yells at the players on national TV, that drives me nuts and makes Nebraska look bad. That's about all the sports I pay attention to.

I'm pretty sure the expression when I was growing up was... gag me with a spoon! I mean, really, what is a Buckeye anyway besides a nut! A NUT! Or maybe it is the whole tree... I don't know. It certainly doesn't strike any fear into the eyes of opponents. I mean couldn't you come up with something a little more dangerous than that?

Bill.... don't worry, just listen to me when it comes to college sports and you won't go wrong!!
