I Made It

This will be 500th post. I never thought I would have had this many. I think I get a new title, but I'm not sure. This is a great site and I couldn't have made it this far without you guys. Thanks for enjoyment so far.

On a more serious note, here is something I have been scheming on now (You may have seen my thread about it). I like to change my truck up in the winter, just because I can. So here is a photoshop a fellow Oklahoma FTE'er did for me. Let me know what you guys think.


It would be just the color change and the stripe around the flames, none of the shaving or smoothing, yet anyway. Thanks again guys and now to my next 500 posts.

hotrod48,

Hey kid, congrats on making the benchmark. I always appreciate your input and insight.

The flames against the black suede look awesome!!

Good form

I think your truck would look awesome like that. I hope to get my 48 looking like that one day.

Hotrod - Don't you think the title "Elder" is a little ironic?

I like the paint job.

Thanks guys for a ll the comments. I really apreciate it.

Wayne S, you will be there before you know it.

bobby, it's a benchmark of bench racing.

restoringmy46, thanks and it looks a lot better in pictures. Hehe

redlightning, still broken. If it will ever warm up, I will get my trans tore apart to see what broke.

GreatNorthWoods, I tend to like flames too.

Randy Jack, a little ironic? Hehe. I think I need it changed to "young punk kid with too much free time".

Panteraboy, hopefully I can git r done.

I prefer the glossy red it has to the flat black. But you can always change it again.

Happyford, flat black is mean.

Walston, I didn't really understand that but it may just be me. It's currently a flat red.

Thanks again guys.

Congrat's; man that flat black really makes those flames come alive; One of the best things about FTE is the awesome variety of attention to detail there is. Looking forward to seeing your 48 standing out in the crowd.
