Hey guys, I was playing around with paint earlier to see what my truck would look like with a black front end, bumpers, and rhino lined(or similar) from the lower body line down. Tell me what you think.

Just a note, I will be driving the truck all by my lonesome tomorrow to Monson, so anyone in the general proximity of 84 is more than welcome to steal one of the passenger seats. PM me if interested.

Josiah I like the lower body line down but keep the grill and bumpers chrome. My 2 cents

maybe do a monochromatic scheme with the grill and bezels, make it all the same color as the sheetmetal. then do the bumpers and body line rough poly black.

i replaced all 8 coil packs on the mustang today with MSD blaster coils. they were cheaper than 8 from ford, and better so it works out rather well. Greg made fun of the dirtiness under the hood so i had to take car of that....


then i repaired my sisters horribly cloudy and yellow headlight lenses.

Wow.

Aaron, your sisters headlights look great!

Josiah, your grille and bumper looks to be in good shape. If you want to paint them black perhaps you could find ones that are faded/scratched and more deserving of being blacked out.
I liked the old Krylon semi-flat black for things like this.

I was priming walls until 3:30 this morning. Carpet's scheduled for install this week.

Good runs today Aaron. Glad I was able to get up there. Thanks to Greg for the ride. I will be getting some videos onto the computer in the next couple days.

Thanks to Andy, and Greg for the t-shirt work. They came out great!
Thanks to Justin and Brendon(and their buddy) for the pizza! I will certainly be visiting that place soon!
Thanks Trisha for the Brownies.
And it was nice to meet Trisha, Kathy, Alix, and Brendon, and Aarons friends that I don't presently remember their names(dangit!).
Sorry if I forgot something.

Oh, Aaron, hope your sisters lung stops collapsing.
