new truck
 
Looks like one at least!

Not done assembling it yet obviously, but it was enough to drive it home.

NICE!!!!:-X22:-X22

those new head lights that you are getting will really finish the look off.

When the wheels come off I'm going to clean the wheel wells and axles really well and paint it all black.

I'm getting new rims.

here is some daylight shots this morning:

Wow, it really looks much better in daylight!!

NMB2 05-09-2012 09:20 AM

it will look completely different once again in a few weeks after it gets cut and buffed.

looks like a totally different truck in the daylight.

Bryan says once it gets cut and buffed it will be 10 times shinyer.... and will look wet, and smooth as glass. Hard for me to picture, but I'm excited.

yea, it smooths the paint and gets rid of any orange peel that there might be.

that paint really pops. lol

Someone likes red! It's very shiny, like a candy apple. I wouldn't have painted the grille but to each his own.

Towing without my passenger mirror was a little interesting.

Rims will be done thursday or friday.... I'll have them on by the weekend.

New windshield going in tomorrow.

Interior will be done soon as well.

Great looking truck! Great pic with the Civic on the trailer, looked like both could fit right inside the bed.

Aune163rd 05-10-2012 02:23 AM

Yeah I do. They should be here tomorrow. My wheels will be done this afternoon, as well as the rear door pillar handles, wiper blades, and tailgate handle.

This weekend I plan to put all of that on, put the body mounts in, and start on the interior maybe. I have a lot of work to do on my bronco also, so I gotta make time. New charger is supposed to be shipped this week also.

Just washed all of the dust off of it today and took a few pics in the sunlight:
