Love it! But this is still a cream puff rig 😝.

Sure looked like it in person, but then again I was hypnotized by the under hood area.
 
Will you be dipping or blasting the tub and bed?
 
Man. What a journey for this truck. So basically what is going on is that Jason is repainting everything. I’ve kind of always known this was not really the correct paint for the truck. The truck is supposed to be Colorado Beige which is a darker shade of beige. That was confirmed earlier this week when Jason found some good spots of the original paint on his strip down. Now it’s going to be the correct shade of beige.

It’s going to look much better that color and there is no longer going to be anything lacking in this over the top build. Thanks for the work I’m having a blast doing it
