Up here to the right
just got caught back up with your work after seeing the HD grill on there. Sad that the black housing lights didn't look better.

Truck looks great! I hope to have some free time on my break from school to get some stuff finished on mine (finally), but also discovered some rust in the left rear quarter behind the wheel. I was putting off the heavy paint ouch up you did, but it may now be unavoidable.

Also, I've started drinking coolant, so it might be all for naught.

Great job @05Single everything looks amazing!
Don’t drink that, you’ll die!

Thanks means a lot :cheers:. Yea the paint correction is a task but it's like a diet, the hard part is just starting it. After you're done you'll be glad you did it.

And thanks for the coolant tip, maybe now I can drink that and finally grow a full beard20171219_103433.jpg

Color matched front end. No warping of the bumper cap and front and rear chrome bumpers are still looking good, as is the grille. Maybe I just got lucky. Do et!!

I want to trust me, but I've seen lots that don't change form and I've seen lots that do. Of course I have no pics lol.
We'll see this spring. Might leave cap black. And more I think about painting the chrome myself the more confident I am becoming. I've wanted to wrap it but I know it won't match well and it'll just disappoint me.
Sounds crazy but I'm excited to declad these wheels first.

Holidays were insane.
Late post, but yea the Christmas light set up. Those icicles move in in sync with 20 different patterns. Pretty happy with the white theme, still best in the neighborhood.....every year:gr_grin:20180103_174025.jpg 20180103_174047.jpg
Still have the revolving merry Christmas projector light on the garage.

Next year need to include my boring neighbor.:hmm: He buys lights I'll even put them up

Also the star in the window is a traditional Filipino Christmas star my wife had me put up. Hand made, stupid expensive, it's cool part of the wife's heritage. I'm always down with that.
