You do really good work! I love how you have the same paint style on everything you have.


I read your entire build thread. Its amazing. I wish i could just see some of this stuff. The whole time though i have been wondering. Why copper? it seems like its kind of an odd color?

Thanks

Why Copper? B/c my name is not Red&Black. haha J/K
The same reason anyone chooses a color, they like it. In person it works well, trust me.


Couple pictures of the rear section fit...

That is by far my favorite custom console I've ever seen built! So clean and nicely laid out :waytogo:

Thanks 07

The black was shot today along with the clear. Everything will cure over the weekend and I'll have a pro polisher come in and do the trailer & the truck for a little photo shoot along with the bike to hopefully get some more sponsors on board.

Black!

The guy that shot the paint is one of our machine shop employees. The machine shop side is a little slow so if our guys need cash we like to find jobs for them to do to make sure they can support their families.

I could polish it myself I have the equipment & compounds but have no desire to spend a day polishing and waxing a truck and a trailer. Especially since I have a thousand other things I need to do. And I don't care how good you are with the clear gun, you will never get it to lay flawlessly smooth. :)

I know what rotors I need for the calipers, but haven't located them yet. Mounting won't be an issue b/c I can custom fab a mounting block very easily. And no the motor isn't assembled yet, I'm hoping to get on that soon.

The trailer got put back together and looks real nice. Needs a polish and lights installed but here she is....

dude....Looks absolutely SICK!!! Just looked through the whole thread and there are now many more mods on my to-do list. I just hope my honey-do list doesn't interfere.

Awesome job!

Copper thought i just had.. you should match your truck wheels on the trailer. that would tye the whole package together even more.. coule be an 18 if the big boys will not fit but use the same model wheel and would be one more step towards that seamless SEXy rig look you have going so far..

LOOKS GOOD

Thanks CG, Thanks Trick!

Already all over it JD, When the polish gets done, and all the photos are taken of the Truck, Trailer, Bikes in trailer out of the trailer etc. Then I'm filling out sponsorship apps for a few wheel brands to see who bites. I figure having the trailer is a nice change up for them then the run of the mill stuff like Trick has got. LOL JK JK I only poke fun b/c I want my truck to be at your level!
