The old paint gave it some style but it being about 15 different colors makes body work a little tricky. I wanted to get it one color for the show and then once I get back it will help a lot trying to get this thing blocked out. It is in pretty good shape but there are definately some areas that still need attention. Hope to get it put back together tonight.

Aside from the metal work on the front end, what way did you actually lower the truck?  I see in the pic you still have the shackle hanger there but do not see the leaf springs there.  Did you use some kinda 2 or 4 point link set up in the rear.  What about the front?  Looks good, I'll see ya at the show on Sunday the track is up the road from where I live!!!
Don't wear a tux without the BOWTIE!!!

You might want to screw your top bolts back on your fenders, >:( I was trying to take your fenders at Texas Showdown but the truck was laying to low to get the bottom bolts :'(

Sorry I couldn't make it out there this weekend to see the ride.  Had a house full of family in town...not to see me but to see my 2 mos. old baby girl.

Post pics from the show if you got 'em.
