I had a lot of trouble with these gaps. Worked a day and a half on them and it still never looked right. Thes guys had it in a couple of hours.

I was supposed to take it home today, but they broke my windshield. I pick it up Friday. WooHoo!

Dusty, your truck color was what I was going after... My uncle had one just like this when I was growing up. He's going to pass a brick when he sees it  :D

WOW Fantastic Color Combo!! :o Looks like the Bonzai Blue that would really Love to have on my truck..... Wifey isn't much of a Blue Fan, but she did agree that it can go back to the Original Hawaiian Blue, so long as it has decent amount of Flakes to it ;D Although I'm still torn between painting it Flat Black with a Kustom Flame Job.... :-X

I love that shade of blue. It makes me jealous. I wish I could have picked my paint job.

 Very nice, I had a '76 Longbed 2 wheel drive that same color combo. Got the driver side fender, door and hood all painted from a previous owners altercation with a ditch and then came "The Deer", wiped out everything I had done to it and then some, lost interest and sold it. Wish I had it back now.

It had a couple of flaws, so they're fixing them now. At the same time they're fixing a screw-up of mine during window install, I put a nice 2in slash in the paint installing the driver's side window... made me sick to my stomach. Taped it and everything, just couldn't be on 2 sides of the door at the same time. :(
