Thanks, it took forever to do. I took me about and hour to get the letters on the tail gate looking nice with tape, and another hour to get it sanded down. I got to his house at 9am, and didnt leave untill 9pm.

P.s have you tried out the meter yet?

My grandpa bought in new back in 86. He drove it untill he passed back in 99 or 00, and it sat in my grandmas drive way for 7 years untill she passed and i got the truck with 110,000 miles. When i got it, it ran like sh*t, and the whole passenger side was covered in rust due to it being in driect sun light for all 7 years. So last september i got it painted at a local place for 1100. did a good job but just always wanted the white down the side.

Now time for work be back on later.

Thank you for the compliment.

Yea thats wat i was going for. All my friends and family thought that i was insane in doing that big of a stripe. And all but one of my friends thinks it looks awsome. Cant win them all. In my area there are a lot of this body style truck with newer paint jobs, and none of them have the stripe goin down the side. It sets my truck off from the rest of the crowd... Now i just need to find a way to put 2 12" icons, 2 sundown 1000d's, and a new amp for my fronts (most likely sundown again) in there

:drink40:

Hopefully i can get this new job and have enough saved up for everything in about 2 months.
