June 22, 201411 yr Author Why not go blue from the top of truck to the bottom of orange stripe and keep the bottom half gray? Just keep it a simple two-tone.That's a good idea and where I'm leaning atm.But then I found the pearl white tbat I had and..... It looks like shit. Now I remember why I changed my mind. Covers like ass on a large surface with the spray cans. I ordered enough blue to do the top half of the truck just a few minutes ago. The gray, I can get at Lowes.

June 22, 201411 yr Author Yes. Not in spray cans. I'm not ready Ti invest in a airless sprayer right yet.
June 22, 201411 yr Yes. Not in spray cans. I'm not ready Ti invest in a airless sprayer right yet.I think some chameleon pearls or some color shift pearls would look sweet on your truck
June 23, 201411 yr Author I need to get a few things fixed on the truck while it waiting.Broken door handle drivers side. Broken window track on passenger side.Need to rebuild my capacitor box and redo again at 18v.Hook up my xs power step down module.Hook up my external regulator. Alternator is already ordered.Pull subs and verify all is still good after last weekend.
June 24, 201411 yr Author Blue is ordered since I can't buy it local.Going to leave the phantom grill blacked out.No stripe at the moment.I'll decide if I want to once the blue is laid down.
June 24, 201411 yr Ill be at finals for sure. Looks like Hot Springs Arkansa this year.Hmmm. Not posted on the USACI Events Calender. ThanksGuess they are not planning anything "unified" this year ???
June 24, 201411 yr Author Went ahead and threw a factory cowl on the front to help it look a little lower.Question is, paint it to match the body or leave it black?
June 24, 201411 yr Went ahead and threw a factory cowl on the front to help it look a little lower.Question is, paint it to match the body or leave it black?If you want it to "look" lower, paint it gray. The black blends in and won't be noticeable. Maybe you can do something about the trim holes in your front bumper as well.
June 26, 201411 yr Author Need to build a narrower and taller box but I believe this will be how the banks will reside. Scooted closer of course.Some big, some minor changes coming. New cap bank, New Singer alt, and trying out some different subs until the tridents release. Gonna be a busy few weeks.
July 7, 201411 yr Author Those are kind of low scores. Hopefully by end of the month, we'll see how the truck shines with the upgrades planned.Time and money have slowed down progress. Plus an emergency trip back home last weekend.
