Paul this thing looks great, beautiful job. Not to mention flat black is the greatest color ever, can never go wrong with flat black.

Thanks Nick ur right on the black it is great color and I like that the truck is not a perfect paint job and body work cause the real truck is a little ruff its self.

Holy crap leave it to me to be a day late on seeing the progression of this truck. The truck looks great Paul and very good piece to display all those great parts by the vendors. Keep on trucking with it and the details are just unreal.

Little UP DATE... Been getting grief from a good buddy that is close to the truck and one of the guys that drove it about it only having 2 stripes I did not think I could fit the 1st stripe and it have the right spacing but I worked on it last night and finished tonight and it fit great and looks spot on..

Paul the truck looks so much better with the three stripes as well. I think it breaks it up a little more but still makes it flow better down the side of the truck.

Paul,
The workmanship and attention to detail is awsome love the fuel tanks and the extra plastic you used under the cab and sleeper. Great job can you tell me what you used to make the mount for your C.B. antena.

Thanks Much Tony.. All I did was take 1/4 x 1/4 square plastic tubing and cut it at 45 deg and then glue a piece on the back side to fill in the square so I could mount it to the cab..

I normally do not care for black trucks BUT this build has changed my mind :eek: Adding the stripes is what tipped the scales. All of the custom parts make this truck a definite one of a kind show stopper:D :D

Way better with the third stripe! Back when it was only two, and you said you didn't have room for one more, I was going to say it looks like it would fit to me! Glad you added the third. That really makes it perfect. Nice job. It's a good looking truck now!

Thanks Nate... I did have the third on there once before but it looked way wrong and I got it in my head by a body shop buddy of mine showed me what I did wrong I did not go down the curve of the front fender far enuff to make it look right and I am glad he showed me..
