I like that color man!

If you want an simple alternative to adding stripes, mask the truck at the seam line above the door and paint the roof black. Go a bit further and mask the bottom at the seam line below the door, wrap the front and paint that black too. Will be just enough to set it off for a custom look without complicated striping. (Just a suggestion)



Don't forget to gloss coat the whole thing before you assemble the body.

Do you plan on putting a future stretch in it?

Thanks for the suggestion Up9018. I hadn't thought of that. I will consider for sure.
Gloss coat.... hmmmm..... that is a good idea. I wasn't going to but I probably should.
Yep there is a stretch planned in the future. I have read that the King Hauler frame will work nicely to make the stretch.

The king hauler frame makes the perfect length frame for a globe liner with that custom large car working truck look. I have one n I love the length.

That is exactly the look I am hoping for. Now I just need to find me a set of King frame channels.
