Project TOP GUN..

[rockNmayhem]

Such a shiny rear plate there Paul. I'm thinkin it'll look great when its all polished out or are you gonna cover it up with paint. I hope not.

Lookin even better Paul.

Thanks Much Tyler and Mike for the great comments they always help keep me motivated.

Ok I got sometime today to work on the truck for a bit..I got the new 5th wheel mount made as i do not like the plastic piece that comes with the kit.


Here is a flex shot of the modified leafs and mounts.

It will do that with out any weight on it's back it moves great.

I got the alum tank brackets in the mail today and tank straps from Brian in PA so I mounted up IH builders great tanks.



And a under shot Nice and Clean like it should be..



Side shot I also cut the length of the turn out up top down on the Bull Pipe turn outs.

[QUOTE=Tamiya Cowboy;25917][B]Thanks Much Jessy! You going to bring this truck to a show this year or WHAT!

Nope, No shows for it this year. Needs a visor, taller stacks, new coat of clear and a good polish job before it goes any place but work. Will post pics of progress in the 1:1 section.

[rockNmayhem]

Hey Paul mind givin some of us a little insight as to what you did to get that amazing flex shot? That would be great to add to the dumper I'm workin on. Rought terrain and stock don't mix to well.
