looks good!

 

for a C note I hope so

 

Lookin good!

But you should paint that exhaust tip and hitch while your at it...

 

500' of thin wire was to hang the parts while painting them?

 

(I got 2 words for ya), "Mucho Betterer"...Keep goin you`d be surprised what you can paint on these trucks and completely make them look better..I`ll be painting the black plastic trim around my rear windows poss today, I already took b4 pics of them peeling/cracking their already sanded down ready for primer and paint...

 

Looks much better, Is the hitch next on the agenda? lol.

Can someone PM me with how to get that back plastic off? just for future reference since I'll probably end up painting it in the future. Thanks.

 

From the way it looks that piece comes out with the whole window!! not by itself. When i get mine painted i`ll put the pics in my gallery ..

 

I was going to do them the same weekend but doing the carrier was enough for me.


yep


I was planning to do that in about a month, make sure you post about it


thanks, the hitch is next but that's staying on to get painted (it's probably rusted on anyways) PM me too


make sure you do
