    Yeah I've been keeping my eye out for one, they don't seem easy to find though

The tail lights were too shallow so I cut them back open, put 61 galaxie trim buckets in and then trimmed the 63 galaxie lenses to fit inside. Looks much better now

    The tunneled tail lights work better for sure.

    Got the bumper mounted. Filled the license plate gap. Put a 57 fairlane seat in. Painted some interior stuff. And attempted to paint some patterns on my tank (my first try at something like that) 20230507_163215.jpg 20230507_165349.jpg 20230510_185707.jpg 20230510_185716.jpg 20230510_190007.jpg 20230428_202559.jpg

    You’ve put a lot into this and some touches I like and impressed with.

    That being said….sometimes less is more on a theme and plan on customizing.

    50’s / early 60’s ok.

    Mating up to 70’s/80’s paint themes……of cotton candy and crystal blues.

    What is your vision ?
    Your truck - your choice.

    Just a opinion and if you tell me F/O I’ll respect that too and delete my post.

    Your metal work / customizing - cool.

    Thank you. I agree with what you're saying which is why I'm getting rid of the pink. The truck is going to be a cream/ off white and I'm thinking about doing blue with flake on the roof. Then the interior is the same white and blue combo. I think it will tone it down some. It looks a little crazy right now since it's like 10 different colors lol

    I liked the pink.

    I love this.

    it’s more serious, more dramatic and
    less “look at me I’m pink” and more like every time I see this truck I see something else I missed the first time.

    Looks damn good, like the blue/white way better than the pink. All the custom touches seem to work pretty good.

  17. Some kind of mild accents on the bottom will be great. I really like the bed. I'm a fan of the tail lights but they look great recessed. Congrats on your accomplishment. :)

    I had a few different ideas for the holes in this bumper and this is what I settled on. I don't love it but I don't hate it 20230524_212740.jpg 20230524_212248.jpg

    Haha ok, I guess I'm too old or too young or too lame to catch that reference

    Anthony likes your truck and would drive it, I like it enough I would even be a p***enger. Once you have been around a bit more you will see that Anthony often gives his approval, or his questionable taste, not sure sometimes- by saying he would drive it.

  27. Definitely not a dumb***. It is Anthony’s go to line. Still liking the truck, pink wasn’t doing it for me.
