Well I have everything short of my 08 tailgate to start with the paint. I am replacing all 4 doors, the drivers side fender, hood, rear bumper, and tailgate. The bed and front clip have already been replaced.

All of the emblems on the side will be shaved and gone, all paint matched handles and mirror caps. I am going to leave the inside of the Harley Grill chrome for now, might end up plasti-dipping it. The truck should be done within the next 3 weeks

It's been a long road man. It's really hard doing it on a college kid budget. Should name the truck ramen noodles for life lmao.

Well the 08 tailgate fell through. So it's gonna be an 99-07 for a while until I get a good deal on an 08 one and get that done

Probably for the better. To put it nicely, that guy could use a little sun... because he's shady as ***!

You are correct. Cadillac silver. It is supposedly a large flake paint making it appear As a darker silver. Truck goes in this weekend for paint.

Hoping it comes out good!!!!

Found this online

Good idea of what it'll be like. Only I will have paint match front with chrome in the middle of the grill.

Yep pretty much! Just undecided on headlights.

Might do chrome, might let mattP take a stab at making them silver. We shall see.

New wheels next to old

Well hitch in my plans now. I traded wheels with an old roommate of mine, well he brought 2 to Lima to show me, left one and took my classic locks and one classic 2 home with him. Well the next day he took them to work and they got stolen out of the bed of his truck mind you he works at a ford dealer in Plainfield, so now we have to figure out what to do about my missing wheel and his missing 4. Sucks ass.
