Haha, na... I was being silly and talking about the literal truck nuts. I figured with how your build is going, and is classy and clean as it is, joking about something as retarded as hanging bull testes off the back would be funny, especially for a SEMA build. I'm loving this build, I can't wait to see what you have in store for it.

I'm really curious as to how the 54" curved bars are going to look on the truck - hopefully it's wide enough to stretch across the whole windshield. I've been thinking a lot lately about doing that with mine, but the bar mounts would have to be perfect in order for it to work (look good) on my truck.

You guys are doing great! :toast:

, yea I didn't figure someone on the army would ask an obvious question like that. Someone on Ig asked how a tire iron fits over those lugs :jawdrop:, no tire irons will be used on those things. The 54'' bars have shipped, just like you said I am hoping they span all the way across the windshield. I'll post up some pictures when they show. I ordered those bars back in March I think, pretty jacked to see those bad boys.

Finally we got to start throwing some color at these parts, so many small parts. Prepping, tapping and setting them up to spray took forever, I'm glad we decided to do the interior now rather than later as this is time consuming stuff. We had a full booth of parts to spray ruby red, this paint had to be cleared twice. Once with a tinted ruby red clear coat, and once with just a straight clear, this made things a little tight going back together but we'll save that for another post.

Come back tomorrow so you can see some pictures with color involved,

oke:, I'm sorting things out as I'm a little behind on my posting. I'll start posting more often here, my bad.

This is how a SEMA build should be. Well done.

Wow talk about the little things. Attention to detail is crazy on this!!

Finally we got to spray that good looking ruby red, I love this color. Bright enough to look cool but not fire engine red either. I think it will look great inside the truck,

Finally things are getting serious, these next few months are gonna be awesome, but stressful.

Just an opinion, but I'd think a satin finish on the interior pieces would lend itself to a more OEM finish. Just accustomed to seeing a lot of glossy interior panels.

As others have said- awesome work.

I see your point, the black pieces I'll post later are toned down with a satin finish. Although I wanted a gloss red scheme for the interior, it is a somewhat difficult color to spray as like I've mentioned before there is a layer of tinted clear coat between the base and the final clear. Throwing in a flattener really complicates matters with this color. Plus I love that metallic, :naughty:.

That color is definitely growing on me. The more I look at this thread, the more I like it... Great job!

More painting pictures, this time some black. Too much goofing around here, a ton of little pieces that needed to be sprayed. Are we done yet? :morons:
