Project Gold Digger

josh@thedieselcartel · May 11, 2014

Used a couple of sections of 5" pipe I had laying around and my buddy Jeremy from Miranda Built tigged up a custom center over the axle dump for me.

Ill be adding a new tip and getting the whole thing coated soon.

Heres the truck sitting on its wheels. Still need to get the grille bars painted. Install the Rigid Dual 40s in the bumper as well as the Q series fog lights. Also still waiting on custom headlights from Jeremy @ Retro Shop

Wheels with the faceplates installed.

If you already have the paint mixed and have some extra, might as well.

Dzchey21 · May 11, 2014

no i agree, kinda makes me want to buy filters when they are on sale again and paint them with the door handles and stuff LOL

Just to let everyone know, your not allowed to paint any filters of any sort. Only I can do that, :morons:

Josh, killer job on the color combo! Really like this one.

I wouldn't hold your breath... Josh has a history of teasing us with pics of the individual parts on his trucks for entirely too long before we get pics of the whole truck... LOL

Haha yeah well I'm waiting on the last few pieces of the puzzle before posting good pics.

Finally got the truck pretty clean, took a couple decent shots one night. Also waiting on my new headlights.

josh@thedieselcartel · May 26, 2014

Now for the headlights.

These were done by Retro Shop LLC. Painted to match the truck, satin black buckets to match the grille, and gold projectors for obvious reasons.

Most dual projector lights like these use "dummy" top projectors which are just to complete the look. Jeremy from Retro Shop took the time and created the first set of functional top projectors. These both will have Morimoto HID kits, 3.0 Projectors and the apollo shrouds. We decided to use "switchback" halos behind the shrouds. This means that the halos will glow behind the shrouds when used as running lights, and they will turn yellow and flash when i use my signals.
