Look what I did today!!

Well I've been debating on taking my stupid looking pin stripes off. I've just been to lazy to do all the scrubbing to get the goo off. But today I said f it I'm gonna do it. So here's the outcome. Let me know what you think.

I also cranked my t-bars and rotated my tires(not in pics). My alignment is already off so I wasn't concerned about that. While I was at it I noticed that my pass side sway bar end link broke! and I need a driver side lower ball joint, geesh.

Here's the before and after of the pin stripe

after

I heated them up with a hair dryer so I could pull them off. They are so old and brittle it broke about every inch of the way! Then I tried goo gone and some muscle to get the sticky stuff off but that wasn't happening so I ended up using paint thinner. It was still a pain but I got it. Then I washed the truck real good and waxed it.
