theres that speaker too geez man lol

nice work i miss doing work like that sometimes...

 

yea that kinda work is rewarding when you finish, it just gets kinda tiring.

 

Good stuff. This is gonna be nice!

What drag strip do you run at?

 

i usually go to either mooresville or rockingham, but this truck isnt being set up for drag racing. This truck will be set up for road racing and drifting.

 

After some serious malfunctions with the sealer(the white stuff), I finally got the bed done! Took me 12 hours to get it prepped, re-sealed, and painted... I couldnt have asked for a better turnout!!!

I did a little shopping today as well:









MMMMMM!

















Notice something missing???





Saying goodnight to it!

 

Looks BA! I like the step delete and stripes. It's going to look amazing when finished!

 

Thanks! I was actually talking about the fuel door. There will be steps going back on it to cover up the bolts.

Believe it or not, the stripes are silver! They look white in the pics for some reason. I got the purest silver I could find.

 

I love that blue/silver combo! I have to see this thing in person some day.

 

Well I feel dumb for not noticing the fuel door was gone. Guess that's what happens when it's 3am. Still looks great. Your truck has always been one of my favorites and this is just adding to how much I like it!

 

what color of blue is that

 

doublepost

 

lol, yea ill let ya slide for this time. jk

thank you once again!

 

speedway blue metallic and brilliant silver metallic


The first time i saw both of these colors, i fell in love. I told myself that one day my truck will be those colors. I didnt know what i was getting myself into when I ordered the two... For a good quality base coat, the blue retails for about 400 bucks a gallon and the silver isnt too far behind that!!!!! OUCH!!!

 

wow that turned out GREAT! you do good work my friend

 

were there stake pockets before?

Color looks great. Based on previous pics I thought you were going black. It's nice to see a blue back on the truck.

 

damn that paint is nice i wish i had a shop so i could spray in wow your truck is sweet i cant wait to start on mine just getting it cleaned up and painted wow again your truck is amazing nick and you do a great job looks awesome

 

wow nick amazing!

 

Thank you everyone! Im so glad I have finally found time to get back on the truck. I really miss it!!!

 

No stake pockets. Im guessing the flare sides arent strong enough for that? Since the bed sides are fiberglass, i guess that makes sense... sense to me anyway! lol

Black is NOT a color i want on the exterior of any vehicle i own!!!

 

I can't wait to see this truck in a drift comp or out on a road course tearing up some sedan compitition!!!

The paint on the bed is outstanding!!!

 

are you turning your truck into a gt 500 ranger? so far you've got the wheels, stripes, and a ridiculous engine :)

 

nick -- what did you use to shave the gas door? just lay mat and resin?

 

we already talked about this... I used a piece of plexi, some fiberglass jelly, mat, resin, more jelly, body filler, high build primer, sand, high build primer, sand, paint...

 

Actually, I never even thought about it that way. That does sound like a good scheme, but this time around, the only names on this truck will be ford and mine!

 

I moved the bed out of the paint booth tonight to make room for other parts to be painted... DANG! That bed looks even better under metal halide lights!!!! Its really unbelievable how much different the two blues are!
