The tailgate needed to be painted and since it did, I decided to shave it too. I also repainted the hood and the grill surround. Since I am a vol. firefighter, I bought a red/clear LED dash light that I mounted just below the rear view mirror.

Anyway, on with the pictures:


Before:


Hood was semi gloss and didn't come out the way I wanted it.

During:


After:













And a little flexing:




That's it for the pictures. Let me know what you think.

 

Looks great Mike!!! now its time for that valance to be repainted!

 

What color do you want it? It's in good condition for the most part, the truck is just really dirty.

 

Awesome!

 

Lookin good Mike! I like the pinstripe on the hood/grille surround.

 

Awesome.

 

Looks awesome man!!!

 

x2 good job

 

Looks good!

 

looks great mike. how much did it cost for the grille and hood to be painted and striped?

 

nice work man

 

truck is lookn real good!

 

I like it better now

 

that looks great man!

 

I bought the paint and all the other supplies and then it was like another $110.

Thanks for all the comments.

 

Looking good!

 

Looks like crap mike! haha looking good man. Cant wait to see it next knoxville meet!

 

That tailgate turned out awesome. I love the hood as well.. Easily one of the sharpest trucks on here..

Now, get yourself a proper LED license plate light and do away with those ghetto rigged stockers.. lol



GB :)

 

looks good.

 

Whole job looks great!
I like the Hood, looking to do something along that line too.
Pin-Striping is different, my vote is still out on that but it look good on your setup.
The Tail Gate looks the best, I like the no emblem look, clean, straight forward, if it wasn’t so much work and money I would have it done to mine.

Great job, looks good...

 

IMO i dont like the tailgate it's just boring, also how do you open it now

 

Looks good. Did you flip the tailgate handle and put it on the inside or just ditch it completely?

 

Basically what you do is take everything out and do a 180* with it the rod on the left goes to the right and the right one to the left side and it all works out. So everything was just flipped.

I definitely kept the handle. While I want the truck to look good, i still need it to be as functional as possible.

Thanks for all the comments!

 

figured thats what you did. If you ditched it i would of thought you were dumb but kept the comment to myself lol. good work!

 

Looks Awsome Mike!!! i liked it before but it looks a ton better now!! the hood and grille tie in nicely now and looks good with the bumper. tailgate is awsome!! now you can actually lock you topper and cant get into unless.................well NM!!! LOL!!! we wont jinx it!!
