Favorite thing I have done to the truck so far, some 90's centerlines I got on craigslist for 100 bucks delivered to my door.

After a shit load of polishing I got them shining.

I was really into the shiny wheel with shitty truck look but no one else felt it. I thought it looked sweet as hell.

With the shit talking I had to do something about the surface rust on the body. This was an under taking.

Im going to paint it right, this was just to get it one color without having to buy a big air compressor yet. I opted for some really shitty spraying rustoleam primer in a rattle can. We had some crazy as weather this last spring in Reno so I ended up trying to spray the truck in a wind storm and shortly after it rained.

You know I'm glad you finally signed up. You've done a ton of work to that truck. Be proud of what you've done, most people can't even change a flat. Keep the updates coming.
