Going to do a reshoot tomorrow night Daddy:thumbs:. I will also take some pics tomorrow and post if i remember of my painted battery box and the plastic cover for the radiator:lol:. I painted both pieces with a base orange, and two different color oranges with sparkle-like color on them. Really pops the compartment out. Waiting on a bud for some chrome flash to go under the hood as inserts too. Going to do the radiator overflow tomorrow if it doesn't rain. Also have one more led tube to go in the engine compartment tomorrow for nighttime showing at car shows/cruise nights. 9 tubes all together, maybe one more behind the grille in a couple of weeks.

yeppers!! Never really see the same color of the vehicle as the same color of the leds. Orange on orange! I have one 50" tube for the front, and one for the back. Plus a 50',30" and one more 30" for the sides to cover it all the way down. Lotsa cable running lol. One more 50" coming today for the engine compartment.

I think you need more lights. That just doesn't sound like it'll stand out enough for anyone to notice. :dunno:

:D

Hey, you have to give him credit though! He took an orange truck, arguably the ugliest color ever (on a truck, I SO want a Hugger Orange 69 Camaro) and made it into a very nicely done show truck. I never would have guessed an orange truck would clean house in a TOTM contest (@GMT).

Nice Job Kevin!!!:thumbs:
