    gradually replacing the bumper with hairy bondo ;-)
    Or possibly masking tape? Admittedly, a careful job with the masking tape, but good tape and reasonable care make nice sharp lines. Freehand would be well into the OCD range.

    Looks good - not what I'm going for, but I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going for, exactly - truck is black (pearl metallic black, I guess - factory paint) now, and I'm considering trying to repaint it before it rusts to heck, given the 2010 frame it has now. Thinking a red/white two-tone job, playing with how the line goes where the upper body lines break, and doing something up top so the top is not an unbroken expanse of color - or going red low, wide white stripe between body lines, red high and perhaps some Shelby-esque white stripes on the top.

    Had MOOG upper and lower ball joints, new rotors, new cv axles and some wheel studs installed. All parts had 214,000 miles on them, so I figured it was time. Boots ripped on cvs and rotor were warped bad. Drives and stops great now. Can even tell the steering is tighter.
