    Okay, now you've got me on the hook. Loving that hex grille, would love to switch over from the pro replica! Any chance you'll offer an option to have the crossbar color matched?

    Those shrimp/prawns, though, you've got a tougher stomach than I ever could.

    Stupid question but I’m doing this now... how did you draw such a nice arc to cut? I was thinking of using a compass but that will make the cutline equal. Yours appears to be around 1” in the middle and tapers to nothing at the ends.

    Oh gosh,,what have I got myself into...
    [​IMG]

    Test fit
    [​IMG]

    Bumper light assembled. I am loving the new color of the powdercoat.
    [​IMG]



    Since the truck and grom will both be going to SEMA, I had to freshen them both up with a paint job. I am testing the Grom plastics first and make sure I like it before we spray the entire truck. It's an OEM basecoat Quicksand(4V6) with a satin clearcoat over. Yeah I know, I'm basic but it looks factory with just a little twist. Some angles it's matte, and when the sun catches the sharp edges it has a nice sheen. I think it's going to look killer.
    [​IMG]

    Grom tore apart. Trying to get it done first because I've got a ton of work ahead on the Taco to make the deadline...

    Wrapping up some other parts,

    Finishing up the Morimoto Triple projector retrofit.

    Next is the interior. I have full Katskinz covers on their way, sound deadening, as well as OEM Toyota interior Carpet. I figured If I am ripping it all out now is the time to do a full refresh.


    And finally...I am officially out of my old(first) shop building. It was a humble beginning, but on to bigger and better things!
