    Not yet, but soon. We just closed on our first home, so I have been painting, but not the truck. LOL. Hopefully next week I will be able to get my tools into their new home, but it needs some cleaning as well. Priorities have shifted, you guys understand.

    It is driving me crazy not having sound and looking at the truck the way it sits, so it def wont be long.

    Did the door jambs Thursday night, then the cab, bumper, and grill Saturday. Should have the bed done Tuesday night and back together. Its simple, because I am not good enough to do more with an airbrush, nor did I have time. Not my paint booth, and I am costing that gentleman money the longer my truck is in the way. He sprayed the clear, not me. lol. My buddy Joe and I did the stripe and stencil, and I sprayed the base. I am VERY pleased with the way it is turning out. Hope you guys like it as well.

    Thanks guys! I will try and get the pics up tomorrow. Forgot to bring the camera SD card. lol. Went ahead and put the black (fake carbon fiber, but looks black pretty much) tail lights that were on the truck when I got it back on. They look a lot better with the white as well. Got the black mesh in the bumper also. Im going to paint and airbrush the door panels. Have something simple, but sick, in mind. Stay tuned for those, in my mind, they look awesome. LOL.
