LMAO me or my sign guy one got a number crossed in the sign, good thing we didn't pain them on! I decided to change it up a little bit anyway, I'm going to put EST. 1978 on the bottom of the door to give it a little more of an aged feel. Then put the number and another word or two on the bed side.

The door sign came out great. It looks like a painted and aged door logo. Looks sweet man.

Not much progress today, my graphics guy called and he's coming back Monday to finish up.
I did get around to finally installing my I-pod transmitter in the truck tonight.
Between it and the Sirius radio you see below it I think I've made the best out of a plain jane radio.


Measuring and buying the wood for the bed rails this weekend!

I love it when a plan comes together!!

Went to lowes to pick up a little wood.


End result.






Pulled them back off to stain them, gonna do that tomorrow, cold beers to be drank right now!

Going with "Ebony", it won't be as dark as the can looks, but it should be a nice look with the grey and black.

This is going to look awesome. I like it because its different, I have yet to see another truck on this forum done up like this and I think its great. Its a nice change from all the blacked out trucks I see on here. Nice work, keep it up

Thanks!!! Its definitely a different build for sure. I think once it's all finished up it will be a neat piece! Plus the best part is I don't have a ton of money in it!

The ebony stain is going to look awesome against the grey on the truck. I agree with Kev3451 the truck has its own unique look to it.

I think so! If the rain holds off the rest of my signs will be on today. Hopefully the wood will be dry tonight and I can put them on for good!
