96ford, the black makes your truck look awesome. I'm Gunna attempt this over summer. I've got ugly *** tan interior so it's gotta go. My truck was ugly as sin when I bought it. I already paint the body flat black so interior has gotta go as well. Good job

There's barely any wires if you look at the photo with the primer you can see the wires that run along the back wall, that's it ! And I added a couple wires to it as well for blue LEDs. I came up with a good solution though I stopped by Canadian tire and got some black soft hose so I'm just Gunna run the wires through there and they won't be visible ! And when the seats are in I'm mounting LEDs under them too. And I wired them all to the dome light so it goes on and off when u open the door ! (put the actual dome on a switch)

Compared to what it looked like before amazing. As far as a paint job it looks bad. It's uneven so I'm going to do it again. I had a friend do it for me. We did it as a quick solution. He didn't do any prep work and shot once as quick as he could. So this time it's Gunna be done properly.
