Looks great! I can't wait to do that to mine, though it won't quite have the same effect (white).

My girl got her Hellwig sway bar installed today. I finally had a dry day and was able to lay on the ground and "Git-R-Dun"!

Washed truck this morning. It was dirty after going to the tractor museum yesterday. Then I finished getting ready for the Daytona 500 Race Party at our house. About 15 friends and family enjoying the Daytona 500 on a 10' wide screen. Everyone brought food and it was all good. If any one left hungry it was their own fault.

Screen also worked good for watching the Super Bowl Game. We bought screen and projector a few years ago so we could have a back yard drive-in. Haven't used it outside yet, but sure works great inside.

Where does the truck come in on all this? I drove it to buy everything for the party, but it had to stay outside. But when we do a movie outside, it'll be there.

Sorry, screen is only 8' wide and 120" diagonally. Not 10' as stated above.

Watch race from any seat in house



Meatballs, wings and drumsticks



Hot dogs and all the fixings



More good food

I'm sad! My invitation must have gotten lost in the mail! Looks like a good time!

Blasted Post Office! I wondered why no one else showed up. I'll have to hand deliver next year. LOL!

I was wondering about that measurement, colors seem washed out also compared to the surroundings, is that indicative with projector screens? I have a 55" HD led above my fireplace and have been wanting to upgrade but not so much if that's what projectors reproduce.

No matter, looks y'all had a good time

I see what you mean, but in person it looks good. I think it has a lot to do with how much light is coming in from outside. But, I've never paid much attention to it. Here's another pic, I don't think the flash was on this time, I'm still getting used to my new camera and its settings.
