Your frame looks nice and smooth. I like. Also love seeing the longtube headers through were the inner fenders would be..

ncgamedog · 05-06-2011, 03:19 PM

What color blue is that?? I love it! I saw where you said its PPG envirobase, but I'm assuming thats the line of paint not the color, right?. Do you have a color code or something where I could match it? thanks and keep up the great work, very nice truck!
