Back from Cancun. Kinda a blur haha but good time overall. Now back to the truck.
Thanks Dalton. Saw the vids in your thread, makes me wanna do it real bad but it may have to wait til next year I gotta save up some money to pay for college and such.
But in the meantime (next 2 weeks before I go to college):
Tint, front 2 at least until I see pricing and if the guys will do the windshield
Black heads and corners

I know, disappointing that there isnt a bullet going in soon but hopefully I can save up for true duals and then it'll be done the way I envisioned the first time

You could get the bullet and put it on and put a $10 turn down on it for now unitl you save money for pipes.

Haha yup would have been on if it werent for the lobby internet which was way slow. Took about 15 minutes to send an email to the rents haha.
Thought about doing a turndown but at the same time I might as well do it the way I want it. We'll see though cuz maybe I can still get the exhaust if everything falls in line in the next 2 weeks.
Anything new in the last 5 or so days I missed?

well i was goin to do the bed coat but i went to a buddys house and he did the whole underside in this rustoleum and it looked damn good(plus rust prevention) so i was sold. he used 5 cans under his lifted 77 single cab chevy. But he did everything visible underneath like leafs axles and everything. im just going to do frame and stuff you can see easily. So i only got 2 might need a 3rd but hopefully not. will find out soon
