yeah not to many of these trucks have much left at salvage yards by me either ive been looking for a tail gate with no luck. alot of them at mine are the ones that burned pretty crazy how stuff looks after a fire.

The E-fan will be on a Mark VIII or a crown vic of 99+ i think its a big ole E-fan i love mine.

Intense dash painting scheme. I like it, but its not something I think I would do. I have painted a few of my dash pieces black though, including my door panels.

its all personal preference thought right? appreciate the compliment though =) i know i could take it to a shop and get it professionally done and it would look perfect... but its more expensive.. and its my truck and i like doing stuff to it on my own and stuff.

the big grey piece that wraps around the dash is going to be the dark blue, the airbag and glove box will be white

Nah, there is no point in taking it to a professional to get the work done. You can do the same things that a professional would do with spray paint and some sand paper. Just fix your radio surround thing, and I'd say its a wrap.

haha yeah, well when i got it, it had a navi screen, but nothing loaded, and i didnt really want it honestly, so i sold it to a friend and put the one from my car in, but the person before me actually had to shave some of the interior paneling to get the navi to fit.. so none of my mounting brackets will fit my head unit.... so im looking for something that works haha. and i have considered painting the rest of the big dash part white... but idk... i feel like it would be too much white..

Hmm... when i first saw the white dash it was like i got slapped... then as i continued to examine.... it was like someone massaged my back...
I like it for someone else to keep clean. Bc living a mile down a dirt road, and on a farm, combined with hunting white never stays clean with me.
But Good job so far man! Two thumbs up!!

haha thanks guys! it was literally my first time ever painting anything like that so i feel rather accomplished.. im definitely thinking of painting the whole thing white and doing blue on the accent parts, but im not sure yet.. the white does glare kinda bad at night which is why i want to do the big piece dark blue
