Looks great!


Never was a fan of painted interior but you didn't go overboard and it flows together nicely. Looks good!

You did the right thing thinking it through.

I think most people just mask off the windows and throw a gallon of paint on the inside and call it done.

Thanks, yeah its still gonna be a while until I can rip it open and start working on it. Wont do nothing major until like a year from now. All I can do now is try and get a picture in my head of what I want and get a rendering done when I get back. Seeing a lot of these trucks gives me some good ideas.

Good thing about being deployed is no bills, nothing to spend my $ on, so all my pay checks keep piling up. Should have about 35K in my account to play with when I get back!

Wow! It I had to vote on the best looking flare side I had seen I would give it to you. I have an '01 Flareside that I am just beginning to customize. I also bought a dual action polisher recently from Shurhold. It is the same as Maguire's. Ironically, when I was in college I detailed cars for extra money. None looked as good as your's, though. Did you clay the truck first? I also love the details in the interior. Especially the mural. I am a maritime attorney. Great idea! My truck is going to have a theme that I am not going to reveal yet but I think I may borrow your mural idea and have my printer make something up for me. Unbelievable shine!! Great job! Steve M.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate the compliments.

My own truck I'll only clay once or twice a year because I keep it washed and waxed so regularly contaminents really don't have a chance to build up on the paint. I pretty much just polish and wax it.

Post some pics when you get going on your interior...I'd like to see what you had in mind
