Cleaned her up today.

Finally got a break in the wet weather around here so I could get out and wash her up.
This is the last time I'am going to see it like this. Its going to the painters tommorrow and I wont have it for a week.
Hopefully the wait will be worth it. I'am getting some custom graphics and airbrush work done to it.
Thought I'd share a "before" pic before it goes in.

Any hints or will it be a surprise?

Hi Canyon,
As much as I love the ghost flames on your truck, I decided not to copy them. I really appreciate you going out a getting some more pics for me though.
Iam going with something with some color, and I also
wanted something that will cover the bottom half of the
truck and wrap around across the back of the tailgate. Also getting the bedcaps painted to match truck. The black plastic on the rear bumper is going to get painted too, then the graphics on the back will be faded from bottom of bumper on up to match the sides
Other than that, the rest is a surprise. I will definately
post it when I get her back.

Hey Saleen,
I took my truck in for service and they had a black FX4 with same pattern flames. They were different colors like gold , purple orange, red and ghost like. They would change color based on where the light source was. Looked pretty slick but I don't really like black trucks.

I hope it turns out good for you.

No turning back now

Well, it official. I dropped my truck off tonight, to get the
graphics done. No turning back now. Its funny how I felt
when I was leaving it ( I know its just a truck right?)
Iam going to try a get up there as much as I can during
the process to take some pictures to post here.
Just keeping my fingers crossed that it comes out good.

Later............

"( I know its just a truck right?)"

Only my wife thinks that way. It will be some time before I can afford to make any mods to mine but there will be some. Under the hood at first. I've spent nearly nine hours today searching these forums for ideas. I've already worn out one legal pad and this pen is almost out of ink.

Hey Canyonslicker, do you have a gallery set up anywhere with pictures of your truck?

Can't wait to see your truck either saleen97!

Thanks
