Smoothed and Painted valance/antenna base complete

Steve T of Ford Truck World fame, hooked me up with a killer job of smoothing and painting my antenna base, and front lower valance panel. Steve thanks again! Great Job.......also added a Truxedo Low-Pro Tonnaeu cover. LT handles and SSBC brake kit ordered and on the way. Will post pics of those later when they are installed.

Thanks guys, trying to apply the Foose theory, where you look at the truck because you know something is different, but cant figure out what, so yea subtle, but cool is some what the is key here...

How much did he charge you to do your antenna base and did he do a good job?

I'd like to do my mirrors and my antenna base.

By the time all the shipping back and fourth was done it came out to about $240. The antenna base Steve did for free. The work is top notch, smooth as glass, he took the VIN number and paint code to ensure color accuracy. I am going to be sending more parts in the future to him, because of the great job he did. I think if you do a search for "painted mirrors" you can find someone on here's mirrors he did.

That looks great Adam and thanks for the compliments, would be nice to see mirrors and handles done on yours.

Here is a link to a 04 that I did for a member at FTW:
http://fordtruckworld.tenmagazines.c...&album=1&pos=3

It was featured at the SEMA show in Vegas. I painted and installed,
The Keystone hood, prepped and painted the grill surround and billet grill. Painted and installed the stock OEM chrome front an rear bumpers, prepped and painted both mirrors and all handles all around. The mirrors have to be dissasembled in 4 of it's parts each and the handles in 2 parts.
