I've been considering doing the same thing. I'd like to shoot the inside of the frame with something too. I can see salt and other stuff sitting in there making it rust from the inside out.

$3.89 a gallon where I live. Chicago proper is usually at least 20-30 cents more. I have never bought gas in Chicago though. Just know because I used to work there. Gas prices are all over the place in this are. I can drive 20 miles or 5 miles east south and it will be .20 less a gallon. I think we spend more on taxes here in Illinois than we do on gas.

NC just has such a HUGE gas tax compared to SC, so for the 10 mins it takes to roll across the border, it is SOO worth it. Near my house, there are two stations about a half mile apart, always battling for business. Their prices can change literally every three hours.
Now relating to the thread, I took the yard waste to the dump.

.....okay, not that patiently.
Well, after 48 hrs, 1,280 miles, and a few energy drinks, I got to drive it into work this morning for the first time in 3 weeks!

Wow, that looks amazing! Love the skirts but those rims are real knockouts!
Nicely done!

dang stealth, truck looks pretty sweet. PTM handles, B-pillars, and badges plus darker front windows and like a 50% windshield and it'd be complete as far as exterior appearance goes IMO.

lol Yeah with the tint, I'm trying to keep it legal. :o

Planning on the glossy pillars but am undecided on which handles I want, all black painted or black painted buckets/LT handles. Have Saleen vents but don't know if I want them painted or leave them alone.

Because of the rims, I think LT handles would look stellar.

Washed, clay barred, waxed, cleaned the interior and ran the carpet scrubber on the seats.
