Dying to Arnaldo haha, legit killing me.
Don, truck is going into toy mod in a few months when I graduate. Fog bumper in chrome will be added at that point along with the street scene cowl hood and lariat flares. Westin sport tubes are going to be added later this summer. I love the caliper covers and drop will be later on. My goal is paying for school... More important. I'm in way better shape than most people my age in regard to debt. PTM is overplayed

That's funny! Yeah that's another thing, plus this color has to have chrome. PTM looks cheap, legit hated the one I saw of it all PTM. I'm a chrome guy, I like having something different than anyone else has.

Everything is being done in stages, mods are already all planned out.

This has to be one of the nicest looking 04s I've seen. Great work. As far as the por 15, go all the way and use their marine clean and metal prep. Unless you're pretty rusty under there, por 15 will just flake off.
Also, just a note: if you paint the spare with por 15, don't paint the center hole that goes around the hub. I recently had to use my spare (I painted it with por 15 about a year prior) and it went on fine. When I went to take it off one day later, it was completely welded to the hub haha. I hit it with sledgehammers for over two hours. The spare must have a very tight tolerance. That was no fun.
