Sweet! I think you forgot to clean the rims. That's some serious brake dust!

BTW don't you have a painted tailgate handle?

In the first pic the people across the street are looking at you like you're nuts.
What all did you do?

Just get some glossy black spray paint and go to town on all the rusted parts. You should like the outcome.

Nice job, but the first thing I notice is just what others did...its not complete until you dress the wells....I like Redlariat use HyperDress 3/1 or 4/1 concentrate...however sometimes I use a collection of diffreent products.

RedLariat has been know to dress the entire under side of his truck. Trust me i have seen it.

Last comment....are you in Keller by chance? That looks like my hood.

Get a good tire brush and scrub those tires, bring out that white lettering

Did you paint those rims? They would look good, I think, in a gloss black with the chrome caps.

You should use some PlastX on those head lights, make em shine up real good

the problem with the white lettering is that there isnt anything to bring out. most of the white has been scraped off from parking against curbs. as the the rims, ive been thinking the same thing lately, i liked the flat at first, but i think it would do better gloss now. oh and the headlights, i used plastx several times, i even bought a headlight restoration kit with the sandpaper and everything. nothing seems to work, i think im just going to have to buy some new clear ones
