Finally done!

I've been working on my truck projects for 1 1/2 months and its finally done! I'm relieved and proud of myself. Installed torque converter, longtube headers/high flow cats, Belltech shocks all around, rear frame c-notch, smooth steps, roll pan and shaved the tailgate all in my garage! Check the Ford emblem on the tailgate, its painted on and under the clearcoat. Tell me what you think.

Very nice!

It may be the picture, but those rear tires look like they have no sidewall. What size do you have back there?
