Nice edit haha.

Engine bay is covered in dirt. Going to do a before and after of that as well. I'm going to try to buff the paint tomorrow so not sure when I'll get to the engine bay.

Thanks man!

 

good luck on cleaning up the rest man

 

Thanks man. Not looking forward to it lol.

 

Buffed the paint today. This was my first time ever using a buffer. I think it came out pretty good considering. I'm sure someone that has more experience could do better, but I'm trying to get this truck looking as good as I can while keeping the cost down for the time being.

I started out practicing on the tailgate.

Before


After



Here's a before shot of the bedside. It looks like the guy's dog hung over the side of the bed and his nails scratched everything up.



Here's an after shot of the bed.


Unfortunately it started raining so by the time I was done with the truck all I could get is these crappy garage pictures. Hopefully the sun is shining tomorrow and I can get some better pictures.







I think the last picture is my favorite. Let me know what you guys think. Constructive criticism from the detailers is welcome.

 

Good job, looking very good.

 

Thanks Jim!

 

I think you may need a custom grill to match the lower grill on your truck


BTW i have some JLP 2/3/4 shackles (gives 2" 2.5" or 3" drop) that you might be able to talk me out of keeping

 

I was going to paint the factory grille next weekend. Do you have an extra Patman grille laying around?

I'm def. interested in the shackles.

 

looks a ton better

 

Thanks man

 

 

I know you're a good detailer. Anything you think I could have done better on?

 

It's hard to say from here man, but I would suggest cleaning those wheel wells and applying dressing to them. Simple thing to make the truck pop a bit under further inspection

 

dont have an extra one lying around no, but i could probably whip one up for you since you backed out of the first one you ordered

Ill probably be headed back to waco in a couple weekends so keep in touch

 

Thanks for the advice! The finish on these wheels is done so I'm going to repaint them and I'll do the wheel wells at the same time.
