No, we just went back with close to the original colors. The blue is a bit off, but I like it. The same guy redid my Mustang plates for me too, but he said he hated doing them so much that I wasn't allowed to tell anyone who did them

It's a lot easier mentally knowing I can still jump in the truck and cruise or go to a show (like I did on Saturday). I'm trying to minimize how long the truck itself will be down. The cab is very solid overall, but I made my own homemade rockers out of roofing tin (I know I know, I promise it's the only place I red-necked the body). They were meant to be temporary, I did them like 19 years ago... you can't even tell they're not real rockers today... The overall floor and inner rockers are very solid, but the lower kick panels will need a small section. I did have holes around the back window and expect some damage around the windshield, "just because." The under floor braces are a little crunchy the last couple inches near the rocker. So not terrible bad.
