What do you think of the parking lights?
I like those parking lights, if you wanted you could put fog lights in the bumper.

Didnt think about doing that going to look into it. Just add another toggle to dash. I didnt get pictures but got chrome bumper on and glove box liner in. Getting down to little things. Next biggest is tires and alignment. Will get pictures soon.

That's a nice looking burb. Lot of real estate to buff must have arms of steel after that.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

The patina is real on the cab and most of the bed. It was a longbed so I shortened the frame and the bed and then kinda faked the patina on the bed where it was cut and welded.

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

It has evolved. Its hard to tell in person from more than a few feet away except that I didn't grind the welds inside the bed and there is no filler on the bedsides at all so if you look close you can see the weld seams where I ground them down and the small amount of shrinkage from the welding. I didn't do any finish work at all besides grinding the outside welds smooth.

Thats a bit of talent if its that had to tell and you did no prep. That speaks worlds of how well you finished it. I need to do some similar work on mine on rockers he welded but never smoothed them out bugs me to death but how did you go about blending for the patina?

Re: Post you patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!

I found spray paint that was very close in color and fogged the entire bedsides and then fogged gray primer over that and let it dry then used a fine Scotch brite pad to scuff the entire bedside.

I used the same method on the bed strips when I installed the new wood. They were black.
