NIce color, is that somewhat identical to the copper bronze color that they put on newer mustangs? Good Deal BTW, you could literally taste the victory!

**Palf70Step** · 03-08-2003, 04:56 PM

Looks good!

*Gee_Emm* · 03-08-2003, 04:59 PM

Looks pretty shiny and straight, the paint will turn out only as nice as whats under it.

You might want to update your profile so others won't have to ask.
That is one sweet deal on the paint job.
What are the next plans for your truck?

Hey Hutch, just updated the profile. I plan on putting in the Tremc 5-speed tranny next. That is if I can get the darn thing. Seems like lots of lolly gagging around. Might get a motor too. The IRS was kind this year.

<MAYBE I CAN BANG GEARS LIKE THE SMILEY GUY!!!
