Well haven't done much on the truck due to money so I got some side jobs done. Heres one that didnt pay very good but it was for a friend of mine and he used that duplicolor laquer stuff. I added some pearl to the clear to help it out some.

sweet, what size valves you running?

Re: MY build thread...
 
3/8" for the rear and 1/2" for the front. I was screwing around last night and measured lockup and slammed at the back portion of frame by the rollpan and came up with about 11" of lift. Now onto the front...
