Re: "The Black Pearl"
Baja I can't remember the name of the paint off hand, I'll dig a bit and get it.
Gixxer I do have updates just haven't taken any pics of them. Since my last post I have converted to high hump, had my rear-end completely rebuilt(eaton posi, moser axles, 3.73 gears) and removed the front inner fenders and started trying work on squeezing a 13" wide trailer fender under there somehow I just received my new truss supports from Nate so those are at the powdercoater as we speak. As soon as I get those back I can tie up the front end. Now that I have my rear back I will also be able to finish up the back end. The body work and paint on the truck are done minus the inner fenders so this should start moving pretty fast once I get back to work on it. I have all my parts now so I shouldn't have anymore periods where I'm sitting around waiting on things to come in. As soon as I get the front and rear done I'll post up some pics. Yunk I'll get some better pics of the wheels this weekend. Thinking I might have my spare frame rolling by then if the powdercoater calls me with my parts.

Re: "The Black Pearl"
From what I've seen there is a pretty big difference in a flat black versus the satin black I have on my truck

Re: "The Black Pearl"
Well the front is rolling, the rear isn't far behind. Need to weld a few nuts on my gas tank straps and then I can slide the rear end under, pics shortly

Re: "The Black Pearl"
