I like the look of those fenders, and I think going with a cream or off white will look good also. Something a little different and it will soften it up a little bit, instead of a bright white. Good idea.

Very nice rev, do you have any photos of the entire truck?

I'm challenging you to produce one post that you've ever made anywhere here that contributed anything of value.

I think your truck, if it really even exists, is gonna end up looking like something that you would cruise down to the ghetto in and sell crack out of.

That's nice.

Thank you for your opinion.

Everything sounds cool except those spot mirrors! I thought only rookies needed those??? I figured you would try and keep the body as smooth as possible since you are removing the horns? You are gonna mount a train horn set underneath the frame aren't you? Those battery boxes would be cool looking with some diamond plate accents on the step surfaces. You def need to add some 7"or 8" stacks that will tower above that rig!

The company I am leased to requires them. As such, I am trying to make them look as good as possible.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna put train horns on it or not. I may just keep the stock horns, and simply put them underneath.

I saw a PT Cruiser today that was cream colored that looked pretty good. I don't know what the blue would look like up against it though. Here is a link to it, but it doesn't look the same as in person. Looks a lot darker. You'll have to choose the color yoself when the window opens, it's beside the black square.

yoself = yourself. misspelled on purpose in honor of grammar day.

Rev,
How about a light silver metal flake in the second/third (I used to put 4 layers) layer of clear? I did that to a Saturn show car once and the guy won awards with it,...when the sun hits it it looks like the flake is floating in water. Of course you will use a good (Imron) epoxy based enamel for the frame.
I'm no fan of stacks,..but your truck would look bad with a set of 7's running up the sides.
