Its a riot tell you put it on the side. lol I love mine. I hope to get back to the track this weekend now that I am getting everything dialed in.
Finally got home early enough to take a picture in the light, but of course now the truck is dirty from driving it the last few days. Got a new Reflexxions cowl hood, I'm going to take this coming weekend to try and align fenders and such, then the truck goes back down to the body shop next week for hood paint and touch-ups on the rest of the panels.
Been trying to decide what to do with the Duramax badges, and I think I found a good place for them

For now yes, I went way over budget paying a shop to paint it for me. Probably will color match the front eventually though.
Thanks! It's got some swirls I need to work on, but other than that I'm happy with how it came out.
I wouldve been happy to drive it with the old paint. Looks really good, Chris. Very proud of you and your accomplishment! :thumb:
I just read through this thread. Wow! Great work!
This made me want to gut my toy now that it runs and drives.

Thanks Tom
It's been so long since it's been in 1 piece I forgot how much fun it is to drive!I'll have to look that one up...swirls are from the wet sand and buff. Body shop polished it twice but they told me it needs a couple more times before the swirls will start to fade.
Thanks
No offense but I wet sanded and buffed my regular cab and it was my first time..... if you polish your paint correctly it shouldn't swirl like that. I looked at the pictures and it seems like they left polishing trails everywhere.
Two bucket:
One bucket for soap and wash mitt. Wash a panel of truck then use second bucket to clean out wash mitt. Then go back to clean soapy water and repeat. I also use a separate bucket and wash mitt for wheels/tires/wheel wells and amp steps/frame.
I'm a little anal though. :roflmao:
Like these wash mitts:

I really like Adam's polishing system too. I use mostly all their products apart for wax and that's just because I haven't gone through my current wax yet. They have a building in Denver I believe. I would call Dylan @ Adam's. Super nice guy he just moved from CA to CO not too long ago so he could hook you up with an amazing detail and recommendations too.
