Ok guys, since you guys have been so patient with me, and some of you have been wondering where I have been, what I have been doing, it is time to spill the beans....so to speak. Most of you have been following the build of the airbagged truck, which is a seperate posting, so I won't get into that one on here. This is a concurrent project that has been being built/painted over the last couple of months.....this truck was entered into a contest last year in Street Trucks Magazine, I am sure a lot of you guys seen it. Well, I didn't win the competition, BUT, I did place in the top 5 designs! So, by doing so, I was offered a one of a kind paint job by Simon Evans, of www.paintbysimon.com. Mr. Evans spent two weeks painting my 2008 Silver Quad Cab, working a LOT of overtime hours on this amazing paint job....so, let's start the ball rolling on this.....

Here is the concept drawing, done by none other than one of our members here on HTC, Angel of Death Customs!

Ok, ok, obviously the truck I have to do this with is a 4x4 right? Should have made it even easier to paint right? WRONG! Ever try to wrap graphics around a set of fender flares????

Now the truck had been stripped, cleaned up, and the flares installed (by yours truly, none the less! Yes, that's right, I stripped 90% of the stuff off the truck *had to have some help taking off the hood*) I even sanded the truck 5 freaking times!!!! Talk about sore arms.....
