    Hey Zig, don't forget to put the hood release lever and stuff in place with the grille installation or you'll be taking a bunch of bolts back out to get it in... Guess how I know that! :eek: The world's soon gonna' be a much more 'Manly' place, isn't it? :D

    DONE! (kind of~)

    So after the Chiefs beat the Giants, I went out and finished getting those <last two> bolts installed. There's always "those two", aren't there?!
    Anyway, you know me~ PICTURES!!!! :D

    Robert, the paint is just acrylic enamel with clear coat topping. It's weird how the color photographs~ It really doesn't look like that in the sun. (Says the color blind owner...)

    Anyway~ YAHOO!!! I just made some simple projects a bit more complicated by hanging all that, but I just had to! :rolleyes:

    Gotcha !

    I can tell the first picture there is staged because the truck's exhaust isn't steaming like it is in the second photo ~ when you're actually working in the snow,you leave the heater on , this means engine idling too :p .

    Nice pix , both of them .

    I like this one~

    I'm really happy with the way this idea turned out. You know how I l-o-v-e the curves of these trucks, right? I wanted the separation between colors to reflect those lines, and I think it worked out okay.
    Okay, I promise, no more pictures for a while... :D
