    Man that is a bad ass truck, the rims look wicked :wicked: can't say I've seen too many of those rims :thumb:

    The correction you did to that vehicle is incredable, it was in rough shape but the end result is wicked :applause: well done.

    Duely's are tough to do, so much surface area to polish hahahaha but the end results are very rewarding, specially on a black colour one. I did one but it was blue, lots of work on these bad boys but they are fun to do.

    What did you think of the rear fiberglass um...not sure there name but wheel wells :confused: I found them quite easy to correct, meaning that it didn't require as much effort as the rest of the vehicle.

    Oh question, what did you use on the exterior trim peaces?

    oh man you are insane this was anything BUT fun....haha yes the fiberglass panels corrected as usual and the cab gave me fits (why this one took so long when I didnt expect it to...b/c i started on the bed and was impressed at how fast and well it turned out but then the cab sl o w e d me down) I dressed the trim w/ Adam's VRT
