this was my first ps attempt. i later removed the stickers on it but this is what i want in the end. the color is the white diamond off an 02 escalade. the paint will have to wait until i am properly trained in the art of autopaint since it will be my first paint project.

More like exciting, I have more plans but I'm new to ps. Thanks for the starter it was easier to use your truck to start then to ps the front end onto mine.

I'm going to do more salvage shopping on Monday. Think i may just get the sport bumper instead of the Laramie sine I want it painted black in the middle anyway. That will save some headache.

I actually like the bumper Jay's truck has on it as it defines the black area better.

Two stripes would look good, but one single stripe looks like it belongs on a Civic... IMO...

No. Mike got a 370z and stopped messing with the truck. He still has it though.

Oh OK. I hadn't seen him around on other forums in a while and when I stumbled upon this forum I saw this post. Got me worried he put a stripe like that on the old girl.

ha hah ha...... No this hasn't happened but it has nothing to do with my Z, that gets neglected equally, lol. I can't really explain what killed my desire to do anything to my vehicles because I don't know, although driving my truck is still my favorite thing to do. The white diamond paint scheme is still in the plans (no stripe) but honestly, I don't have anywhere to do the paint job the way it needs to be done. Dont worry bud no ricer on the Ram
