I would just paint them and thanks for the compliments, Though I am no where near what I want to do with it. I am redoing the body and covering the WHOLE fender where the tire shows, droppin the ***, saving and doing a hemi swap. Very easy to find engine. New paint and interior and renaming it DevilsDakota. Which for about 8G I can do here by travelling down to the states for my parts. ITs either that or quit and build my ac cobra instead which is 20G.

Just started fixing it up. Its a family affair. Wife and I did the polishing and waxing. Kids did the tires and wheels and I spent 3 days pulling off the pin striping. Modest work compared to others I see, but its a WIP

Nice! Looks good Nemesis158. I love how the clear lights really clean up the look of the truck. My clears are fading, I've been thinking of replacing them again. Now did you remember to get amber colored light bulbs to keep it legal?
