Default Roll pan project

So I got the body work done a couple weeks ago and had to wait for the SS rollpan to come off back order. Last night was my first chance to start on it. I also got my new tails in too. Still got a few tweaks to make to get the body line to match up. Hopefully it will be done by the weekend

LOL I saw that truck on amazon... a bit odd paint job. I thought those tail light would look sweet on a black truck. I'm trying to do a black/chrome mix on my truck since it has the chrome rear bumper. The previous owner put on the chrome handle covers on the doors and I was thinking about throwing on a chrome tailgate handle. Then contrasting the standard alloys with the black Gorilla lugs. Also thinking about that black locking bully fuel door too.

Anyway both parts look awesome!

That truck was a sponsored show truck, it's been slammed to the ground, lifted on 35s, had lambo doors, and a couple different paint jobs.

So i spent another 6 hours workin on the truck again last night. Between getting the exhaust reworkedand the lights on its almost done. Still waiting to get the bumper frame cut off so it will sit flush



Heres the video of how the lights work with the four ways. The beehives lights on the outside work with the blinkers while the 4 inners are tied into the running lights.
