Re: Back from the paint shop

These trucks look so much better when assembled. At the moment it looks like a truck parts version of JINGA. I vote for the outside sunvisor. I do not like the look of a visor on a pickup, but the look works for me on a COE.
The view from up there must be really interesting, at times. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, you know what I mean, you know what I mean, say no more. (Monty Python)

Re: Back from the paint shop

Nikki, It's a real trip to drive. Once in the drivers seat, you see the ground about 6 ft. from the truck on the drivers side, maybe 12-15 ft. from the front bumper to the front, and not at all to the passenger side. I have to stick my head out the drivers side window to make sure I'm not getting the bumper into something when going from and coming into the shop. Got to have a lot of mirrors. You're right, it looks a little ragged right now but it will look better soon. I still haven't decided on the visor yet but leaning toward putting it on. Thanks, Dan

Like I always say, sometimes, keep leaning. You have CRS, can't resist survivor.

Looking real good, Dan. I vote for putting the visor on.
