After 3 wks of hard work . I finally painted my truck, Woo, Hoo PICS

I redid my truck 8 yrs ago from the ground up, but over the years it's had it's toll. I needed a cab corner, 2 fenders, bed seams done over, dents & dings. After 3 wks of body work, and a couple hours of paint it's back to one color. Now the fun begins ,putting it back together. Here's a couple of pics after the painting. To see more of the body work , click on "MY TRUCKS"

Wow, thanks for all the great compliments. I'm going wet sand and buff it this weekend.

whered you get the body parts?
Bought new fenders from a local panel supply store, and had someone cut out a cab corner from a clean donor truck.

Looks sick dude u keepin the 4Runner back?
I still have to paint the cap since the color was a little differtent this time. I'll put it on before winter starts.

WOW! Looks awesome!! I was just talking to a friend today how I want my truck to be one color, now that I am going to keep it... But I was thinking rattle cans... this makes me think twice about going that route.
