Mikey bought this thing in back in early 08 and we bagged it to lay 20's he drug it alot, then painted in college autobody class, drug it alot more, tore the rear skin up then fixed it and i helped him 2 tone it with a unique graphic i drew up so he didnt have to paint whole truck at the time, he then drug it some more until finally the frame was pretty much broken in half......He now has brought it back for a sfbd, rewiring and plumbing of air system , a one off stepside bed, lay on 20/22 combo, custom roof skin, custom hood he is then gonna do all the bodywork and paint then have interior built

exhaust crossover still has to be tucked to lay front hard Mikey is in collision repair school and actually painted it 2 days ago, its the custom mixed orange i painted the link bars and shocks with. He got a plain orange from parts store for it then i played with some diff pearls and came up with the color

Here's a pic off his myspace

Mikey tore the back of his truck up and wanted to change it up and as part of the co-op program at the local community college he is attending we helped him out a lil. I designed a graphic to break the colors and picked some colors to go with his orginal orange he sprayed a few months back. we layed out the graphic, did the airbrushing and pinstriped it all. Mikey sprayed the bases and clear and got to see what it takes to lay graphics
