Hey novacancy, what bumpers that on your truck?
valiant   +1y
putting airbrushed graphics in the stripes is a good idea. I could hide skulls and flames.

so here what I have so for.

Bag it, i am estimating around $2,500, I want bags on the bars
Body drop, so the pinch rail is gone
Shave everything, handles, locks, badges, bodylines
Repaint it stock color and airbrush graphics on and paint the SE-5 stripe over the graphics, shoot about 4 layers of clear over it.

I do mostly body work myself, so the only part of my plan I am worried about doing myself is bagging and body droping it. I am still planning the interior in my head, lots of fiberglass will be going into it though.

what do you think?

i personally love the heritage of this genre You got an ext cab SE-5, badged for 700 skrilla, I would treasure it yo!
I've always wanted one, even if you don't replace the graphic in that spot , it would be nice to represent, I would shave everything but.
I guess thats what makes all of us unique in our art.

is an SE-5 something special. I thought the SE-5 stood for standard equipment 5 speed. It would be kind of cool to put the SE-5 there but in a different script.

I'll have to draw it out and see what it looks like.

se-5 = sports edition 5 speed. Usually, that means it has AC, p/s, gay stickers on the side of the truck, interval wipers, and white wagon wheels.

man, I wonder if it was badged a SE-5 but really isnt one. I have no power steering, no ac. I do have the wheels and wipers.

I dont know, I really like the stripe, just I cant find a script that would look good on the truck if I was to put SE-5 back on it.

novacancy,
I live right down the freeway from you in puyallup. I cant bag it now cuase I have to fix my car so I have something to drive to work, it needs some wiring under the dash repaired, but once thats done, I am going to start saving. I would really apreciate any help I could get. Like I said before, I usually do body work and engine work, never really got into suspension, until a few years back when I saw my first minitruck layd out.
also, I have some 4x4 front fenders that I need to repair to go on, and I dont want to cut into this 2wd bed, cuase its so mint, i want to find a 4wd one.
will anyone going to the sittin pretti show aug. 26. If so, I might see you there.
