Warren D Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 This is the recent release kit and I must say it's one of the best kits I've ever built. Very few issues and the fit was 99% excellent. I shortened the frame to 160" wheelbase and that was it for the mods. I've had these 3 colors in mind for the last year, all pearl metallics, gold, orange and red. I had planned to do sharp masked lines and maybe cover the inevitable blemishes with pinstriping. I decided to try a fade blend at the transitions and overall, I'm pleased with the results. As usual, the pics don't do the paint justice as those pearl metallics really pop, especially in the sun. While never a fan of the drink, it does remind me of a tequila sunrise, thus the name. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cifenet Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Good job making this truck so clean and pretty! The color shifts very nicely and it is something that would show up in a national truck show possibly making one of top three awards. Even the interior looks like a fancy lounge. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
