Its gonna be nice.......thanks Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Impressive John, If that rig was 'Down Under' you could put another axle in to make it a 'Tri-Drive', then you would have the perfect rig to pull a 'Road Train' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackd Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 John you did a super paint.Honet I find the truck real very ugly.I have a kit that I will climb day cab but I can tell you that the painting will be not as beautiful that holds it.

Q tip Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 the lonestar is really a love hate relationship in the world of trucks. you either think its the coolest thing you have ever seen or its the ugliest thing on the road. never liked the stock headlights they just seem to be completely out of place. that's why I put the singles on. and with the colors, I kind of stayed with the original, just swapped them around. the 1970's to the mid 1980's is when the manufacturers really produced some of the best looking paint jobs hands down. that's what I was after with this truck...............thanks john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
