    Well, i've been away for awhile but here she is. All bodywork done, complete paint change, new powder coated wheels and went back with stock tail lights.

    Thanks. I wasn't sure if i wanted to keep it old school or do a full custom so i decided to mix the two.

    Round headlights are cool but i think i wanna keep what it came with for that year. I did spend a little time with it today and did a little grill accenting and painted the black parts white to match my rims.

    Ok, it's only been a couple if months since i had it painted and i noticed this yesterday. I was told that this is common with flexing in the bed and it even happens on stock factory painted yotas. I never heard that before. It's happening on both sides of the bed in the creases just above the tail lights.

    The body seams should have been scraped cleaned of the old seam sealer & new applied. The new seam sealers are much better !:cool:

    Yeah, that's what i thought. The guy who painted it didn't bother to do that. I'm taking it back to him this weekend and see what he can do to fix it. Thanks.
