Bolted the last panels onto the truck yesterday and thought I would show it off a bit to the HiPo group. Will start laying out the wiring harness today instead of watching an overhyped football game played by over paid juveniles. Truck is turing out better than my original vision and should be road worth by May if all goes well.

OUTSTANDING! I really like the tail light arrangement too. Do you have any close up pics of them?

Great looking truck!!! Been following your build through the process and you've captured the color and stance that that will set it apart from the run-of-the-mill custom trucks. Retaining the true essence of the AD series will pay off in a thousand "thumbs up" and you'll be pleasantly amazed at how many folks will relate to the 54. The AD trucks are genuine "Peoples Choice" picks wherever you go.

All of your efforts will pay off ten-fold, when a 10 minute trip to the store takes an hour as the folks just won't let you make a quick getaway!!!! Another Stovebolt success story!!!

I took some time selecting the color I wanted and settled on the Toyota 1D6 color code. It is used on the current Tundra and Sequoia models. Glad you like it. Thanks for the compliments.
