    I had no idea you were a douche bag either.

    Back on topic..........why the black chain? I like the contrast of black with the cream, but the chain is odd to me.
     
  7. Sorry...are you questioning the use of chain or my color selection?

    Color is a low gloss black - using MIG welding sort of lost the definition of the chain, and you'd need real clean TIG work to make it neat enough to get away with chorme or full gloss. Long story short, it's sloppier than I'd like and hid it with a flattened black.

    Thanks, DRAGDOC

    A girl's gotta stretch her legs now and then Groucho.:D

    Yah the chain is what makes it awkward. The whole truck is glass smooth *no pun intended* then WHAM! It's like a whole serious of speed bumps.

    If you closed your eyes and ran your hand along it, you'd see what I mean. The black I actually think is a GREAT contrast to the cream color.
