    well, i built this truck about a year ago, but i ended up finishing it so i could drive it a little last summer. i ended up blowing up the flathead v-8 i had in it, and decided to re buid it the right way this time. to be honest, it was a piece of crap the first time around, and here it is now.

    let me know what you think!

    i ended up using rustoleum gloss black in rattle cans. it cost about $20 and came out better than i could have ever expected. no drips, no stripes.... a little dust, but thats because i did it outside...
