Thank you!

The body was sent off to CMDESIGNS for paint.

Looking to have a midnight rear end with all the bars painted silver. From the front of the bed to a portion of the cab the paint will be orange, followed by a checker effect running up at a 45* or so from one door back down to the other. The front will be white.

Something like that lol.

Since A-Main had 20% off of $50 purchases today I had to order some misc parts.

Graphite Transmission Brace
Factory Team Unobtainium Shock Shaft Front and Rears
ProTek R/C 4-40 x 1" "High Strength" Flat Head Screws - this will be for the shocks, going to put blue washers on everything I can. Looks much better than the blue screws and you don't have to baby them.
Blue Countersunk Washers
0° Rear Hubs (white) - Black nylon is throwing off my white truck.

And some other misc stuff.

I think that a graphite tranny brace would look really nice on your truck :wink:

Thanks, me too!

I'll be mounting it with blue washers and flat screws. It should look very nice.

Ok, got the graphite in and blue washers for the shocks. I need to order flat screws for the brace so I can use the blue washers... sigh.

These will go in at some point. Feeling lazy.
