Man Nice work on the truck and the paint!

I bought some similar rock rings from the Mill ;) But they were a little to small so need to find the right size now.

I like it simple yet effective great job, the colors are awsome because they give it that negative photo effect, i had to do a double take to see if they where are not! Love it.
just noticed a lot of brass by the pinnion on the axles, did you use bushings there?
