Nice Nick...how about some action videos of a drive by? School, wedding, Walmart...any location will do...really cool

Nick...I would already be locked up...I would let the horn ripping the parking deck...oh let's say about 8am...

I notice you were holding the camera down...lol

Well nothing to do with my truck but I wanted to show off my awesome new lineman pliers.

Camo grips with black oxide finish and Support Our Troops etched in. This is an electricians most used tool. So this is my new best friend at work!

Nick, were you able to get the wrap done?

 

[NickPic83]

yes sir just finished it actually not too long ago. i took a couple hour break after i layed the main stuff down to spend with my kids then i got back on it and finished the stripes too. it was a bit of a b*itch but its done. the hood is pretty tough. i think the cut oust lettering is really what made it hard.

i have a few small bubbles i cant get out but from what others have told me they should work themselves out with a few sunny days. if not ill pop them with my exacto knife then heat them and work em out.

Thanks to Fred he gave me some info and support on this.

Also a thanks to Designs N Signs for a quality custom product

truck is filthy, SORRY for dirty pics. i only spot cleaned where the work was being done

Bedside i went for a very simple look. i wanted something nice but not something that would draw all your attention to it and not the truck. Matte Black "RAPTOR" w/ Metallic Blue "SVT"





Hood Vinyl is Matte Black with the torn in "RAPTOR" and the "SVT" in Metallic Blue. then i did Metallic Blue pinstripes. also did the "Fred Mod" with Matte Black and Metallic Blue pin stripes. some pics are before cleaning vinyl, others are after some spray detailer. Adams spray detailer makes these look awesome! Also did the FORD grille. Matte Black w/ Metallic Blue outline.

That came out great! Like what ya did with the blue to break it up. I have something in mind, have to give Designs n Signs a call.

 

[NickPic83]

thanks Fletch. yeah i wanted to add a little color and i love the way the blue looks. in the sun it really pops!

Nick...the wrap looks great...I really like the blue pinstripe...perfect fit...the blue is a great idea...like the "Raptor SVT" on the hood and the metallic blue is a great idea...goes well with the grill letters too...really works great together...

The bubbles should work themselves out...not that I can even see any at all...

Great job Nick...the bottom piece looks great...

Cheers bud...
