Ok so I have been working on this truck for a little bit now, the first day I drove it home I thought I was going to die. For 3 days after that trip I tryed to sell it untill Dat620guy that talk me into not scrapping it LOL. Nothing worked no lights, heater, dash, blinkers nothing.here is the day I bought it

Next I added HID's Because I couldnt see out of the bitch and door mirrors mounted up top with blinkes because when the windows fog up in the winter i wont have to roll the windows all the way down to see

LAtely I've been wanting to see flat/satin red with gloss black accents on a datto.

 

Sorta like this z, but flat red/ gloss black.

 

I've also been digging on Truckula. It is a badass `46 ford truck that is satin black with gloss metalflaked scalops. You can see a ton more pictures of it in the June/July Ol Skool Rodz magazine.

Orange Metal flake not metalic ..... big flakes with flip flop :)

 

Then bury it in clear coat. This will look crazy cool at night under the street lights.
