Marty... Decals (or should I say vinyl masks) look great!
Final resulting image is awesome and I agree with hatrik8 that this is the way it should have been done on all trucks.

Yep, I couldn't agree more.

Good Morning All,

I just thought I would share with you a couple pictures that Josh Mishler took of the truck when he was visiting the shop.

What did the wife say as you unloaded it and set it into the bed next to you last night? Or did you just crawl up and sleep in the blazer with it since you have already been kicked out to the couch anyways?

O yea, wanna race?

Good job though, keep the updates coming.

But think about it, have you seen me at the strip behind the wheel?

Might just be a fair race. There is a reason Jeremy truck went 11's, mine hasn't been past mid 13's yet and that was about 9 years ago.

I heard he had a spare syclone bed setup in the basement and has his kids practice pushing on it and doesn't plan to ever start the engine itself.

Today must be Jeff picks on Marty day, sorry Marty.
