I got some ideas sketched out for my bench seat and for a custom emblem for the tailgate of the truck. The bench seat will be a combo of black vinyl and gray cloth. My plan is to have the portion with the stitched lines the gray cloth and the rest wrapped in the black vinyl. I sent the idea for the emblem to Billet Badges to see if they can make it for me. What you think?

That should look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!!

the tail gate emblem is different haven't heard of anyone wanting to do that but I'm sure it'll look sick!!

I like the ideas it'll look sick!

What made you chose the theme Platinum, I hadn't ever thought about it and it's really creative!

Back in early 2000 I bought a Ford f250 and they had a platinum edition that I loved with this paint scheme. I've loved it ever since and when I bought this square I knew how I wanted to paint it.

I was wondering if that was the motive behind it, they were definitely a beautiful truck the newer models are not all that. Got to say it's a great paint scheme to have chosen! :metal:

Took the factory grill off yesterday evening to clean and paint it. I'm hoping the paint shop can paint the brown line going down the center of the grille. I need to replace the headlight but it actually still shines bright! lol

lol :lol: Somehow it got water condensation on the inside of the lens. It is actually clean on the outside!

nice!!! kind of makes you wonder how water got on the inside though. But I know the slightest opening can cause it.

Well I ordered some big mirrors for my truck as it has the small sport style mirrors and low and behold, one had the mirror glass broken on it!
:/ Putting them back in the mail tomorrow morning!

I'm not sure if you're interested in it, but I know Autozone has some big mirrors for sale of course there not the metal like our old ones were but they fit good. Just a suggestion

Re: Project Platinum C10
 
Well the company I ordered them from is sending me another set so I should have them by this weekend!

This is the item I purchased. Not a bad deal. The mirrors looked great but the glass was broke on one.

I called DJM Friday and they said that it will take a week or so to ship to me from California. I'll be out of town Friday until Monday so I will do it sometime next week or week end. I would love the help and appreciate your offer!

I'll be home from work in a few hours but I only have 1 week off this time. Then I go back for 3 weeks. Depending on my schedule I wouldn't mind at all if the timing works out
