Arrow Photogenic '98 F-150 photoshoot!!!

Check it out. I was driving around looking for a good place to make a new sig picture and this field was perhaps the best photo-op background anyone could dream of! I removed some things, added some things. I needed to update my gallery and background for my computer. Taken by a 5-megapixel $200 Sony DSC-S500, only wish I had my 10-megapixel Canon with me. Check them out:

I SEE SWIRLS!!!

In any case, I wish I had an amazing place to take photos... I may go searching for one next time I get the truck cleaned up...

What does everybody think about a dock at the lake ith a bunch of sailboats? (to those in FW, I am talking about Harbor 1 in Eagle Mtn.) If not there, there are some rolling hills over in Eagle Mtn that might get my truck to look pretty... Or possibly I could get on a soccer field for an in-front-of-goal shot (definately with a ball in the pic)...If nothing else, maybe in the FD bays

okay, I am rambling... Nice pics, though. I like the lights behind the billet.

Haha, I don't doubt it. I use Gold Class wax on it after washing it. When I get some basic maint. stuff paid for I'll move into the QD and after-dressing stuff.

I've got them lined up perfectly. Quite a feat as I went under the truck and just guessed where to drill and when I lined up the brackets they were symetric with one another. Going to be a PITA to clean them though. Thanks for the comments.

Yeah, the first few years of it's life my dad never washed it and the infamous Florida love bugs ate away the primer paint stuff and now are starting to rust. One of the reasons I'm getting it PTM soon.

I'm hoping no more than maybe $200. Sand, fill in holes, prime, paint, and CC. I kno a buddy in town. I have a bunch of minor things on my plate at the moment. Prom, a big weekend trip with some friends, new tires, brake pads, fix a mis-fire prob, and still have $400 left to pay off my trannie. Check out the new sig \/ \/ \/

Thanks guys. I decided to do a comparison of before and after.

2003- Dad driving it maybe 4 times a month:



2008- Me driving it, avg 1,000 miles a month:




Shes doing the best shes ever been all her life and it's only getting started!

Looking at my sig I was thinking of moving my 2020's down to the bottom grille and mount some Hella 500FF's up top where my lights are now. Would that be a nice light setup or what?
