Looks great! I can't wait to get a hold of a DA next spring and get all the swirls and scratches out of my truck. It's nice to see another previous model supercrew in good shape! Specially since its red!

B

Bam!


And Hmw, any knowledge of to whether that truck was lowered or not?

hwm3,

Getting pretty handy with the Makita rotary now aren't we? Looks awesome - as your work always does. So, now that you've gone to a rotary, what do you think of the PC? Do you even use it anymore? Remember, I'm teetering on the edge of buying one.

I didn't ask the owner, but I'm sure it is.

Thanks. I think the PC has it's place, and I use it regularly. You can still accomplish quite a bit with a PC, and you'll learn plenty while using it.
