no pin stipes on the sides. working on the laredo emblems for the side rears, nice catch on the old V-8 emblems. i think they look good their.

I hate naming anything based on its color, but I'll be darned if that rig doesn't look like "BlackJack" to me.

[HOOT]

That roof rack is beautiful !!! ;)

That Chero turned out very nice.
Good work :thumbsup:

[waynestiles]

2x on "Black Beauty" may be a bit mundane/overdone, but it was the very first title that popped into my mind--and though I've looked at the pics half a dozen times I haven't come up with anything more fitting.

[fulsizjeep]

Considering the heartache you had with the body shop, that thing look fantastic! :thumbsup: The cheese grater vintage V8 emblem placement is a nice touch. :thumbsup: I got a set of those for Krista's Wag years ago but never could decide on where they should go.

Since you got your first chip, go play in it and get it dirty. That much shine is hard on the eyes after a while. Brain too prolly... ;)
