Sorry buddy. Urban camo was the closest I could get it... Some reason artic camo colors would wash out everything else.

Yeah, I tried doing something with the shadows, but it'll take someone with more skill thank me...

Actually... That gave me an idea. Round 2!

You know what I have the strangest urge to do? I wanna run over one of those lowriders that hops around. That just pisses me off for some reason... Idiots...

I say Olive drab or flat khaki but whatever floats your boat.

Whats the deal with the orange lights on the bumper. Are they like fog lights or just extra turn signals.

They're just fog lights I took off the push bumper that I couldn't reuse.

So I got my powersteering working. Jerry rigged like a mofo. Didn't have to buy that $200 idler bracket and pulley after all. Just bought a 51" narrow v-belt from napa and routed from ps pump to ac compressor to tensioner to crank. Works like a charm.
