Yea, I did, but that stuff goes fast although I'm probably going too heavy with it. Practice makes a perfect mess.

HOLY CRAP! That is beautiful! How did you get the guages so nice? And what kind of masking tape do you use to get the nice clean lines? Jim

Jim Hey Jim, I just painted the gauges white and then lightly wiped the paint off revealing the black plastic. The tape was 1/16 masking from Line O Tape and 1/4 Tamiya(yellow). I got both from Hobby Town. The Tamiya tape is nice to work with, it's thin and quite flexible. Les

Looks really good. What are you using for ICC lights, and where did they come from? Or did you make them? I was going to use the round peel and stick ones from Dan, but we all kind of know how that went. So now i am on the lookout for something else.

ICC? I guess you are referring to marker lights. If so, I am using these old school ones I got from Plaskit. KFS sells some really nice oval lights. I am using about 60 side marker lights on the whole truck. Les Plaskit version: available in chrome or plain resin. These are Alclad coated. KFS oval
