So cool! How'd you do the pink/purple pin stripe that divides the white from the silver?

With great difficulty, Will. ? Seriously though it was the one thing on truck that gave me the most grief.

I first sprayed the whole truck with the silver, then airbrushed the magenta on there the strip would be. 

Then I layed down the strip with 1/64" fine line masking tape and resprayed the silver. Then I masked off everything else that wasn't supposed to be white and sprayed that.

Should have been easy but I had to go back and re-mask and respray everything a few times to get it 1/2 decent. 

I do have a few things I'd do different next time though.

Nice! Thanks for telling me!

Not perfect but I think it turned out pretty good for a rebuilt junker.

cool build you have here.

this gives me a little inspiration to try build more of these old 90s amt kits in a custom style like this one

Looks like a period correct ‘90’s custom.

The engine swap was a nice surprise-made the build even better

Really cool truck Steve. Great stance! Paint sounds like it would have been a challenge for sure, it turned out beautifully.

Cheers, Steve

Looks like it's straight out of the pages of Sport Truck, circa 1993.

My brother's 1:1 had a similar burgundy interior.

...dang near! Nice looking rig. Takes me right back a few decades, thumbing through those magazines  and dreaming of the possibilities.

Right out of the late 80'S early nineties vibe!!, i can hear Vanila Ice blasting out of the stereo as your cruising main street!?

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all the nice comments on my little truck. ??
