project midnight

Cool! It's nice to hear about a father/son project. Good to hear people are still teaching their kids how to use their hands for craftsmanship, not gaming. As for the wheels, I really dig them. I've been hoarding the old straight bolt pattern slotted mags for a while, and I polished one up to look like chrome. It took me about 4-5 hours, and that was taking it from a machined finish. Starting with one that is already smooth would take a lot less time. I have some pics if you want to see it, but I'm not gonna hijack your thread. Good job on the truck!

Awesome project for you and your son. Enjoy it!

Paint the grille a dark grey color. I think it'll compliment the darker color really well.

good idea Im going to get it powdercoated I was thinking bright silver to make it look like alumium but a charcoal like bullit wheels sounds cool too
what about the bumper?

That dark color would look cool on the bumpers as well, and help carry the theme over a bit more. I'm not a big chrome fan, so I'd do the shiny bits in something other than chrome.
