Thanks everyone, I greatly appreciate it.
I finally got it finish up today. Got it polished up and waxed. I'm heading out in the morning for the Carlisle Truck Nats, so I'll let you know how I did, next week.
I installed some new airbags in the front. The old ones were leaking and I wanted to up the size anyway. But I had a little booboo when I went to buy them. I took out the lower valance on a stupidly high speed bump. Ripped it between the scoops on each side, close to the bumper. Not even a week on the road. I managed to melt it back together without messing up the paint, so it will do until I can pickup a Cervinis, hopefully at Carlisle this weekend. Glad I didn't have the fogs installed yet. There in now and it really completes the the whole package.
I hope to get some good shots this weekend. This one was last night at the local cruise.

You did Not drill into your bumper for that license plate did you

I may be crazy, but I'm not nuts.

No, I bent up a sheet of 1/16" aluminum and slipped it between the bumper and valance. The center bolt in the valance holds it there.
I plan on making a power retractable plate holder. There is a slot in the top edge of the valance, so I will cut the opening there for the plate to come out of.

I forgot to update everyone on the results of the Carlisle All Truck Nats. I got 1st place Radical Ford All Years 2WD. I was shocked when I found out I beat out a '37 Ford ProStreet Blown Hemi pickup.
