This will be one short story as I didn't take as many pictures as I had wanted. I picked this up from local member Spacebaby as a Sky Shark. I don't have any pics but this thing was ugly. The sides were covered in woodgrain like a steroid boosting Frogger. Anyways on to the before pics :

Part II :
Instead of bondo and matching paint and finishes i went the lazy way, laminate. Ended up taking three sheets of vertical grade to do the sides and kick plate area and now looks flawless (not sure why the picks below look so strange but it looks great in person). I sanded and sprayed the inside of the cab for a nice finish. Got the Art package from Darin at Phoenix and went to town, I ended up putting the sideart on a little crooked but its hard to tell.Got the coin door and all brackets including the control panel powder coated for a nice new finish. And to stop rambling the results speak for themselves I think :

This UDOT is hiding what I think an awesome secret, more details on that later! :D

First of all, nice pickup on a solid cab. The laminate idea is a smart thing to do...quick, easy, and solid. I was going to comment on the side art...before you did. However, you made up for it on your inner side...that stuff is tough to do. Overall, great looking cab! Can't wait to hear about the DOT...got a S&T hiding in there?

Yea I didn't actually notice the sideart until I took a picture of it today :( As far as the DOT theres a few more things in there besides the S&T :D
 
Holy crap, what the Hell is that? I see a ballast in there...don't tell me you've got a chase lights mod in there? :eek: It's the last thing I could see adding in there...except maybe a pair of suspended speakers to try to add surround sound.

No chase lights because I didn't want to hack the cab but its everything else from a factory cut EDOT ;)
 
So what else is there? The ballast would be for the lower, foot light? And rear speakers? I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

BTW...Darin's BL housings are awesome, aren't they! Everyone splurges for the art, but falls short by not replacing the two light covers. They seriously light it all up!
