Thanks guys! This 2005 only has 13,000 miles on it...

I sold the Formula to a kid from Kemah, Arturo.

I got 19+ MPG on the way home.

I used a PC 7424 with Menzerna and Tropicare products. And I'll be happy to correct anyone else's paint!

Great looking truck and good job on the detail. It's crying out for some new wheels though.

I kind of like the roll pan, don't think I'd put a bumper on it.

love it just as it sits. You could always get a set of the new OEM 20's if you wanted to change it up a bit, but it looks badass.
