I'm seeing this as "the" ride of 2011.

I'm hoping that he retains the patina or next best shoots it flat.

I'm hoping he gives it a nice servicable paint job - maybe a 5 footer. I'm SO TIRED of "patina" as an excuse to not apply elbow grease where needed. Gary is a real craftsman and I suspect he'll do a decent paint job to compliment the rest of the workmanship on the truck. But that's just me.......

Have no fear Dan, he plans on painting it. Right now it's strictly budget issues that drives his priorities. I'm sure it'll be all nice and painted some day. But today it's the "Flex Fuel" versus "Octane On Demand" decisions he's making! :-)
