This is a very cool truck. I was watching it over at KB. Keep up the good work. My suggestion is to mount those headlights as close in to the body as possible. Do you have bullet shaped buckets for them?
 
BK,
That truck is super cool. Keep posting those pics.

O-yeah.......I didn't see no bleed on your hands....

Just kiddin with ya..Truck really does look good

If you're not going to paint it, I would suggest a bright shade of blue.
(Mainly cause I ain't crazy bout green)
OR, you could just let it ride the way it is...
