Heres a few before, during, and after shots of my Mighty Max.. Painted by the crew at Finishline.. Looks awesome IMO, and even though its a DSM, I still had to keep some of my Honda love, and had Manny and the boys paint it Championship White. LMK what you think..Thanks.

BEFORE






DURING





AFTER---YAY!!!!

Wasn't built in Normal so it's not a DSM

Nice truck though, would be fun to have.

center bore needs to be machined, that's all.. They'll be going soon though, I want 18s.

This. People think DSM=Mitsubishi, but that's not true. Nice truck through. Those sons of guns last a long time.
