    Some of those f150 nascar style wheels would look awesome on there.

    I wonder how this would look on the Bronco... id cut the sides at a angle though to give it more offroad look and maybe add a light bar or something

    Take the time an focus on being proud of what ya do, an the clean engine bay will come..

    Spend the extra time hitting the firewall with some sand paper and fresh paint.

    Wire wheel the frame rails and lay fresh black down on there too..

    Heated pressure washer works wonders..

    Do it
    That's something a lot of people would probably notice something different but probably couldn't figure out what

    Little different area, but painting my frame made a world of difference on the looks of my truck. Just a simple thing cleaned it up a ton with a 2.50 can of spray paint. So I second the cleaning up your engine bay idea. :peace:

    On our little grudge car, painting the whole frame and undercarriage makes a big difference on a clean looking body.

    Sweet truck, she looking good. Good advice too.

    I could definetly use a heated pressure washer on mine. I have clay caked on from this past summer. I use Amsoil HDMP on the frame to help protect it from the salt and keep it looking good.
