JB,
I am sure Jeff will chime in, but the red fenders are accurate for an Air Force EOD truck. Pretty distinctive dont you think!

Those are some great pictures, guys! For some odd reason I love to see the "before and after" photos, probably because I know how much blood sweat and tears (cash) I'm putting into mine :)

This may be a dumb question but here goes! Red is my favorite color and everything I own is red other than Lori's "M" and I hope to have it back O/D before long. Would not having your fenders painted red in a war zone make you a better target???????????

Maybe it was to confuse the communists into thinking you were partially allied with them! (just kidding)

WOW! My desire is to have Lori's rig looking that good someday, but it's sure going slow! Too many irons in the fire!! That sure is something to be proud of! Thanks for the pictures!
