The lift came from top gun customz. Rides like a lifted power wagon should. :) oh and I got my estimate for paint and body work. Disassembly starts next weekend. Kinda nervous. Gonna be sweet. Going to TRY and have it completed by end of July.

It's a 20 footer. It however was a one owner never left Alabama until I bought it. And never off road. So has ZERO rust.

Wow got busy... anyway, Disassembly almost complete. All exterior is apart, roll bars out, and bed is off. Repair of the cracked wheel wells will happen wednesday. And all glass coming out Friday. Shooting for next Monday for the paint shop. But I need some help. My truck apparently has had a total repaint sometime in its life and the guy painting it has never painted one. I need some close up pics of someone's power wagon that has not been painted before especially where the black meets the stripes and of the stripes on the hood. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The black out on the bottom is painted above the body line about an inch on most that I seen. From the factory the stripes would never fit perfectly on the body line and painting the black above the body lines makes it not as noticable.

I was guessing about 1/2-3/4" above the body line. How bout the hood stripes? Mine are missing and the guy installing my stripes has no clue how far over. I think they are about 1" from the edge of the hood?
