Really digging the paint scheme! And also love the full size k5 lol .. side note did the kit come with the paint mask for the 2 tone or is that something you fashioned up?

Thanks. The 2 tone is just something I came up with after looking at a bunch of pictures of K5's. Seems there are 2 different ways that Chevy did it. One like mine and one with a chrome trim around it. Also there are 2 different ways of where they put the top of the stripe. Mine and one higher at the next body line up. I did it this way as I wanted more red above the line.
I used some pin stripe tape to make the like and then masked off the area for paint. I did the Burgundy first, then the complete inside with the Charcoal so that it would darken up the burgundy a little. usually you do the dark color first, then the light color.

Body and paint came out great! Did you ever narrow the axles or buy smaller tires such as proline tsl or pitbull rock beast? If you narrow axles and don't like it, the replacement housings are cheap.
