As I said already, I have closed the website that hosted the video since I have a new one (site). I will be re-posting the link once I upload it to the new site. I have been busy though so it won't be until this weekend some time.

Sorry about the down-time guys.

Thanks for the help, did mine last week and love it, looks great against the silver. BTW I did mine with gloss black, think it looks better than the flat black. Glad I got it before the video was closed

I can't decide whether to do mine Black or Blue Streak like the truck. DANG IT! I need the video man! Hurry!

I have a local copy on my PC that I can upload to youtube..... but I don't want to do it unless you give me the since you created the video. Let me know...... I'm waiting for warmer weather with less rain to do mine.....

I agree, as much as I like the Blue Streak That may be just a little much, go wtih the matte black it s kind of the best of both (gloss and flat)

Well, TundraHQ contacted me about producing a few videos for them to host exclusively. So you will still be able to watch it for free and everything, but it will be through their site. I will still upload the current one onto my new site (today probably), but there will be a new one with audio overdubs and it will be exclusive to TundraHQ.

YouTube has a 10-minute limit on videos, and even if there wasn't a time limit there is a size limit, which my video WELL exceeds. If you want to put it up though you definitely have my permission as I just don't have time to mess with it any time soon other than uploading the current video to my new server and updating the link on my original post.

Again, sorry about the delay but I'm so strapped for time its unbelievable.

The video link has been changed: right-click > save-as.

Enjoy

Man, I want to do this so bad on my Black DC...I'm skeered though. I am such a perfectionist and I am worried I'll screw it up. Might have to take the plunge.

I replied in 5.7's thread to your comment but I'll say the basic thing again:

It's really easy, just follow the video and instructions that I have provided and you will be fine. I'm a perfectionist too man, trust me I know, haha. Just make sure that your oven is actually heating at the temperature that the knob/display says it is. Use a baking thermometor if you have to.
