It's DEI Reflect-a-Gold. Amazon has it for about $31 for a 12"x24" sheet

Nice update... watched this project come together back in the day. Very nice work. Headers still amaze me... but when there is a will there is a way. The GENIII motor looks like it belongs in that chassis...

It took some digging for me to find this post today for someone of facebook. No sooner then I found the post, he starts updating it. Too funny.

As much of a S-10 lunatic as I am, this truck has to be one of my all time favorites.
