Haven't been on the site for awhile, but noticed this photo as I was surfing your build.

That looks like Mt. Shasta and the train tracks that run thru the town of Weed California.

Man I wish I had those vehicles in my backyard....!

Here's some better pics of the clips for the side moulding. I couldn't find the big spring clip, but the small one is the same style.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Love your truck... do you have anymore progress on it? I think it was great that you have your own body shop now.... now if the body men can't do superb work, you can FIRE them....LOL...
anyway, keep up the great work and hire Alan to work for your shop....LOL

Re: 198Plus build
 

Thanks, I hope it will....

Thanks

Thanks, Alan

Thanks.......I wished Alan could come to my shop, I'd make him a partner. He would need a (heli copter) for the long trip.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Re: 198Plus build
 

Heck, just tell him to move...I am sure that he could figure something out....LOL. It looks like your shop is putting out some great work.

And Alan as always does great work...it is refreshing to know that there are guys like you all who care about the quality of the work and don't just put out crap and charge guys....

anyway, keep up the great job and thanks for sharing your build with us!

Re: 198Plus build
 

Yeah I love the detailed work you put into your build. I wish I was one state closer so I could bring you my bed to have it done to save me some time on mine.

Re: 198Plus build
 

Aw... just find a buddy or two and put it on a trailer and have a great road trip weekend.... good quality work in a body shop is hard to find.... shoot, most guys probably blow more money on booze in a weekend than it would cost to road trip your bed over to his shop....LOL...LOL....;):metal:

Re: 198Plus build
 

true to that!!! LOL

Re: 198Plus build
 

Yeah, step up and give Alan all your money. :haha:
But you know it will be worth it. :c2:

Re: 198Plus build
 

Anything new Shannon?

Re: 198Plus build
 

i agree...i sometimes hint at dropping mine off to either Alan or Ronnie once I'm ready and can afford paint, body work, or other repairs...and if either is willing to take it on, i won't hesitate when the time comes...i appreciate the quality & detail they put into their work...living in Mississippi most of my life, i know of some quality shops there who could do the work...but i have trouble finding any custom shops here in my area of SC...i'm sure there are some around, but they seem to be harder to find than back in MS....but i honestly feel like i know some people on this site better than I could any shop, simply because we get to follow their builds and see behind the scenes work play-by-play
