Project MONSTER
 

Project MONSTER is now finally underway. The first stage is what I call the poor mans customization. I plan on finding a set of stock rims and painting them grabber green. I have already started to sand the paint off and will repaint it flat black. Then I want to use a stencil I made to put monster energy emblems on each door and possibly the tailgate once I get a band for it. Here is what I plan on it looking like (sorry for the crappy rendering all I don't have photoshop so I had to use paint. This may not be updated very much but I will try to continue to keep updates

Re: Project MONSTER
 

So do you work for them or something?

Re: Project MONSTER
 

nope, just me and my buddies live off of the stuff. I drink at least 2 a day and its a thing me do around here. kinda like having a fox emblem sticker on your truck or something like that

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Those rims look awfully familiar.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Ya whos rims did you use in your rendering? They have the USMC symbol on the center if I remeber right.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

yea, I couldn't find a better picture of any green stock rims & I forgot to say I got the pic from ya, my bad. :banghead:

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Any more pictures of that hood? Looks homemade.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

I think it will be cool! I would make the logo bigger like in your rendering! or even a little bigger.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

it is. my brother made it out if 2 hoods. I'll snap some more pics this evening if it's not raining lol

Re: Project MONSTER
 

I was thinking the same thing after I got it sprayed on there

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Lot of overspray on the door but it looks good otherwise. My sister's boyfriend would love it, they both pretty much live off of it too lol.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

The wheels are mine and they do have EGAs on the center caps. I don't care that you used them, whats that saying imitation is the best form of flaterry(sp) or something like that. I was just messing around.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

yea the wind was blowing pretty good that day, it was pretty much a mockup anyway I'm going to make the emblem bigger

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Interesting concept. I will be watching this one. BTW, I can relate to the poor mans thing.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

I'm thinking about going in a slightly different direction and putting a step bed on it. My brother has one that his wife won't let him keep so he's going to give it to me. I don't know how it would look but I like the concept in my head lol.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Well folks, I got the step bed from my brother. Now it's just sitting in my moms backyard waiting till my truck is running again to come put it on.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Maybe I'm just old but I dont get the whole Monster thing!

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Me either. Harley Davidson is another one that I don't get. What the heck do motorcycles have to do with pickup trucks?

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Nice score on the bed! I love this model of stepside. I had a 77 that I still miss.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

great concept and can't wait to see the end product.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Monster huh...... maybe I will make a moonshine inspired truck since I drink it about every other weekend... haha maybe not.... Different strokes for different folks... My advice is to CLEAN what you have up to the best of your ability and make it looks a nice as possible for little money, THEN worry about energy drink logos on the doors.

Re: Project MONSTER
 

As with all my projects I have ever had I am thinking about going another direction. I was thinking of going all black. No chrome, no emblems. What do you guys think?

Re: Project MONSTER
 

ya a moonshine inspired truck I would buy into that one, and I don't even drink!:lol::lol:

Re: Project MONSTER
 

Keep it MONSTER!

Re: Project MONSTER
 

The Monster concept seems cliche. If you're considering going all black, maybe a rat rod inspired look would work for you.
