Re: What do you look at in a truck, rod etc?
To me fit and finish is most important... I have seen alot of awesome cars that you look at and say it is really nice but little details are missing that make or break a vehicle. There is a beautiful high dollar custom 55 chevy I always see with all billet stuff under the hood except it has a set of $20.00 stamped steel valve covers...WHY??? Nothing else on the motor is steel?? Then on the other side of the coin I have seen stuff that everyone thinks why the f would you do that to a car/truck but if you look at it many many hours were spent with some nice fab work but just nasty design.. I feel beauty is in the eye of the guy behind the welder... What attracted me to these trucks were the timeless style! Thats why I preferred to roll with the stock looking exterior with stuff that makes it different but more useable... Thats why I went with power 1 piece windows, Airride and a Tune Port and stuff that makes driving easy and fun.. Thats just me.. I am sure there are many that do not like my rides... THats ok.. I built it for me!
