I would only dream to have the time or the money to do stuff like this to my 69!

The first picture made me go,"uh".I love the fabrication,but leave the best modern truck body style alone.They got it right.Why do some people want to get one of these,then completely change it?It seldom looks better(never IMO).All that work and the front end track is too narrow,too.Sorry,appreciate it,don`t think I like it.

I think a lot of people have the idea that somehow different=cool... and in some ways it is, but only when the change is also an aesthetic improvement. Many make the mistake of thinking it will be "cool" simply based on the fact that it's different/custom. In reality "different" does not necessarily mean it will actually LOOK BETTER than before. I do all my stuff in photoshop before changing anything. Once I get it they way I like it on screen I go out in the garage...

I don't want to rant or preach, and I have no idea at this point if the changes on this truck look better or not with out a more complete view. But I do see where special-k is coming from.

Let's see some more pics!

I think it is just me, but the first glance at the headlight/grille pix immediately made me think of a '47 Hudson. I'm guessing it's the angle, and I know it isn't a Hudson....just my stroke-damaged brain trying to crawl out from the shadows.

Nice-looking chassis and I like the rounded door corners, too. I'd sure like to see more of the vehicle.

I'm with Friz, I'd like to see some more full views, I'll reserve my opinion until then. The rounded door edges are kinda cool.............Bamm

Post a link w/more info please. Grille looks 69 Camaro-ish.

i think under the hood is too cluttered. love the radius doors though, and the frame.

I got some more pics I will post them later. I have to shrink them all, and i just got windows vista and trying to figure it out.
