The hood is too white trash mullet for my liking , the SS emblem looks out of place and the soft top is just ludacris. Too chopped up for my liking, a real reservation racer

my new 72 · 01-07-2003, 12:45 PM

GHETTO RIDE. Some people have no taste.

jay-dawg · 01-07-2003, 02:09 PM

wings are for planes....I'm not a purist but thats pure fugly.....and that's all I have to say about that. If you wanted a camaro/superbee, get a car.

Hotrod70C10 · 01-07-2003, 02:43 PM

What a waste.... The only funny thing is the owner probably thinks it's the coolest truck ever.

still w.i.p '68 · 01-07-2003, 02:57 PM

not my style, the SS emblem is kinda cool,
and the paint work looks nice, although I don't like red,
as for the rest " to each his own "
it probably has a 9 under the seat, and goverment cheese in the bed..LOL

O'l Buck · 01-07-2003, 02:58 PM

I personally wouldn't own it, but someone spent alot of time on it to get it to look that way, and like I always say, to each his own.

While its not really to my taste, I do have to admire the craftmanship & attention to detail. a custom is in the eye of the beholder

greg72 · 01-07-2003, 03:41 PM

Although I am not a fan of this specific truck, I do admire the atention to detail and the ability to stick with a vision of a project

Iron-Butt · 01-07-2003, 04:46 PM

I wish I could post a finished picture of mine.

**68 Stepside** · 01-07-2003, 05:14 PM

I hated those hood "grilles" on my 85 Z.....they look even worse on that truck....but you do have to respect all the work that was put into it.

67cst · 01-07-2003, 08:00 PM

not my taste either, but hooter i dont think it is chopped, maybe im wrong....????!!!!!??????

MandarinSixSeven · 01-07-2003, 08:19 PM

i wanna see a side shot with the top off...always wondered what a convertable stepside would look like

weasel29gm · 01-07-2003, 08:48 PM

Kinda of cool in a way they put alot of work in it. I know a guy with a convertable Ranger GT looks cool. As far as the hood Ilike something different, I bet hes got less in that than a cowl hood, same effect a cowl wasn't factory. I had a set of the black and chrome hood '' Valve Covers'' off a 69 Nova SS that was goin' on my hood but sold them. No worse than a hood scoop on one. IMHO.

>X< · 01-07-2003, 11:46 PM

the ss on grill is pretty cool, but i like no emblem on 67-68's better. as far as the top, bed, and hood-to each his own. i like the color though, and its a short step. just say no to convertable trucks

GloryHound · 01-08-2003, 11:46 PM

If I saw this truck at a show I would have to approach the owner and compliment he and any help he had with the craftsman ship that went into the truck. Now if asked how much I was willing to pay for well I don't see my hat in that truck so I would probably offer less two grand just becouse that is all it would be worth to me! But as I said the craftsmanship has me in awh.

PICKMUP · 01-09-2003, 12:09 AM

Ha Ha-You guys are a "Tough Crowd". I'm not showing you any of my junk!

*Shane* · 01-09-2003, 12:17 AM

different? YES ... Innovative? No ... innovative would be doing something to enhance the truck ... not try and make it into an IROC Camaro ... I will admit that the body work and paint looks nice ... but all the "bolt-on" doo-dads ruin the lines of the truck.

Just my .02 cents worth ....
