Bringing this thread back from the dead! So long story short, I started a business, the truck sat in my garage because I no longer had the luxury of time, so after a few years, had Tucci Hot Rods make it driveable. They put the drivetrain in, wired it and built the exhaust among other odds and ends.

It's an absolute blast to drive. I was honestly surprised on well it handles for a garage built ride. The engine is super strong and it sounds AMAZING!

I had the inside of the cab painted and designed the bench seat. My buddy Scott at Sew it Seams upholstered the seat.

I'll get more picture maybe tomorrow. These are ones I took at the 2018 Syracuse Nationals.

You should be able to afford paying someone to finish it. You're killing the game with the Relicate leather. Seems like almost every high end build in the country uses Relicate. Nice job!!, on the truck and the business.

How crazy, I was looking at this thread today. Glad to see the truck again, one of my favorite builds!!!

That front fender pic is my new background screen. It came out great! Your vision is spot on to match the amazing work!

What happened with the Tesla gauge cluster? Just curious

That was in the process of being machined and the guy died...so sad...I never pursued finding somebody else to do it.
