Re: Too Much!!

Is it me or does the frame look out of whack??? It looks like the front and rear of the truck are all running down to the middle?? I don't really like it,but to each his own.

Re: Too Much!!

The color is nice. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I think the chop-top on our trucks looks jankey! IMO "chops" would look way better if they sectioned the body as well......so everything stays in relative proportion, just shorter! Hmmmm- anybody got a rusted out POS they'd like to donate to some "science"?
Back to the post- with such a high reserve looks like this bloke is trying to recoup the money he invested in his truck.....which as we all know generally never happens. Good luck to the guy, but I prefer the resto-rod / g-machine look over the full on Pro-Street.

My $.02

Re: Too Much!!

A waste of what was probably a decent small window cab, and it's not even legal to race on top of it.

Thumbs down Re: Too Much!!

Another truck that the owner has worked hard on, spent who knows how much (?) and will have a hard time selling because IMHO it is tooooooo over done.

esll.

This is a good example where less would be more!

Re: Too Much!!

I think one problem when selling such a highly customized vehicle, is that it's an expression of the builder's taste, not necessarily a potential buyers. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was bought, torn back down, and modified to fit the new owners personal style.
