Project "Olive-U2"
So guys, I have finally built up the courage to start my own build thread. I'll have to give credit for the name of this build to my dad. He came up with a really good idea for a license plate on this truck once I'm finished. It's been a two year project, and what better way to start this thing off with a bunch of pictures.
We'll start with the teardown. Also, it has been a bit of a challenge, but all of this work has been done, with the exception of the paint job, in a two car garage. Paint for this truck is 504 - Medium Olive, hence the name. |

Re: Project "Olive-U2"
I was able to take vacation this past week so I got my wood bed done. I think it turned out pretty good. It's turning out so nice I'm not going to want to drive it lol.
