Re: what are your thoughts on this truck?

Looks great!

For some reason I can never see myself buying a finished truck. Call it pride, or call it cheap. Either way, I just can't see myself doing it.

Guess if I had stupid money, I would just send a box 'o parts to Porterbuilt Streetrods with a build list and pick it up in a year. But at least then it would still be "my" style rather than someone elses.

I think it looks pretty sharp. But it's already finished and look at that price tag

Re: what are your thoughts on this truck?

I think it's a pretty bad a$$ truck, I'd love to own it, alot of these types of trucks, (highly customized) are selling for less then what it would cost to build one exactly like it. I unfortunately am a computer guy, & have been for about 15 years, I don't have a shop, I don't have all the necessary tools to build a truck, but I would love to, I just don't have the space/tools/years of knowledge to do it, I bought mine totally done, I love it! I looked around for one that was built the way i would have wanted to do it, & I bought it for less then half of what all the receipts that came with it add up to. There's nothing wrong with buying a truck or car that somebody else built, if that was a sin, people like Boyd Cottington would be broke & wouldn't be world renowned for building beautiful Hot Rods.
