Your truck is beatiful, That is almost exactly how I want mine to look when it is done. What kind of drop did you use?

not trying to nitpick but looks like the read driver's side of hood is misaligned.

Yeah, its misaligned. The gap widens from left to right, and the back of the hood is sticking up a little too. Needs a little attention.

Thanks everybody!

So, what does your Dad think now? Very nice truck, my son (junior in high school) is starting his build or should I say I'm starting the build and your truck will help him understand it doesn't happen overnight.

Dad really likes it now. He wants to drive it but I think Im going to hold off on that. Ive been hassling him to get his Caddy insured over the last several months so I can take it out. Once he gets insurance then we'll talk

Yeah, definitely not an overnight transformation, more like every bit of $$ I made and 5 years of my time, BUT worth it.

i like your truck you did a great job on it...how's the partical board with the sub and amp treating you? are you having any problems with the board and carpet seperating? i want to do something similar with carpet because it looks really good. i'd put 2 10's or 2 12's and mount the amp inbetween probably. but your truck looks sick

pat · 09-11-2007, 06:23 PM

Thanks again everybody!

Dova, so far no issues with it separating. I used some spray adhesive on both sides, let it tack, and rubbed it in really good.

Nice job, and good for you for jumping in and learing to do as much as possible yourself.
