Re: How should I rock my ride?
So do you get to tell them what you want or is it like an OverHaulin thing?

Re: How should I rock my ride?
They are targeting 6-7 weeks, but that seems to be very aggressive. They will be working on it after shop hours at an undisclosed location, so won't be able to get progress pictures. They are going to get some ideas from me and then there will be an unveiling later...

Re: How should I rock my ride?
It s sort of like Overhaulin' where they get some input and then take the ball and run with it. They have spent a lot of time researching these trucks in the last couple of weeks and they have their own ideas. I gave them my ideas (prioritized in spreadsheet format) and the manager said that it was uncanny at how close our concepts were. What a relief that was to hear...

Re: How should I rock my ride?
good to hear they're thinking along the same lines as you. i don't know if i could live with myself knowing someone was doing a ton of work to my truck and not letting me see it until it's done.

Re: How should I rock my ride?
Can't wait to see the result. Should be "fun". Hopefully they won't dork something up that isn't too hard to change back. At least it sounds like you are all on the same page....or at least in the same book

Re: How should I rock my ride?
Hey, cant complain to much any free improvements are still free. Then what money you were going to have to spend on it can be used to alter it more to your taste once the hard stuff is complete. IF its not 100% to you liking when you get it back. Personally I think its awesome you don't get to see it. I think it would just slow down the process and you would actually get less done if you were chiming in on every little thing. Again, congrats! I can't wait until we see the unveiling!

Me neither. I am taking the turnaround time with a grain of salt, but realistically if I get the truck back this year, it will exceed my expectations. I have a few buddies with shops and I know that they couldn't pull off a schedule like that. One thing worth mentioning is that the shop seems to have a good sized staff and if Overhaulin'can do it it 7 days... ![]() Quote:
