That is a real good one Chris. I like this one myself, of course I am a bit prejudice because of the photographer.

**Bowtie468** · 11-15-2014, 02:50 PM

Thanks Bill !

Here's a few more shots from the event .

Fuel fill door- 67 'Vette

**Bowtie468** · 11-15-2014, 02:55 PM

Late night stop ... Somewhere !

That pic reminded me I've got to do a color change on that licence plate .

kyuss · 11-15-2014, 04:06 PM

Good god that is a beautiful truck! Very nicely done!

Brannon yazell · 11-15-2014, 09:35 PM

Beautiful truck, I love it.

**Bowtie468** · 11-25-2014, 12:17 AM

Thanks guys, I'm enjoying it ! With winter here , I'm taking the downtime to make a few changes and a few upgrades . First thing that had to go was the Detroit Locker in the rear . When I bought the unit many years ago , the truck was being built as more of a weekend warrior thing . Those of you that have run them know exactly what I'm talking about . They're great, tough units . But extremely aggresive and they don't ever let you forget they're back there ! The ratchet noise was driving me nuts . I want it nice and quiet so it's getting replaced with a Trac Loc unit .

Also on the list is new kick panels in leather to match the seat . New radiator cover, Porterbuilt hood hinges and Hills inner fenders .

Yep !

Still not sure which direction I'll take to get the truck even lower , but regardless, these PB hinges along with the Hills inner fenders are a necessary part of the equation . I'll get those two done first while I figure out the rest .

Lol it's like a sickness Chris, you just got to keep going until you hit the ground

smbrouss70 · 12-02-2014, 07:19 PM

Chris, I just re-read your whole build thread. I'm one of the lucky ones that gets to see it fairly often, but I still forget exactly how much detail you have gone through in order to get it where it is now. It is definitely deserving of the TOTM, and you know I will vote for it in the TOTY poll which should be coming up soon.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-02-2014, 09:26 PM

It looks amazing! I really like the vette filler door. Beautiful truck!

sduckworth13 · 12-03-2014, 12:44 AM

Wow!! I've never checked out your build and this was the first time. I was very surprise to see what a awesome truck you have built. Great work!

**superflysteiny** · 12-03-2014, 06:28 PM

Looks amazing

Orangetonicclicc · 12-03-2014, 10:34 PM

TOTY hands down!
