I REALLY like it. I think the only thing that could mess it up now is the WRONG paint job. I just cant get over the chop... it came out WAY better then I would have thought. Almost cant tell at first sight.

Subtlety is the key

dv8customs · 09-10-2010, 10:17 PM

Thanks guys. I am still undecided on the paint, just cant make up my mind.

3r!c84 · 09-10-2010, 10:29 PM

yes but now about the paint. go crazy or hold back... hmmm hard pick

dv8customs · 09-10-2010, 10:31 PM

Paint won't be anything wild. Maybe a two tone but thats about as crazy as I am planning.

Old school Peachy Orange with a Creamy Vanilla type secondary color. Split it like a 50s Vette.

BTW: the truck looks so complete even just like that. Those wheels are awesome! They really look good with your truck.

Very snappy with those wheels added!!

Nice job.

Thanks again guys! Ratty, I hope the chop came out to your liking

When we sprayed the black, the letters on my tailgate practically dissapeared. So my buddy stripped them out for me. I think it came out real nice. Not the best pic but it's tricky at night...

dont get me wrong your truck is awesome im not bashing but isnt that the wrong rear bumper for your year?once again your truck is awesome!!!just an observation thats a 73-80 rear bumper isnt it?

Ya know .... I was going to mention something of that nature. I think that THIS chop was full tilt for a few reasons & I dug it because of it ....

1. You didn't lay the windscreen back with a crazy angle. 2. You actually fit the doors to the chop & that made the sides very proportionate to the angle. 3. The wheel choice was right on & the last thing that I think made the chop was the front wheel well work.

Nice job .... even with the chop top!!

dv8customs · 09-11-2010, 12:17 AM

Thanks, if I had not been so far along in the build when I decided to chop it I would have taken a couple inches out of the bed to get the proportions right on the money.

ratty 46 · 09-11-2010, 12:24 AM

I think you hit the number with what you did. I've see a lot of square trucks chopped & most ruin the cab because of proportions & not tending to other details. They just try the chop.

You've tied a lot into the vehicle with the doors, lowered wells & not to much chop angle.

Try the "extras" on the next one.

Very good job.

Awesome Project

begining87 · 09-18-2010, 01:57 PM

Man what an awesome truck. Truly a masterpiece! Are you sure we can't talk you into ventless door

glass?

dv8customs · 09-18-2010, 03:30 PM

They would have to be special made to accomodate my chop and that means they are too pricy for me.

dv8customs · 09-24-2010, 08:05 PM

Decided to skin the inside of the fenders to clean things up a bit. I threw this together real quick jsut to get an idea of how it will look.

I know i am going to get bashed for asking this because the hood mod is really awesome<><, but here I go. Can you share a little more about the inner cab covers you made. I like them. (there is a suprise what is it I dont like about your truck) Did you cut the factory fenders and bolt them back in? Did you work you mad skills and make one offs? I have just started this on mine and the out come does not look the same. I think it is because I have modified the facory inner fenders at the cab. I have the trailer fenders cut for the top. How ever I was wondering does your inner fender mod go all the way to the trailer fenders? Thanks... tee:

And I should be picking up one of these tomorrow
