We custom built the hood hinges for that exact reason.

Will those hinges be available through your shop? Or is it strictly a one off deal?

mknittle · 10-19-2011, 11:44 PM

I don't think I could own something that nice! if somebody got too close I'd have a heart attack.

BShort · 10-20-2011, 11:58 AM

Awesome build, I love all the small details that make you stare at the truck until you figure out what was done.

Ironworks · 10-20-2011, 07:36 PM

Thanks guys. The details list is long on this one.

Pop's C-10 · 10-20-2011, 07:52 PM

A beauty

mknittle · 10-27-2011, 07:52 PM

I did machine work for 20 years, sometimes you get some wild optical illusions. some times they look deep but you can't even feel them.

OKGMC4 · 10-27-2011, 09:08 PM

I see a 55/ 56 pickup in the background...but I am guessing it's not going to be as insane as the black 57? The 48 is more than awesome by the way. Maybe I'll get the patience for this level someday. The things I seem to look past on mine are really just a matter of a "oh well, it's just going to be a driver, I want it done now" attitude.

The truck in the back ground is a project at the painters shop where we have been handling reassembly.

Late last night the truck was picked up from Ron Mangus and hauled back to the bat cave to install the final details on the truck. Here is a sneek peak at how it is shaping up. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but something is better then nothing.

Is that the chrome plated brass on the door panels...................at $20.00 inch !!!
Nice touch Ron does some VERY nice work

wickid demon · 11-07-2011, 03:03 PM

Did y'all get the truck to SEMA? I’m super anxious to see finished product pics. Keep pushing the envelope guys. And one more question would you proffer to build the tube chassis or a box frame chassis? Just curious because the tube frame chassis was awesome.

mknittle · 10-28-2011, 11:08 AM

Ron Mangus Is my hero, Every time I see their work I go and practice sewing!

**youngrodder** · 10-28-2011, 12:12 PM

Looking better all of the time. Please show us A LOT of interior pics when it is finished. I still need to do my interior and seeing how a pro did it will help.

Nice work
Marc

not2oldchevy · 10-30-2011, 05:05 PM

Super slick truck!!! Can you tell me what front suspension you are using? Thanks

duwem · 10-31-2011, 09:58 AM

Is that the radio sticking out under the front of the seat? What else do You have stashed under there, seems like a good place to put stuff you dont want to see.

Barney Rubble · 11-08-2011, 06:49 PM

beautiful job, thanks for taking the time to document this build, and to answer the myriad of questions.
Could we please have some more interior pics?
