Thanks a lot...that's a very nice compliment...we appreciate it.

Assembly assembly...put in the power sliding rear window, and got both doors hung.

Burnout?

Zane M · 12-12-2015, 12:08 AM

I wish I knew how much "you guys make it look so easy" cost. 😬

I'm sure there's at least 2,500 into that truck so far, give or take a few bucks!

Thanks guys...yeah the truck is coming together really fast...the crew knows 67-72 trucks really well.
Our shop rate is $80 and hour...a build of this level definitely gets expensive, but we hope the time of delivery and quality make it worth it in the end.

MetalWorks · 12-18-2015, 01:58 PM

Here we are hanging more of the front sheet metal...the grille is NOS...we were thrilled to find that.

MetalWorks · 12-18-2015, 02:00 PM

More front sheet metal...

Is that tint or smoked glass? And if smoked, where can I get some?

The glass is smoked, and we ordered it through Auto City Classics...I checked their website, and I could not see it, but I verified on our shipping orders that we did get it from them...so you may need to call.

Hope this helps...

Unbelievable, truly the best truck out there. Not too modified but cleaner then anything I've seen.

Getting close to firing up the LSA engine...but first we had to build an air intake.
