I was worth the wait and price. In fact I think they are selling them to cheep so I would pick one up as soon as you can. I have a good friend that knows the owners well and he was saying suicide doors maybe going out of buisness. I hope not because this is a very nice product.

I agree on the quality,the front crossmember is flawless regardless of the price & the price is just a bonus.I sure hope they can hold it together it's a damn shame to see businesses like that go by the wayside,god knows it's not because of me!!! or you from the looks of it! If you here anymore news from your buddy p.m. me if you get time. & That green truck is sweet

Only time will tell.

The paint should not be an issue... We built this Willys a few years back with the exhaust coming through the rocker in front of the back fender... Its only a Ramjet 502 but there have been no paint or heat issues to date... Its a glass car too...

I dont think it will be an issue. That is a nice car. Is it glass or metal.

[superflysteiny]

I am stupid sorry did not see that you had stated it was glass. Still a nice car.

Man, what an incredible job you have done. That truck is absolutely sick. As much as I like my rides kind of dirty, looking at this truck kind of make me want to build a super clean ride for once!

[superflysteiny]

Thanks guys I will update you with more pics as soon as I can. I too hope suicidedoors keeps it together. It would be a shame to see them go out of buisness.

After reading through your build thread I have come to some observations. 1) as different and unique as your vision is, its well thought out. 2) Your skills are something most men and women strive to obtain. And 3) Denists make way too much money lol. Although the truck isnt my taste at all, its something to marvel at. Congrats on what you have accomplished, definetely a head turner. Did you form the seat pans to your profile, they dont look like they would be too comfortable to sit in for more then 10 minutes, especially over bumps.

[boonedogs72]

very nice

[superflysteiny]

The seats have pads that my friend and I are making out of saddle leather. We bought two full hides and we built the pads and the dash pad. I will have to get you guys pics the dash pad was stamped with the name second chance and we stamped dice in the center and stiched it with wise thread. Really look cool. Seat were stamed too. Next we stained the leather and then stiched them. They came out great. I will have to get pictures on them. Glad you guys like the truck. More to come I am really getting alot done on my wifes 66 truck. It should be a head turner so I will get some pics up for you guys.

[threeonthetree]

you went all out on this truck
and it looks GREAT. amazzing work.
yeah lets see some more pics of that 66!

Everything looks great, an amazing build. Just wondering if you were going to keep the original style window and door crank handles or go with something else that matches the theme.

And I for one would love to hear what this monster sounds like. Time for a burnout video.

[superflysteiny]

Thats a great question. I want to put aftermarket cranks but they dont want to fit the stock post. I had billet specialties cranks in it and they fit like crap. So I went with the stock ones.

I have an idea. How about aftermarket power windows and door latches? You can use some retro aviation style toggles to run 'em.
