Man I love this truck! I'm restoring my '66 also and only hope that I can achieve this amount of detail on it. Wow! Great work.

Are you kidding? These are the kind of threads we have to lean on for inspiration for our own builds.

Thanks, I'm glad we have this forum for sharing our builds! Though my own truck would be finished by now if I didn't get sidetracked by all of the "inspiration" on here that's made me change directions on the build.

That is so totally me too !!
I have an entire folder full of pirated photos labeled either by the mod, or by the thread they came from so I can go back and read the "how to" again.

If a thread is updated, I will read it.... case in point !

Thanks dudes! That's a good idea McMurphy, all the pics I've saved are jumbled up and it takes forever to sort through them.

theastronaut · 12-31-2012, 05:51 PM

***Pic links are all fixed and linked to photobucket now so they shouldn't disappear anymore.***

FetchMeAPepsi · 01-03-2013, 09:07 PM

Fantastic work! I bookmarked this beauty.

It's now one of my go-back-and-re-read every few months rotation. Thanks for all of the details that often get overlooked in the translation from in-shop to in-forum!

88Lt1wagon · 01-04-2013, 01:05 PM

Wow, truly outstanding build, you are blessed

Ericluther · 02-26-2013, 09:16 PM

One of these days Ill build a truck to this quality. I work in a body shop and we restore cars as well as do over-alls and insurance work. The know how and skill isnt the problem. Its the massive cost involved haha!

malo66 · 09-12-2013, 09:28 PM

That is truly amazing work. Great job! Congrats!

Delmo · 09-12-2013, 10:25 PM
