WOW! That is killer.

thor · 01-18-2012, 12:40 PM

That program is amazing! Those renderings are incredible! Looks like you take a photo and draw on top (in very layman's terms)???

chevytruckluver · 01-18-2012, 02:14 PM

amazing effects with the backgrounds changing

**Bowtie468** · 01-18-2012, 07:49 PM

Dang !!!!!! Thats some sweet work there, Steven !!! I owe you one buddy !

Carter, you definately pulled out all the stops on this version, and it shows, as your work is second to none. Thank you and best of luck on the final release !

I am in awe of those renderings... I would absolutely kill for one of those of my truck, just to see how my hard work is gonna pay off.

**Bowtie468** · 01-22-2012, 10:59 PM

I was able to shorten the punch list a bit these last few days. First off, I got the new steering wheel installed. It's a B.S. Rail and also matches the rolling stock on the truck. Thanks to Boris (way2lo2) at Street Machinery !

Also , got all the windshield trim polished up and installed windshield on truck. All metal work on driver front fender is complete. Thanks to my buds Kevin and Steven for coming over this weekend and getting this done !

VA72C10 · 01-22-2012, 11:04 PM

Awesome work, and sweet renderings! Those are off the chart sweet! I'd love to have one of each of my projects!

**Bowtie468** · 01-23-2012, 11:17 AM

Thanks guys for the kind words . It's really starting to come together and I'm getting more anxious to get this project finished with every part I bolt on ! I'm fixing to put a call in to Dakota Digital for a set of VHX gauges, so I'm anxious to get them installed . Last week they informed me of a 2-3 week lead time on that setup .

Wow that looks great. Is that the original windshield trim? If so what windshield gasket did you use.

Keith, yes it is original trim. I used a Precision gasket and everything fit nicely. But i must say that its a major headache getting these in with the trim. Well worth the effort but no easy task .

**67cheby** · 01-27-2012, 10:39 AM

Beautiful ....as expected !!

bcutt · 01-27-2012, 11:06 AM

Love the truck man!!

denny5625 · 01-27-2012, 11:58 AM

Your truck is beautiful and the attention to detail is off the charts. I'm not sure how I missed this thread but I'm subscibed now!

BACKYARD88 · 01-27-2012, 12:18 PM

KEITH 71 STEP SIDE · 01-28-2012, 11:49 AM

This is the most detailed truck i have seen on this board. Great job looks awsome.Cecilia about 15 min from me in Lafayette. Keep up the awsome work BOWTIE 468.

Absolutely gorgeous truck.

**Bowtie468** · 01-29-2012, 11:48 PM

Thank guys ! I managed to get the radiator support blasted today and covered in epoxy. Should have it finished up by Tuesday and installed the following day along with the radiator. I'm off all week so hopefully i can put a serious dent in some of this body work.

**Bowtie468** · 01-30-2012, 09:07 PM

fixed a slight fuel leak and oil leak. Now she's happy again !
