Yes he sure is! I will be leaving my current location, looking like this monday. Unfortunately, the truck is going to be in Colorado until ~May. We are gonna have it shipped out and my dad is going to fly out for when it will arrive. Should be alot cheaper than having him tow it with his truck and then drag the trailer back. Its roughly 1000 miles door to door for us.

I do like your idea of paint... Hmmmm, maybe if i find one in a junkyard, and feel adventurous I might try spraying it. Thanks for the thought!

The Fesler Billet taillight lenses and rear bumper made it on the truck today!

I really need to get home and get my Intros ordered

Ok, I have a question for you guys that are following this build. I really want to get extreme on the amount of lip that I have in the rear. I know I can narrow my rear end to allow for a smaller backspace. Any thoughts on this?

Thank you sir! I thought they were a little much, but I ran into Fesler at a Goodguys show last summer, and they had a really nice sale going!

Truck looks awesome. Love the color! It's coming together real nice.

Back a few posts, you asked what to do to add pizzazz? Side molding (black to match rest of truck instead of wood grain). Just a thought.
