I need to go out to the garage and look at a truck to see how those will fit.

**Gregski** · 05-31-2021, 10:44 AM

I just love this pic wish the photo turned out better with the back lit background but oh well,

guys and gals take pics of your rigs, take pics of your projects, it will be fun to look back years later and go, oh man I did all that

**8man** · 05-31-2021, 01:01 PM

Congratulations! I really like how the license plate is tucked back in there, the front looks really good.

layinrocker65 · 05-31-2021, 04:17 PM

You know that's exactly why I didn't stick four more spikes horizontally across the front of the hood were the large emblem was cause I don't want anybody getting cancer in this hyper sensitive state!

I agree that is could actually use a couple more spikes to even out the look.

I think that of you put that four letter F word on that truck it will give you cancer.... in the testicles.

I hear you, four spikes!, that's just excessive, I get my inspiration from nature you know, so two horns it is!

**mongocanfly** · 06-01-2021, 12:35 PM

Haha...wont have to worry bout somebody sitting on your hood...well at least in the middle of it anyway..
Always makes me wonder what people were thinking with those huge spike lug nuts...if I had those on my truck my knees would look like a bulldog been gnawing on them..

texxxan · 06-02-2021, 05:58 AM

Busty Spike is coming right along and looking great. Love the spikes and the door panels. Everything about Busty is awesome. Texas definitely approves and appreciates.

Those will look good right above the front license plate.

GreasyLikeaBurger · 06-06-2021, 12:14 PM

I saw this image on the interwebs and thought it would make a good hood ornament instead of the plane.

That is 1,000% Rad !!! and I think the starter kit comes with matching window cranks, ha ha

**Gregski** · 06-06-2021, 12:38 PM

so I am in kitchen cabinet stripping, sanding, priming, painting hell

... and so tempted to use that braided wire wheel, ha ha

**Wgesnerjr** · 06-06-2021, 03:35 PM

I feel your pain. I'm in round 2 of bathroom remodel. Last one completed 2 weeks ago. How can such a small room hold that much work!

I have learned that drywall will not be my second career!

ha ha, no thanks, you win bro, we did my mums 5x8'bathroom in a prior life time and I still have nightmares about the cast iron tub removal

**Wgesnerjr** · 06-08-2021, 11:12 PM

I aspire for cast iron. My tub/shower was fiberglass over corrugated cardboard!

Also, the hot/cold copper pipes for the vanity were run OUTSIDE the studs! Ugh!

**Gregski** · 06-10-2021, 09:37 AM

so a little seat update: I dropped them off three weeks ago and was told they will be done in a couple of weeks, well I gave the guy an extra week and yesterday I figure I'll text him and check in on the status, not nagging just checking, the last thing I want is for them to be done and just sitting there waiting on me to pick them up, know what I mean folks?

as of this writing he still has not replied to my text.... Great!

**8man** · 06-10-2021, 09:39 AM

I picked my seats up yesterday. I dropped them off January 2020. I hope you do better!

**Gregski** · 06-18-2021, 02:14 PM

Four Week no seats Update... we have graduated to not answering the phone and me leaving voice mail messages !!! Great
