Dudley50 · 10-14-2010, 09:11 PM

WOW, it's been toooo long since I've been on here. Really impressed with the work you guys have done to this truck. It just goes to show that a little ingenuity and imagination can do just as much, if not more than tons of cash. Very very impressive.

*nbpro* · 10-15-2010, 04:14 PM

thanks man

68Timber · 10-15-2010, 07:53 PM

*nbpro* · 10-16-2010, 06:19 PM

Had the whole crew over today, worked them like dogs. lol. The little short one is the one that helped get the wheels for the truck and has contributed quite a bit of labor as well. that is the reason that her name is going on the back window.

I would but it looks stupid without them,we are going to get another bumper, since that one has a lot of dents in it, and just doesn't look right trying to repair it without rechroming, and before I rechrome one, I'll get a new one. Been looking at a 57 Chevy bumper to modify
