Awesome work, and those renderings are off the charts! I love them! I'd love to get one of my projects.

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.

**67cheby** · 01-27-2012, 10:39 AM

Beautiful ....as expected !!

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 .

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.

(Double D) · 01-28-2012, 01:47 PM

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 !

butternut1972 · 01-30-2012, 09:18 PM

Very nice. I got winshield and trim installed over the weekend and I agree, it was nerve racking, but worth it.

Man, I am new here and ben looking through all the awesome builds to get ideas for my truck when I come across this one. its is just over the top! Everybody has already said it but the attention to detail on this whole truck is top notch, and BLACK TOO! How the hell did you get the paint to look like that, from what I can tell from the pictures the paint looks like glass. I have gotten so many ideas for my truck just from reading this thread! I HAVE to get me one of those seats now!

This is a great looking build. Where can I get my hands on a rendering like you got?? Isn't the digital paintbooth program available to purchase???

Those renderings were done by a friend of mine who is testing the software for Carter Hickman, who thankfully allowed us to post them. This latest version hasn't been released yet.
