I would have to see the rest of the truck to see how it all flows together. A real unique touch, I think it would take some time to grow on me.

What Bishops Trucks said.
I don't like the license plate frame though.

I don't car for it. It just looks too plasticky to me. That is one reason I like old vehicles , no plastic!

**arturo7** · 06-16-2013, 01:27 PM

I'd rather have a tailgate.

I can appreciate the hard work that went into it.......but it is not for me.

I can definitely appreciate the hard work and fabrication that went into it. And, I think if we were still in the 90s decade, I'd probably feel more positive about it. But, I personally feel that this is a modification that looks "dated," and unfortunately we aren't far enough away from the 90s where those kinds of mods are considered their own classic genre yet.

Original is cool. Thumbs up for Ogre. But "It looks like a Corvette so it must be cool" just brings the wow factor to -1 for me. I respect the work but it's not for me.

Could have probalby bought a corvette for what it cost to do that.

Don't get me wrong , I like it.

But I went the easy way and added a convertible to the mix also ....
