Ol'Rover · 05-20-2008, 06:25 PM

i saw that befor, ide say... a little too much custom work done

**fine69** · 05-20-2008, 06:29 PM

Took them 9 years because it kept making them sick to see it.

Andy4639 · 05-20-2008, 06:34 PM

Not for me but Man what work. He didn't leave anything untouched. He has a lot of time in it. Custome everything even the frame.

What about the drive shaft though. It looks off to me. It maybe the angle of the picture too!

bigsnookmaster · 05-20-2008, 07:03 PM

It was $40,000 last week.If you wait 3 more weeks,it might be free.Lol

**nightmare** · 05-20-2008, 07:44 PM

Andy4639, your right, it is off. But if you look at the differential, so is the input. I think that's just how that differential is though. The angle of the picture doesn't help any either.

c10addict · 05-20-2008, 07:51 PM

The 9" fords have an off set center section. The rear must not have been narrowed or it wasnt taken in to consideration.

jorgensensc · 05-20-2008, 08:16 PM

All that custom metal work, and he still used the push through ties to hold the electric fan on. He couldn't design a nice shroud?

Quadtrax · 05-20-2008, 10:03 PM

I may be showing my age here but .... Doesn't that kind of ruin the look of the truck.

I mean, nice truck but I have seen nicer ones right here on this forum.

sleric77 · 05-20-2008, 10:17 PM

Amen, Quadtrax , Amen .

c10addict · 05-20-2008, 10:20 PM

Let me clear the air... I said WOW as in W.T.F.... I mean nice craftsmanship and fab work but not my style...

JMurray · 05-20-2008, 11:02 PM

"THE PAINT IS BLUE WITH RED PEARL"

I think they meant to say Barney Purple

Ole Blue 68 · 05-20-2008, 11:24 PM

Why?!?!?

Scott Webster · 05-20-2008, 11:37 PM

Positives.... Nice craftsmanship on alot of it.
Negatives.... wow. When saying "award winning" and magazine article 'ish, I think I would throw a little touch up paint where it looks like the bottom was all chipped off the $20,000 paint job.
Something looks last minute here. That cable coming through the firewall for the hood release has what looks like marker crosshairs where they drilled through and the radio panel looks out of place.
Whew! Backing away from the computer before I nit pick more!!!

It would still be too much.

We need to have a board wide truce about not posting pics of that thing. There are some things you unfortunately can't un-see. This would be one of those things.

**leddzepp** · 05-21-2008, 01:09 AM

Looks like a comic book hero drives it...Pimpman

HAHAHAHA.... that is going in my sig for a while. I have to agree with Powell

pissonNOS · 05-21-2008, 02:00 AM

i agree with the craftsmanship being good but man youd think someone that can do that good could make something a little less ugly

I appreciate the custom work, but OMG That is "U-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi, you UGLY!!"
It takes all kinds, what a waste of a perfectly nice 68 SWB

GKsport67 · 05-21-2008, 03:48 AM

...what is that?

chrislehr · 05-21-2008, 04:30 AM

Some sort of a purple nightmare.

Ugh. What a waste of good skills.

Huskerboy2 · 05-21-2008, 04:32 AM

I would think a guy that did all that fab work could get his door panel gaps straight. That driver's door looks way off.

**special-K** · 05-21-2008, 04:36 AM

All I can say is,"Incrediible!"

I won`t knock it.That`s how custom is.If yiu didn`t build it or it wasn`t built for you,there`s a good chance you won`t care for everything.I don`t see an untouched part on that truck.That thing is an engineering feat in itself.We could all learn alot from whoever built that thing..."Incredible!"
