Re: home stretch...chopped 72
Ive seen plenty of our style chopped trucks, and the one thing Ive noticed is that when its a stepper the flow always looks better (to me anyway). Nice rides.

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
i should have mentioned that my job got downsized a couple of months ago due to a buyout of my old company by another, so i have had some spare time! here are a few more before ,the pile of wires was from several stereo installations,alarms and every other add on they could find.the last one is my new tailgate i made...i have a louver press that i knocked the dust off of i havent used it in a long time so i punched it to match the hood..i think it looks pretty good.i dont know why i just have never been big on non functional tailgates.

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
I am not a fan of copped tops but this one actually looks pretty good on a stepside. In less than two months you have done an awesome job.....keep the picts coming

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
YOU SUCK!
I HATE YOU! I'M ENVIOUS! (Did I mention I HATE you)! They are BOTH actually beautiful. Wishing I had the $$ for paint on mine. But then again I'm an ungratful little B****H.

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
Now that's determination. Less than two months to turn that one around. Well done. The downsizing sucks but look on the bright side.

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
steps and tailgate done...no more painting!.took it out for a spin today,actually drove pretty nice and the power windows are fun to play with!i may raise the front a little it is kinda low.interior is cozy,it seems a little strange sitting on the lowered seat,the brackets are cut down to the floor...but i will get used to it.

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
Usually when I see the word "chop" as associate with these trucks, I think...oh no!! Not in this case. Mild chop doesn't make this look out of proportion......beautiful truck!

Re: home stretch...chopped 72
Agreed, both vehicles are beautiful and the subtle chop works for me as well. Great work!
