Re: what do you think?

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.

Re: what do you think?

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.

Re: what do you think?

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.

Don't get me wrong , I like it.

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