thanks man its getting there

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
 

WOW, it's been toooo long since I've been on here. Really impressed with the work you guys have done to this truck. It just goes to show that a little ingenuity and imagination can do just as much, if not more than tons of cash. Very very impressive.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
 

Had the whole crew over today, worked them like dogs. lol. The little short one is the one that helped get the wheels for the truck and has contributed quite a bit of labor as well. that is the reason that her name is going on the back window.

So exactly what kind of work is involved in shaving the cab seem for the roof?

Re: It ain't over till it's over.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
 

I would but it looks stupid without them,we are going to get another bumper, since that one has a lot of dents in it, and just doesn't look right trying to repair it without rechroming, and before I rechrome one, I'll get a new one. Been looking at a 57 Chevy bumper to modify
