Roloc disc art in some bare sheetmetal buried in clear is something I could see somewhere on this truck.....

I like those dice a lot, you need to hang them from a reinforced rear view mirror when you're done with the truck. I'll bet it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for you to move your art over to the light side, perhaps do unicorn, butterfly, and rainbow art on the side of that truck! :-)

No, seriously, that stars and stripes flag art is really cool, too. I wonder if something to that effect could be put all along the side of the truck, kind of like a super-fat body trim/moulding.

Thank you SO MUCH for the kind words!!! Idk about the unicorns haha but I have done some art on the lighter side! Some really cool ideas here!!! I really appreciate all the kind words! I'm hoping to get back to work on it soon!

Thanks so much! I actually went to college as an art/music major and wanted to minor in photography!!! Switched to exercise science. My setup is really simple, it's a towel draped over a chair, a lamp pointed at the object, and then some editing on my phone! I absolutely LOVE picture editing! If any of you guys have any cool pics of your trucks I'd love to edit them for you!

Here's another piece I did last year, it's a rose in a traditional style and used sharpies markers.

Love the sharpie art also I also enjoy photography myself, never have went to school for it but kinda picked it up on my own. I love capturing something no one else would see in something

Thank you so very much my friend! I agree, I love learning new things and hearing different opinions/ideas! My whole goal in life is to continually improve physically, mentally, and spiritually. I've always strived to be a Renaissance man!

Got the gussets made, fitted, and tacked in. Got to lower the truck down and see how it's currently sitting. It's around 3" except right at the very back of the flat part of the frame, that's around 4". Only had a few rods so didn't get to fully weld all the joints yet. Hopefully finish this up soon! I'm getting excited about how it's sitting!

Looks great!

Well guys it's been a LONG time since I've posted. Man has my life took a HUGE turn. I have recently moved to a new place and had to sit the cab back on the frame to move it. Pretty pumped to see how low it is. I haven't been able to work on her any since the whirlwind that's happened. I now have an Instagram and Facebook account! You guys feel free to hit me up on there!

Looks great!! Wish I had the fab skills.. and my welding skills look like a 3rd grader with a severe twitch did them!!
BTW, if you ever decide to ditch the steering wheel, lemme know.

Welcome back I hope. Truck looks killer hanging on the ground.

Brando, long time gone, it would be great to hear about an update on your work of art pickup. Do you still have it?
