WOW just read through your build twice!! amazing detail and eye for blocking/polishing!! great taste all the way around, with that said can't wait to see more

ckid1971 · 06-15-2012, 12:09 AM

Bowtie468.... Love this A/C controller!!! I had a question..... Did you just purchase the controller or did you buy the complete system? (Since the controllers are sold seperately)

Beautiful build by the way!!!

n2billet · 06-15-2012, 08:49 AM

This build/builder has definitely raised the bar on what quality, fit and finish should look like.....awesome!

1stchevy · 06-15-2012, 08:51 AM

How did I miss this build? This truck is amazing, love those fatties out back!

BACKYARD88 · 06-16-2012, 10:52 AM

I think I just need to sell my truck, there's NO way I can compete with this kind of quality

Looks Beautiful Chris!

belowme51 · 06-17-2012, 04:21 PM

your truck is super clean and bad a** do you plan on painting below the trim line to match the grille as well as the tailgate letters in white ? or just the grille the rest black? looks super classy this way and different than the norm. congrats on such a beautiful truck.

Thanks Keith , if my truck ends up half as nice as your rides, I'll be happy ! I've been handling all the assembly and fab work , but I'd like to give credit to Kevin Morgan of Ronnie's Collision in Natchodichis , La for the awesome paint and panel fitment !.

He's an outstanding paint and body man, but an even better man and friend! (I know that you know this Chris, but I just felt like he deserves some more recognition!!) Your truck will be on magazine covers when you are done!!
