Crazy detail in this truck

Re: off it goes
 

Thanks guys

Re: off it goes
 

Finally finished reading all this. Great work, looks like you are getting close to done.
I'm about to start on mine but it will be no where near this level.

Re: off it goes
 

Thanks...I started out just going to do a nice clean simple re-do but I’m such a detail freak that it snowballed it to what you see here now.

Re: off it goes
 

Looks so *****in
I'm more worried about opening the can of worms on my '68

Re: off it goes
 

lol....it happens, I tell the wife it's like the time you wanted to paint the hall...and before we knew we re-modelled the entire freakin house, lol

Re: off it goes
 

I think this may have cost more than the house.........

Re: off it goes
 

Lol, not my house

Re: off it goes
 

The remodel, I mean.

Re: off it goes
 

bed strips are in and my buddy was over and did a darker brown freehand pinstripe to separate the two colors from interior to exterior

I might not comment on this thread much, but rest assured that the moment I see the "off it goes" at the top of the forum list, that's the first thing I click on.

I'll admit that this truck is not my style. To me, a truck is a rough and ready 4x4. However, anything with this level of commitment, thought, and effort is absolutely worth paying attention to.

It's been fun following along. Particularly now that you're on the home stretch. I'm particularly anxious to see some more pics of the engine bay. I understand that you held off on showing some of your mods, because you wanted those to be seen in the final reveal.

Re: off it goes
 

Thanks man...I really appreciate it, you are correct, I have held posting engine bay pics. We are getting to that part of the build now, motor is in just have do all the stuff around it. Under the hood is not over the top with wild mods, just did a clean simple tidy engine bay, there’s lots of mods but so subtle only the purist will realize the details. Once again thank you for the compliment [/I]

Re: off it goes
 

a few more pics

Re: off it goes
 

So nice. I'm excited its getting closer!

Re: off it goes

Re: off it goes
 

Since I see digital gauges, its a LS motor, no?

Re: off it goes
 

it is a Mast Motorpsorts LS, dyno'd at 589 HP

Re: off it goes

Re: off it goes
 

Stellar build as usual

Re: off it goes
 

thanks guys...leather wrapped kick panels are going in. Painted inserts and laser cut stainless LS logos at work which works for engine and Leisure Suit initials

Re: off it goes
 

Nice detail.

Re: off it goes
 

Those kick panels look cool, just when you'd think what else could they do, something else comes out the hat.
