Thanks JohnC. Im not a big fan of the wheels, but it looks ok. The cowl is a badly attached fake Bondo'd right on top of the stock hood, and they didnt do ANY bodywork (or much masking) before they sprayed the paint. Lots of runs, but it looks good from 20 or 30 feet and great at night or in the rain :lol:

I think he can. I had a friend who did this with a lesser brand truck. He could put it on and take it off. The real problem was that he needed two people to ride with him when the top was on so they could hold it when he stopped fast.

Since it was a F*$d, it flying off during a fast start was less of a problem.

Finally, he decided it was destined to be a true 100% top-off ride when his girlfriend broke up with him because she had the door post permanently embedded in her neck.

Lousy fashion statement.

Nope. Fictional humor.

In response to the question about whether a Sawall'ed roof can be put back on as easily as it came off......
That's my personal style of a laff-track. Or a "smiley". Trying to not look like an arrogant pr$#k.

I like the stance on your truck. How did you drop the front?

May not be the nicest in your opinion, but it is indeed a nice truck. Looks sharp. Any pics of the interior?

Which one the rear or front? Got the rear at the salvage yard for $30.00 about two months ago!!! Got the front from Kelley's Classic Car restoration in Sparks GA. If your interested in their number contact me! Great place to get your vehicle restored! (5 Stars)
