I saw a 48 Chevy truck done really nice, but man he forgot to stick to the theme (or bought it and tried to change it). It had an old school two tone paint job (fenders and running boards green and the body cream really nice) and heck of a nice stance on it. He had a white wall spare tire (okay fit the theme) but then he put billet wheels and a billet steering wheel with old school interior. The truck really needed the wide whites walls (like the spare) and it would have been killer. I know its his ride and that's cool, and I would never say anything to anybody about their rides (unless its a friend, my friends and I are rough on each other its bad I mean really bad.lol) but I just did not get it. Just my opinion it does not count for much.
Amen to that. Some guys get derailed when they get to a certain point in their build. Maybe it's the fact that they get in a hurry, hit a mental block and take the easy way out, or like the rest of us, take 15+ years to finish their truck and it goes through about 50 theme changes along the way.

I used to be vocal about what I liked and didn't like until a buddy stopped me dead in my tracks one day. We were at a show and we were looking at a car that had some real questionable work done to it, and as we were walking away, I unloaded to my buddy about how big of a POS it was. He turned to me and said, "at least he's driving his truck and having fun with it". He was 100% right, and I've never done that since. I keep my opinion to myself and respect other people's stuff no matter if I like it or not.
