Peace Bro.

I'm happy to see that it's all been put straight between you two.

ahh haa... dont try an go outa yer way to ruffle my feathers....youll just waiste your time.

i said i thought his truck looked good. but you know some times stuff in pics looks different then it does in person, like the truck i saw at the show out my way..i never said his truck looked bad, i said i liked the way it looked, and the one i had seen was prolly the worse one ever done.. but hey thanx for your concern, and you know what they say about opinions..(mine ecspecially) oh and on a side note. even though you disliked ol Dixie Chrome..you still clicked it and that counts as a view fer me!! now go build or drive sumthn

While it may look cool to some, I wouldn't do anything you can't reverse easily just in case you ever have to sell the truck. Every time you do something that isn't reversible, you devalue the truck to a very big percentage of the market.

Enough said Tony .... IMHO I think your truck looks great and I've even contemplated doing this to my truck. Have a good one and look forward to any progress pic's of your truck.

esll.

Re: Welding the 'gate shut....

Here's an interesting one. This is the only pic I have. I can't say if I like it or not without seeing the finished product...

Thats cool too, more of what Im looking for with the tail lights....Im thinking more along the lines of stock tailights though. And the bodyline dent thing that runs aong the gait just under where the handle goes. I like it.

That's cool Tony [burn out is no good,] I know it will look great when it is done the way your going about doing it. I have a few little things that I want to finish on the 70' .... but after working on it all year I'm taking a break from it for a while.

esll.
