It's been a loooooooong journey to get here Chris, I know you're excited, heck I'm excited, and it's not even mine! Can't wait to see it! And I agree on the TOTY!

Looks incredible!! Your painter really knows how to lay down black, I bet you're beyond stoked. Congrats man, now you gotta post up the maiden voyage video!!

72BlckButy · 09-19-2013, 01:08 PM

Freaking amazing Chris!!!!

That thing is clearer than a mirror.

BTW... I love the trailer. We have one close to it. Would you mind posting a picture of the toolbox area upfront? Did you add a winch?

**Bowtie468** · 09-19-2013, 10:36 PM

Thank you guys , it's definitely been a long road . Not done yet , but close !

Outrageous I have said this a thousand times but I love this truck. I kick myself in the butt every day I sold my black 72. Paint was not as nice as this one but I love black. What is your completion date.

Appreciate that Eric ! I feel the same about Tootsie . As for as completion, we are attempting to bring it to Mississippi for CTC. Looking at the calendar I still have 16 days left. Won't be complete but I'm hoping I can get it there. Cross your fingers !

Love this pic! Tucked and it looks like you have room to turn.
Do you know how much narrower your track width is than stock?

Yeah , I've been going back and forth about buying one for the last few years . You know , when I was younger I could slide a piece of cardboard under a vehicle and spend the day working underneath it . Now I'm hurting after 30 minutes !
