Re: The Project With No Name

OK OK OK. Do you need some of us to come out there and help with the build so we can start posting progress pics or what? J/K Cant wait to see more pics though. That rendering is awesome. Going to be a great looking truck for sure.

Re: The Project With No Name

I say we go out there anyway, and take our projects. Maybe some of the guys out there in the shop will take pity on us and help on ours too.

Re: The Project With No Name

Although I definitely love the original, the more and more I look at this version--the more I like it. It's not too far from the original idea of the stockish build. It doesn't look too custom. It's sort of a wild mild build.
We all have our budgets to stick to. Like I told you the other day, whichever direction you go--it should be one of the nicest square duallies out there.
I went in a fixxed a couple of things I wasn't happy with.

Another great thing about this site.... There is never a shortage of opinions! If we only had unlimted funds we could build one each way.

Wow! I'm not really into 4x4 but gotta admit that looks damn good!

Here is one I found, maybe a pinup girl somewhere on the truck would look cool.

Re: The Project With No Name

I used to have some red devil women stickers on my red 83 crewcab got them from streamline rodsho in denver from the artist coop. I had then on the front fenders where the typical badges go. I will see if I can find an old pic of what it looked like. But I figured you would like that pinup since it says CHEESEcake in the background
