Exhaust
Well I couldn't get it quiet enough to drive on the street so i had to do some modifications to my machine gun exhaust....I cut the pipes off and welded them to some block hugger headers and ran a full exhaust system to the rear with some silver bullet mufflers and made machine gun tailpipes....I still retained the look but made it alot more public friendly to drive...I've put a 1000 miles on it so far and it's a blast...no painted car is this much fun...I've got a little interior work left to do next...pretty basic..I'll finish it right away as well.

Interior Upgrades
The interior was a little to Rattty so I made some panels and covered them in burlap. I made kick panels ,one for under the dash and one for the firewall to close everything in...I made a set of cup holders machine gun style and mounted a set of drivin speakers through and old cd player that's hid behind the seat...I had an old assassins flag that I glued to a thin piece of plywood for the headliner to finish things off....I would say it's done...just gunna drive the wheels off it and have some fun.

Nice OCC build! air brush murals, machine gun theme EVERYWHERE, fake exhaust and a show car to boot! It was a killer build up to that point with a ton of awesome fab work. but then again you are driving yours and I am not driving mine so I guess I am the lame one... Back to the shop!

Fantastic truck. I just read this entire thread and now I may get fired for not working but I will go with a smile on my face.

I"ll see what I can do as far as getting some video up for it...too busy drivin it!!!..Update:..put on about 4000 miles,went to as many runs and cruizes that I had time to attend,Picked up some hardware,Did a pinup calander with it for 2012,Canadian Rodder did a feature on it for an upcoming magazine issue and I have been driving it almost everyday weather permitting...and it is STILL THE MOST FUN THAT YOU CAN HAVE THAT ISN"T ILLEGAL.
...Here is a couple of pics I took at the calender shoot...the magazine shoot I can't release any pics of until after publication....It has been a great summer and this little truck has wore out more cameras than I can count....and it has no paint!!!Unbelievable the attention it gets????It's been a Blast!!!Attachments
