Thanx bro!!! Well the vanilla is just primer right now too much humidity to do anything else right now but the cab is going to be the same green as the motor

Thanx the grille was a thought that came after lack of sleep LOL!!! Wanted to do something a lil different than everything else out there

The whole truck is an idea I have had in my head for the past 5 or 6 years and it all just kinda came together all of a sudden and I have had an absolute blast watching it come to life!!!!

Just got a chance to go back and look at your recent pictures, AWESOME! [cl

Love how this thing is turning out, doing some great work man. Really looking forward to some video when you get it running.

Doesn’t look like you’ll have to go very far to take it to a car show, what is that across the street from you?

Thanx SR8!! Yeah I can't wait to get this thing fired up!!!! I really appreciate it too!! I have never done anything like this and it amazes me every time I look at it knowing that I built this!!!!!

That's the county fairgrounds I live right across from them

With the exception of the tunnel ram (I'm a supercharger guy), I am in love with your build! [dr

That can be pretty cool, provided they are having an event you like. I have a funeral home across the street from me and believe it or not, they have a yearly car show.

Well there used to be a car club in town but they shut it down due to the fact that they were all a bunch of big babies and couldn't get along LOL so the only car show we have here is the last day of the fair and there is usually about 12 cars there and they are the same ones that were thre the year before LOL

I would bolt them in place...j/k

I'm may to try to find some carriage bolts with a hex drive if not too expensive and tap the holes after drilling because mine are going to go into tubing. Second choice may be to add some angle braces with welded on nuts or holes and access.

How about welding studs to the backside of the flatbar strips, then the nuts and washers can go on the underside for a clean no fastener look.
