Like the 'bad girl' in high school- I'm not supposed to...but I really like it.

That IS pretty cool looking. Might not be practical but it looks cool.

And here I was - happy to have gotten the floor patches tacked in place on my Raunch Coop last night.[V]

On the other hand, wonder if the builder took steps to lower that truck or all the filler took care of that as a fringe benefit.[:0]

Be careful backing up; those Cadillac lenses don't make good bumpers.[:0][)]

different,

As I look at it, it has some intresting mods. At first I thought the truck had the doors shortened in width, but comparing stock photo's I'm not so sure. The back window, to me looks (left to right) more narrow. However, it shows how a drastic chop can change proportions and make stock dimensions look modified.

Funny line when it comes to removing the rain gutter.
It would be neat to see the front end and the dash.
Front fenders have been welded up to aquire most of the hood. Dash appears to be a wrap around into the inner door.
Definitely fun to see others visions/execution.
And last...as I stare at the rear fenders (stare a long time) I end up thinking which way is it going? "coming or going"

So is that the next project Jeff? [8D]

There are several interesting Studes (and Stude dudes) on the HAMB. Here's another cool truck.

Pat, I like that truck too. I always thought a good look would be to have a C style bed on an M5 cab. I think it would balance the "look". Anyone have pix of that combo???

That truck looks like the builder had been doing custom work for a while, then one day decided, "I'm gonna get something and see just how radical I can get one one vehicle" and went to it! What separates this builder from most is, the finished product came out REALLY cool[8D] Too many times we see half-chopped up cars that went terribly wrong for sale as a "really cool car that just needs finishing"[xx(]

I hope this seller didn't do what I hate to see on vehicles that are for sale- did a great job building the truck and then didn't tackle the the final step of figuring out the glass Looks like it's probably in there, though.
