more tear down pics...

cab coming off



next is the motor

Well had a few little things come up but the trans is out going to drop the motor a little bit because i never did before. My wheels showed up and got the tires mounted up.

What are the new plans for the truck Jason?

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm curious, why not just buy another truck, and build it up?

That way you would have two options, have two nice looking trucks in the end, or sell the nice truck {it being fresh out of the magazine would definitely help get you a good price}, and use the money for the new build.

Well let's start with the plans... It's going to be repainted same blue just redone with some extras I have a few things I want to fix after the 3 years its been painted. Bigger wheels new stereo and interior. That's the basics I am keeping the details quiet until its done at showfest

As for why this one I have somewhere between 10-12k into it the stuff that I'm redoing is about 3k or so so there is a big differance. Plus I have 400-500 hours into the truck with the body work and detailing on the motor trans frame bottom of the cab. The redo should be 200 hours at the most. And I would be lucky to get 8k for my truck on a good day its worth more to me then that plus the wife said if I sell it, it cones with divorce papers lol. I don't want two show trucks just one and I already have my next project once this is redone

Well frame is ready to go to work and be sanded and painted.

Sweet. In for pics

Sounds like you got a good woman lol. Truck will look tuts as always

LOL no pics till showfest... at that point you will have seen it in person...
