That's an amazing truck. Lots of work went into it and it they did a good job tying it all together. It looks like the fender is continues under the light too. They had a vision, and they did good working getting to their end goal.

Re: Spotted this at the Eugene (OR) Roadster Show
agreed. I honestly dont care for the rounded look front with the harsh squared cab BUT.. someone did make it work. I would be interested to see a pic of it with the hood closed.

Thanks. The thing that sticks out to me, and does with most all that go in the new old direction, is the round / square. You have a bluntly square cab, with a rounded front. Thats just my taste as it may appeal to some. I scrolled the pics up last night. If you scroll the truck up and hide the cab top off the page, and just view mid windshield down.. it looks so much like a late model truck. When you scroll it back down, and look at the full view, to me the original lines just don't flow with it. The rear reminds me of the 80s.

As I said, that's just my thought process, and taste. I think its amazing when someone has a vision, and makes it happen. The time and effort folks put into ideas outside the normal cookie cutter mods is applaudable no matter what we feel about the finished product.

Re: Spotted this at the Eugene (OR) Roadster Show
Not something i would do or buy but i kind of like it, yeah the lights square off from the old body style but they made it work and kind of flows IMO.

Re: Spotted this at the Eugene (OR) Roadster Show
I just don't get it. Clearly great craftsmanship, but more does not = better. I just don't get it. I'd love to see the builder build a stocker - I bet it would be beautiful. But I guess I'm biased. Nothing against it - like I said, great workmanship and all that, just not my cup of tea. Or coffee. Or orange juice...

Re: Spotted this at the Eugene (OR) Roadster Show
Yeah...a little too much mod for me. Looks like a ford ranger ran into a c-10. They did nice work, I just dont care for the direction of the build.
