kinda neat

RACINJASON22 · 03-16-2007, 01:05 AM

Cool! Wow does that truck have alot of mods or what! With that many mods you would think they would have done something more unique with the doors lambo, suicide cool none the less. RJ22

I like the lights, but the other body mods have seriously fubar'ed the body lines. Looks like a wet noodle draped over a spoon. The look would come off better, if that ridge line was flatter.

Man - that is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

The lines are totally whacked up.

dan42 · 03-16-2007, 09:59 AM

I don't think the color helps much either - but hey, that's just me.

3/4tonterror · 03-16-2007, 10:39 AM

Wheres the body line in the center of the hood? Its on the rollpan and the grill/front cowl, but doesnt go up the hood. Not well planned. but cool looking

its all bare metal at the moment

shifty · 03-16-2007, 11:01 AM

That is a pretty damned nice truck. I like how they shaved and molded the front clip together (fenders, etc.). I do not like the angle chop on the hood - I think it looks great to angle chop the roof, but if you notice, they completely redesigned the rear end of the cab...so you wouldn't be able to tell if it was angle chopped or not

I think the lack of slope in the roof is what makes the hood look wrong like that.

The lights are cool. Curious what they came off of. Look like they're off a Dodge/Chrysler vehicle. Any info on the shop that is building this truck, or the name of the truck?

1LoC10 · 03-16-2007, 11:23 AM

The shop building it is http://www.grantkustoms.com/gallery.html
the headlights say they are Comander lights.. I don't know what that is though

I'll never understand the "Let's make a sow's ear out of a silk purse" mentality.

I think the nose of the truck is ruined. Great work, just no great looks now

jimmydean · 03-16-2007, 12:01 PM

I like the lights and the bare metal is slick. But I agree that the lines are all wrong.

You have to put some serious hours to pull off the bare metal though. Lot of work for sure, I just don't like the lines.

metalmassfab · 03-16-2007, 04:24 PM

Is that thing an El Camino...???

CG · 03-16-2007, 04:52 PM

Im gonna have to see pics of it done and with better lighting and angles before I pass any judgment.

I think it is "done". It's the same shop that did these:

I have to say they did a better job on the first pair, but props to them for trying something new.

Rokcrln · 03-16-2007, 04:58 PM

Craftsmanship 10+, doing that level of metal finishing is way over the top! Artistic value -

1lo ,its really nice-if thats what you like.Personally I dont like the chopped up low look.I like the stance of the hot rods back in my days.Carry on though brother!

56chevy1300 · 03-16-2007, 05:09 PM

here a pic of the tail light treatment of the same truck...I like it!

NPilot1975 · 03-16-2007, 07:35 PM

I know that the mid-60's truck that Jimmydean posted has been painted, I haven't seen the late-60's one.

**Hart_Rod** · 03-16-2007, 09:58 PM

I need to invite them over and get a little help with the tail light modifications on my suburban. I would give anything if it came out that smooth. Oh well, that's why they make bondo

*Shane* · 03-16-2007, 10:10 PM

That metal finishing is awe inspiring.

BarryB · 03-16-2007, 10:22 PM

Yeah I have to agree with everybody elses comments on the metal work. They get an A+++ for the skill and patients it took to do that. But I also agree it , that the lines don't flow very well.
