Re: to each his own????
Well, he says it is costumized, I guess that explains a few things.
 And it is hard to find -- maybe he will provide directions.Ummmm, not exactly my cup-o-tea....

Re: to each his own????
That is not my taste in resto mods...It looks like the classic lines that make our trucks timeless have gone to never never land. JMHO

Re: to each his own????
I have been a fan of the bed swap, wanna do one some day, would like to get fiberglass wheel wells though and replace with our round openings.... but yea a stock hood with a cowl induction glassed on peeling off. and the crack on the roll pan on the bed, glass something together a little without it being tied together structurally and that stuff happens. btw, the grill? wow

This is a good example of how "different" is not always better.

Re: to each his own????
I'll say this...for some this would be exactly what they want is a restomod...while other maybe not. Overall the work doesn't look that bad cause we got to remember as one drives these trucks flaws will develop. Different doesn't make it bad and for $3500 that is not all that bad for all that has been done. JMHO
