I agree Mike.

I think this build will help stoke that fire some more though.

Back to topic...the Craftsman touches are so cool IMO.

I have been up close to this truck for the entire build. You will be hard pressed to find a more precisely put together 67 -72 c10.
The fit is crazy perfect, lines are lazer straight and the finish is flawless, and thats just the stuff normal people will notice.
This truck is just nuts. The guys at RS are such a talented group of guys. They took everything they learned on the orange truck and ratcheted it up (tool humor).
If you go to SEMA make sure you don't miss the other two chevy trucks they just finished for for the show (one is blue & one is green). The talent inside the walls of The Roadster Shop is mind boggling, I learn something new every time I walk in the door.

If I lived close enough to the Roadster Shop where I could go visit them, they would hate me!

Vince,

But you were kind not to mention the 'pop-ins' at the MSperfab Estate during dinner with the family.

First of all you guys really nailed the interior on this thing - its easy for a shop to kind of do the easy route and just slam in some over-leathered smoothed out street rod style interior, but you guys really came down in the perfect place combining the original utilitarian steel panelled stuff with some softer materials and brighter colors.

Question- in the interior episode it was mentioned that you stamped out the CRAFTSMAN logo on the tailgate "in aluminum". The tailgate looks so OEM I can't imagine you built the whole thing out of aluminum. Did the video mis-speak or did you actually integrate an aluminum piece into a restored OEM tailgate ? CAn you elaborate a bit on how that was done ? (not asking the secrets to the perfectly formed logo letters !)

In the video I caught something about laser cutting the letters and using them as a die to stamp the aluminum.

I think his question is how they got the aluminum attached to the steel tailgate...??

I caught that too in the video....
