You can get one of those inflatible balloon signs to put on top of the trailer...and exta 2K might get you twice that in business.



Stopped by, DK looks much better now, love the dash work.

Who did the paint if you don't mind me asking?

Well my plan on the hauler is to build a fold up seating area on the roof that would give a shaded place to hang out and give vertical banner space. There are welded pivot bungs up on the roof already.

The reason we took that car wa sto show the dash work we did and what sets our work apart. The DK project has come along really nice. It's amazing how just a really clean and basic Camaro can stand out now days in a sea of over the top Camaros. The car was painted at Palmer's Customs in Camarillo. If you need his contact let me know. So far we have been really happy with his work. One of my biggest customers is looking to take to more projects to him in the next few months. We have another project there currently also. Both Dk and the other project should be at SEMA.

I'm generally not a fan of this type of shiny truck, but this build was executed to perfection

Well we did some custom taillight work on the 1960 Ford. We used some custom tail lights from Marquez for this project. We had to form the reveal around the taillights and build everything to get it to fit the slightly bigger light diameter. I like it. Check it out

Stock with mock up tailgate installed

The Die we made to form the bigger reveal around the taillight. Just some 5" drill pipe Machined for the desired reveal.

And both sides. Now time for a very custom tailgate. And modifying 2 nova bumpers to create the desired bumper we want. Should be cool.
