LOL! That would be me. Someone forgot to check the height box on my options sheet. I do think an upsized version would look good on you. The truck is coming along great. That air intake is wild!

I think I stood in the height line twice. What I lack in dark and handsome I make up for in Height.

Love trucks, obviously! You guys can build a bad a$$ truck for sure! Good work buddy!

Time for some details.

Glovebox
So we decided a while back to take 2 glove boxes and ditch the speaker grille in the middle and make the glove box go all the way across. Plus we thought when chromed it would pop. We we got the glove box roughed in an Steel, then sent the glove box and speaker grille cover to our own Lat-g super hero, Bob Braga.


Bob digitally scanned the parts and then made the outside face perfectly flat while keeping the fit of the parts we sent him intacked. We then sent that Solidworks file to my machine shop. I kid you not, 1 week later we had these in our hands to fit before chrome.





Then we fit them them to the truck before chrome.


Here we are yesterday, holding up the chromed speaker grille cover. We are waiting for the glove box still.

The hood emblem

Well we decided there was no way the stock emblem was going to still fit the hood on this truck. So we took the stock emblem mounted it to the hood and then used bondo to fit it properly to the hood. Notice how the stock emblem did not even have the "R" in the center of the emblem. That right would have drove me crazy.




We did the same thing by sending the part to Bob again. And 1 week later I'm sitting here at the shop wait for UPS with a Saturday delivery.





This piece in Chrome will be mind blowing.

Thanks for the work Rodger. Can't wait to see this truck at SEMA.
Parts were sent to me. I laser scanned them and then reverse engineered the part in CAD. Made some custom changes that Roger wanted to add. Sent the files to his machine shop.
I can't believe he machined this stuff so fast for you. Hurry up and fit it to the hood I want to see how it fits.

It's not here for Saturday delivery from UPS and the truck is being assembled 2 hours from the shop. We will fit them on Monday.
