Roadster Shop/Craftsman C-10 Muscle Truck

Videos are great, just too short for me to pick up enough fabrication tips. I could spend 15 minutes just watching the guy use the power hammer.

And, y'all seem so young to be running such a huge successful business.

Other than Sema Sam that is.

I agree, cable is missing a real show. Remember Rides, American Chopper (pre soap opera) and Overhauling. I watched for the fabrication...

Im sure you guys have enough projects to fill a few seasons.

The damned TV writers/producers would have the Gerber family yelling and screaming at each other to boost ratings.....I won't wish that on them -- - they seem too nice for that drama!

Just keep on cranking out cool projects!

Agreed on the demise of actual 'good' fab/car shows.
Sadly, like a car crash, the drama does attract a bigger audience and the technical content becomes only suitable for a niche audience.

Don't worry. We cringe at the scripted stuff too. At least if we all sound terrible on camera, the truck will be badass!

Back to the truck...

With chassis assembly coming together, we can begin the process of adressing the bed and cab.

With the assortment of Dynacorn panels and trim parts available, we have a nice, clean starting point to build upon.

With the new shortbed together, we create the opening in the bed floor to clearance the rear kickup and the cover panel.
