That's every other Thursday after work. I just finished the canopy in time for the heat.

In your neck of the woods I am betting that is more important.

Its nice but ain't a big deal once your used to the heat. That is what the pool is for.

A little progress on the rear bumper and tailgate. I love when we make a super fancy part that changes the look of a certain aspect a whole lot and yet it still looks stock.

Really Really nice. Sometimes one of those mods just shines. This is one.

Man, that is so sweet Roger. We're used to seeing flushed bumpers on cars, but not trucks. At least I haven't seen it much. Much sweeter than adding the age old roll pan. Nice touch!

What I always appreciate about this shops work is how much these builds come out damn near ready for paint. Given the amount of subtle body mods....there's very little bondo needed to make 'em paint ready. Amazing metal fab skills there.

Thanks Guys. It really comes down to the customers willingness to let us do our best. Some times 50 bucks in bondo could save 5000 or 50,000 in metal work. But the quality will never be the same.


The only thing stock on the back of this truck is the taillights and I bet those will be made in billet pretty soon. Oh and the actual lettering in the tailgate came from another tailgate.

Speaking of which.........
Just fill the holes you need to fill, polish up the bare metal a bit and clear the darn thing as it sits! You don't need paint on this truck, it's beautiful "in the white".

looking good.

I love how you incorporated the hood hinge mount with the down bar. That's the way to go.
