That's what's so cool about it imo, heavily modified body but done like it came from GM that way. I think too many builds get odd looking because the builders want to showcase what they can do vs doing it to take the ugly out of the original vehicle.

That is exactly what Frank I spent so much time doing. We were just trying to take the ugly out of the truck. We never did one rendering or anything. We just laid out a game plan and worked to rid the truck anything ugly. It's funny how many people have no idea that it is not a really nice resto.

That's the great thing about a place like lat-g, where the rest of us can see what was done. This one might even make truck guys out of some of us.

That truck looks so good out in the sunlight. The paint is incredible, well all of it is. Great job for some really good people.

We made our last stop on the West Coast tour from SEMA with the hauler at Del Mar this past weekend. We got our hat in the ring for one of those fancy tool boxes Goodguys gives out with the picture of your wining car or truck on it. What a cool trophy. We were able to get the first finalist position for the Goodguys Truck of the year (early) finalist for 2012. Frank and Mary were on cloud nine all weekend. The weather was amazing and the food was really good also. Not that we had much over the holiday....





Some crazy shots we took after hours in the booth with the outside lights.
