Last week my guys really busted their ass last week to get this 2nd truck knocked out for Frank the owner of the 48 we finished for SEMA so he could surprise his daughter and son in law for his daughter's birthday at the local NSRA show this past weekend.

Here are some pics for the truck as we are trying to wrap up some final details to get the truck to interior. We are using a new shop for us called Stitch by Stitch Interior in Yucaipa, CA. Jan has really knocked it out on the seat in the truck.








In the 4 corners of the bed we made these compartments, The back 2 are use to fill the fuel tank and battery box. The front 2 will be ice chests.

Really enjoyed seeing this one. Congrats Rodger and crew.

Keeps its classic truck looks, but they're enhanced with a lot of creativity.

I would not have picked this truck from the get go, But with a few nice modifications I think we really made a sharp looking truck that makes me rethink this body style. This truck is not fancy or over the top. But it sure stands out in a crowd.

I think we built this is just under a year, maybe 10 months.

As far as Intros - Kenny has the Dealer Deal with Intro on Lock Down. And He thinks Intro's are popular after all the internet HYPE.

Actually Budnik knocked it out of the park on these wheels. They look perfect on this project. The brushed centers polished high spots look killer. These are the 2nd set in existence. Thanks Jay.

Really like the tail lights and Ford emblem out back. Interior is all class. Really like the pattern in the seat and the colors. The bed has good lines but it's everything in front of the doors that says Mac truck to me.
Taking a second look if I were to do one, hind sight being 20/20, I would raise the front bumper just under the head lights and put the signal lights in it. Custom air dam below bumper. Then I would slope the nose of the front of the hood and give it a cowl or something in that direction. I think that would give it a little more aggressive style. Thats just me though and I'm sure the owner was going for exactly what he got which is a classic styling.
