new tires. they have never even been on a rim

That is a vicious looking guard dog, better keep it on a tight leash before it eats some poor shmuck alive! lmao

And yes, body work blows. Thanks for reminding me what I'm not looking forward to with my own truck...

Btw what are the new tires, look very 37" HMMWV-ish from the middle of the tread pattern?

Nice Chow...is it purebred?

Trucks taking shape nicely, been watching on FB too..

 

[icanfixall]

Yes.. I agree bodywork sucks and blows because no matter how much of it I do it still looks bad. Its an art form to be sure. I have to say its looking great and I like the orange color. That pic with the plug wires had me looking close at it wondering how you had an injection pump and spark plugs in that engine. Like I said.. It took some looking to figure it out.. But it was neet looking to thinking it was build differantly.

 

[rembrant88]

Nice build. That's going to look like a factory truck when all is done.

 

[6.9poweredscout]

Thats the plan!
