Default Check this out!!

These guys moved into our old shop a couple of weeks ago and they just built this awesome truck. They took it to some sort of trade show in Las Vegas and they had some magazines come and talk with them about putting it on the cover of a magazine or something.

















These guys are really talented. They built that entire truck in 3 weeks. They do all of the fiberglass work in house. Everything is custom. PM me if you want some contact info for them.

I respect the work put into it, took a lot of skill. The truck is uglier than ****, though.

First vehicle I've seen where you have to stand while driving.

I think modifying cars is the only industry in which creating something horrendous gets praise just by the time and money spent on the project. Doesn't have to necessarily look outstanding.

That said, did they do an all digital display layout? I dont see any tach's on the driver side dash. If so, that's cool, I'd like to do that to my car .

The seat is going to be a tree stump. They are going to build that pretty soon. They have a new truck in the shop that was on the cover of Truckin' just a few months back. It's really clean.

I heard the stereo in this truck the other day when I was at the shop and needless to say my ears are still ringing. It not only shook the building but it rattled the windows at the other shops in the business park; outstanding!!!!

They finished up another truck on Friday. It's a newer Silverado. They took the center console out and made their own and integrated to JL 10's into it. It's badass. I wish I would've taken pictures of it. Those guys are good. They had another truck show up a few days ago that was on the cover of Truckin' a few months back. It's a Red/Brown chevy truck. Not really my style but they're damn good at what they do.

Not sure what to say, so I'll just say it looks "interesting" and leave it at that, lol.
