However I am so confused.
Find the January issue of Street trucks magazine and look at the first few pages.
There is an article all abut the guy that used to own it and how he is selling it to make room for his new baby or whatever. (Jeez give me a break)
Any-how. The larger photo shows the truck before the body kit, and in the smaller photo it clearly shows it with a body kit on it.
I followed the buildup of this truck and read several articles on it as it was being built. I even saw it for sale and at the time the current bid was like 38,000 I never did see what it actually sold for.
The photo in Street Trucks was the first time I had seen it with the body kit on it.
Personaly I like it without the body kit.
OK let the flames begin. I've got Nomex undies on.

cool hills hot rods related story...
at my school, we had guest speakers from auto air colors come in. i jumped on the chance to talk to them, plus i was class president so it was kinda my responsibility. i couldn't remember at the time if they were indeed the paint used by jason hill, so i asked one of the guys about it. sure enough it was, and this guy was good friends with jason. we got to talking about jason, the trucks he puts out, and my truck. i guess jason is gonna be building this guy a square body pretty soon, it may have already happened as this was over a year ago. anyways, later on i was mixing some primer and the guy came over to me and handed me a red hat and said "here, you can have this", then i turned it and looked at it and it had the Hill's Hot Rod's logo on it!

That's a load of crap. If I were to build a truck for you within your budget you would get exactly that. You would get what you paid for with my expertise. If you wanted me to build you a truck top to bottom inside and out you would expect to sink a good $30k + into it. So if you bought something this guy slapped together at a budget price and are bashing his name then at least post pix and what you paid and state your case. Everyone wants something for nothing.
THANK YOU! this was my point exactly! i just was tryin to be nicer lol. strkr98 what we're sayin is... if his work was overrated he wouldn't be as well known as he is for the work he does. its not like he has this HUGE shop in the busy part of town he's in a midsized shop on a backroad of the edge of town. you say it like he's biast(spelling?) to people with lots of money or "important" people but like vile said it takes SERIOUS money to build ANY show truck... especially a squarebody, you get ALOT more w/ $30k than you do w/ $5k becaus of all the hours and work it takes for the build. lets face it... to build a sqaurebody into a PERFECT line matching smooth as glass show truck it takes ALOT of work. even BRAND new the body panels and gaps and all were nowhere near perfect alignment. i'm a young so i've been around jason's work for the better half of my life and i've seen his $30,40,50K jobs and his $3,4,5k jobs and YES there's a HUGE difference in the two, but to bash it for being a difference is like comparing like bashing a civic caus its nowhere near the car a corvette is..... point being... even his smaller jobs are better than most can turn out for the same money.... and so are his high end jobs.
