Was that pic from the Risen show up in Carthage?  Truck is looking good man.  Sorry I couldn't make that show but we were so exhausted after putting on our big show down in Orange that I couldn't breakaway that weekend too.  Coming along nice.  Can't wait to see the next step.

Yea, that pic is from Risen. We had a great turn out for the show. Maybe you can make it out next year.

@dv8 you got any further on those inner fenders?

It's still on the trailer from Risen so no progress on the fenders yet. I have been working on this instead, hope to have time to finish it up this weekend.

Definitely different! That's going to look pretty nice. I've seen ram air scoops grafted into a '66 hood but never have seen the mid section of that era of hood grafted into a square body hood.

the details are what is going to set this truck apart.  everything from the respaced lettering on the tailgate, to the perfect chop, to the leveled fenders, and now the graphed hood.  i'm counting the days until we see this truck featured in a magazine.

Nice. Subtle, and refreshingly different than the bolt-on ones I usually see.
