glad to see you guys are back to it! I am very interested in how you guys handle the sheetmetal and still keep it looking good.

What about Super Dually? When do you guys think you will actually start using it as the tow rig?

Man, youre preachin to the choir! I'd love to come to the great white north and show people what Canadians have been doing since the dawn of motorized vehicles.... I cut my teeth up there working around my Dad and Uncle ( Brother and cousins) and an awesome and diverse selection of vehicles to modify and fix. People down here don't realize all the different Canadian specific versions of the "Big three" as well as how many British vehicles we had ( and you still have) to choose from! Anglias, British Fords ( Cortinas, Capris,) Austins, and Jags are plentiful, as well as Mercury pickups, Beaumonts, rare Pontiacs, and many more that I don't know of or cant recall...

Regardless, I think you'll dig what we've done with the front sheetmetal... it's really just simple problem solving... which is all hotrodding really is anyway. There's more to come on that truck... asit gets closer to a functional vehicle were making big plans to drive it! and it's gonna look ( and work) awesome when we do it or I'll die trying.

Anyhow, thanks for hanging in with us.... sorry it's been so long!.


KT

They did do that, it was the first part of the build, now they're pretty much making a race truck out of it lol.

I love the stance of the rear tires. I wasn't a huge fan of the brake cooling vents on the bed, but i think once they finish all the body work and get it painted, it will look great
