well heres the project i mentioned to you guys a while back about. my buddy is paying me to build it for him since he doesnt have time or knowledge to do so, his best attempt with spray paint is as good as my worst attempt lol but he loves vehicles none the less so i give him props for tryin stuff himself every now and then.


heres how it came to me, no motor, no trans, barely any interior, no bed or driver door.

he did the flipkit himself and the notch, which both are messed up, the rear end is offcentered and cocked sideways and the notches arent even.



heres after a weekend with me, new bed and door, its the door he took off, i fixed the hinges he messed up

with the money he'd use for the new motor setup he could get a nice bag job and have a better truck

yea i know, i suggested all that to him, but at the end of the day its what he wants, im just gona do my best work on what he wants done even if i have to spend extra time doing it to make it just right. gona start on gutting the interior, shaving the tailgate handle and pockets on the bed this weekend hopefull. then gona start on the frame , i'll keep pics posted as i go
