Here's one of my customers that I've had for the last few months. I just finished his truck with everything that he wanted done, and he's now getting ready to have the interior done.


In this pic, you can see a few things. First is the Phantom Grill. You can buy these pretty much anywhere, but it's a pain in the butt because you have chop up the headlight casing and recess the headlights inward. Also, check out custom steel cowl hood. We took a second stock hood, chopped it up, added side panels, welded it onto onto the original stock hood and molded it all together.Look at the front and rear fenders. Notice the custom wide body? Again, this is fron taking stock 4 stock steel fenders, chopping them up, and welding them in. And finally, check out the custom roadster conversion. This is one of my favorite things to do on a truck.


Here you see a custom Hi-Jacker hydraulic system installed. It's a 2 pump, 4 battery, 16 switch "Street Cruiser" set up. Also, it's kind of hard to tell, but the entire bed is all carpeted. Pay no attention to the wood board that's holding up the toneau cover though. rolleyes.gif *lol* It was really windy and the cover kept trying to close. So that's why the wood is there.


In this pic, you can see the roadster conversion from behind. You can see that my conversions are very smooth and very clean. Also, it's kind if difficult to see, but notice that there are no rear lights in the stock spots. I shaved the lights, and installed small light bars in the bottom roll pan. You can also see the rear fenders of the wide body.

I know, I know..alot of you are not truck fans, but I was just so happy to have this vehicle out of my shop finally that I had to post pics of it. It's taken me soooo long to do everything on this truck, that I'm just pleased that it's done and over with now. So, what do you guys think?

Jed..they can be made custom to fit any car or truck...but's really tough to do. The one abaove in that pic is a pre-built one and you just have to recess the headlights about 2 inches and then bolt the grill right on. I've seen people make those grilles though out billet aluminum, and I've even seen this one guy make the exact grill out of an old fiberglass shower door. It was insane.
