the roof looks off from the frontal angles, but I'm not sure why

I whole heartly agree, but I still think it's ugly. I agree there's a lot of work put into that truck but, IMO, a lot of wasted work to make something ugly, kind of like wasting a lot of time and money sticking a big, heavy engine into truck and not gaining any benefit out of it.

Just our opinions, we aren't casting him out into exile.

I "like" the scooter. Very sculptural and creative. I guess we're all upset with an F1 is mashed in any way. Maybe that one should be put on the "wrecked trucks" thread!

I can appreciate the work, but it's best if he had the "eye" to go with the ability. That "boat" windshield frame is so glaringly large and it's heart shape doesn't flow with the lines of the truck, so it just hits you over the head. looks like something that was supposed to be temporary and was thrown on at the last minute.
I have always supported the concept of hotrodding: It's your vision and your vehicle. Doesn't mean I have to like it tho.

Well, it runs which is way better than my truck at the moment.
It would be something to drive, but it's not my cup of tea.
I do like the tool box in the tailgate, cool idea.

The exhaust in the bed rail it different, but I'm a guy who likes to drive these trucks and that would be a problem if you drove it any length of time.

Now the scooter, that is cool. But they needed a seat and to ditch the leather on the sides. Again, I think if it has wheels and a motor it needs to be driven.

I've seen pictures of an F100 with a Viper engine that didn't require widening the truck 2' or lengthening the front end. Even if you did want to do that, it would have been better IMHO if it had been done "stealthy" rather than pounding you in the face with "look at what I've done!".
AFA the scooter, a seat based on the V of the caddy emblem would have finished off the theme. Like the truck it looks unfinished.
