The amount of metal work is incredible - very doubtful that it will be rewarded.

I will say that its a nice looking truck. The thing that irks me for that price it only has a regular crate engine Ford Racing used to sell and plain TCI transmission. An AODE at that, not even the better 4r70w. I have a more expensive custom torque converter in my tranny.

I like the $295K in labour costs over 4.5 years. I've had my truck for 15 years so can I say mine is worth $1.4 million?

I've seen a few very nice ones at the Supernats that looked like $100K builds but nothing like this one. That truck is flawless.

What would you do with it. If you drove it and someone hit you the insurance company would give you $3000. Its like one of those beautiful strippers meant to look at but cant touch

nice truck but nothing I'd want. I sure can appreciate the workmanship and quality though.

I have to commend the craftsmanship and vision, but at the end of the description I read " Why waste years of time and frustration creating a world-class custom when you can call --------- and drive off in instant gratification". Than I realize what it means to do what I, we do

It's obviously meant to be a trailer queen show car, not a daily driver. Thing that puzzles me is that with all that custom metal work, they put a FG hood on it???
Hmmm it's in Charlotte, might be worth a road trip. Kinda strange tho with over 300 cars on display (that's more cars than most of the major museum collections!) and full time sales staff, they are only open by appointment???
