He did,…………….the new recessed area just behind the engine. How could it be a sleeper if it was painted?

it's cool and whats wrong with the look ? i'm still debating on actually making mine shiny after the repairs or doing the faux painting my buddy says he can accomplish , to keep her looking as is , replete with the dents just no cancer .

Rattle can of paint...$5.00. Tires and rims...$800.00. Viper engine swap...$4,000. Look on the Ricers' faces...PRICELESS!

If it was all slicked up with a $10K paint job, it would lose something in my opinion. There's guys out there that would gladly pay through the nose for a truck with a nice patina like that. It's the hottest thing!

Thats OldUhaul's truck from here. He built it several years ago and drove it from CA to TN on the F100 Super Tour. It really is an awesome truck. I was waiting for him to chime in here and tell more about it and maybe even post some build pics? But he hasnt yet?
