I have an advantage on all of you posters:.......I have seen Sam's truck in person a few times as we have put our trucks in same shows.....and believe me; the pictures (as nice as they are) do not give his truck justice.

From the looks of it, that photog will do a great job with your truck. His gallery is awesome!

That photographer does some very nice work. I would love to see what he would do with your truck. Sam did you just do the "c notch" thats shown in your gallery?

As everyone else said...very nice work on your truck!

yes, just that little C notch, 3 inches. total, - about a 1/3in for the rubber bumper in the top of the notch. was't trying to lay frame, just get the back end down level with the front when the bags are down. the parked stance is pretty nice..

on pics.. yeh.. some moving pic would be cool (I can't gen sparks like a couple others he did, THAT is amazing photog for sure).. we were thinking how cool it would be for some Black & White pics (like that one of the slammed pickup going away left), but then the green would be gone.. we'll see.. he does a lot of mag covers too..

thanks.. funny you say this.. cause I feel like John N must feel, trying to get to the end, and swerving down the path.. changing your mind, second guessing, troubles, and a gazillion little niggling things.. (feel like I AM being executed!)

Like I tell all my younger employees. there is the PLAN, and then there is what HAPPENS.. and SOMETIMES, only sometimes do those two actually meet.

I feel like I've spent more time working on her SINCE she's been done than all the time before.. (I know thats not true, but it FEELS like it)..

this weekend is Goodguys at Texas Motor Speedway. I'm gonna take the wheels off and clean the INSIDES.. WTF? I wouldn't do that on my personal car..(my last pickup had ONE carwash in almost 4 yrs!).. I am NOT gonna have the tires remounted to line up the letters with the valve stem as one show suggests for perfect wheel/tire score.. (they also have to have all the valve stems in the same location during judging.. oh please.. get a grip!..)

took it to the painter, and he said 'you want me to do the bodywork too, right?'.. I said, I JUST finished all that.. and he repeated 'AND you want me to do the bodywork too, right?'..
Nice looking truck. I imagine I'll be having a similar conversation with a paint guy when the time comes.....
