I kinda like it!
its the best looking 48-50 I've seen yet!
not sure I quite understand how those springs work though??? also as far as Rat rods go this one looks/appears to be very well put together and ?
Notice the guy to the right of the truck (in black pants and glasses) he looks very concerned about getting any closer than he already is

The thing that bugs me about it is how cool it could be finished, but instead I cant get passed the metal roofing as bed sides. Just not my thing i guess.

I kinda liked it a first. Then I looked at it some more and the longer I looked at the pictures, the lamer it got.

If they ever do Thunderdome again this truck would be perfect. Really liking the looking of the dually on such a short chassis.

The way the springs are mounted will canx their effect - The bottom set need to be turned over.
Nice tires.

Personally I like it, wouldn't want to own it, but does have new age hotrod look. I hate to see good restorable trucks boogered up but sometime someone comes along and does it right.

I like it,looks like something the Jesse James would have built in Monster Garage. I think it would be a blast to drive around town for sure.

Is it only me or are the pictures no longer up? It's like going to a party with a blindfold on and eveyone telling you about what's happening.
