Hey I saw that with the 57 Che*y they are doing CopperHead...
It looked good..He did say with it down half a step on the highway it "does" improve gas mileage....And I believe him because they have to have their Truck stuff right and down....
I also like the installing of that wood bed with those snap metal lines...was sweet...Don't care to much about where the gas cap is going to be located...but o well I don't get free stuff to do to my truck..

Must be nice building a truck in a fully equipped shop using only the best stuff with no budget limitations.

His banner is runner here! Thats the same name, Droptail. They did a great editorial on them in the front of my a magazine I got in the mail this week. Iem #4 of New Items You wish You Had. Says its a very cool and practical new accessory, mileage, performance, tailgate theft, towing, back-up visability, well you can read the article for the rest. TV, magazines, these guys are hot now.

I'm going to watch it again and see if there was something I missed on that power tailgate system, and see what engine they had in that cool copperhead.

He might of said 67! as you can see from the pic it's definitly not a 57. I have been trying to follow Copperhead and Crazy Horse since he started doing them.

We were sitting here talking about the same thing when we was watching it. He has every toy a man could want (I won't say any more this is a family site...lol )

That tailgate thing was cool but I bet it is expensive. I really like that copper color. really made that piece of chevy look good. And it won't look so bad in a few years when it begins rusting

Last time I got see the show he was doing a Bronco. How did that turn out?

I like the show I just can't stand Stacy. That goofy look and constant laughing gets on my nerves. I am sure he knows his stuff. Just irrates me...lol
