I just feel sorry for the guy in the dark green F1 for having to park next to the other thing.

It’s the basic difference between those that like to build stuff and love old trucks, and those that just like to build “stuff” and are crying for attention.

Look at it this way . . . if it wasn't for those kind of builds then ours would just look bland.

I saw this truck in person at the detroit autorama this year. The workmanship that went into it was insane. Not exactly how I would have built it, but I really liked it.

Well your car is much different than most of these shown. Now if you had put and Edsel front clip on it, then we would start talking.
You didn't mess with the body. But you did really beef up the suspension. Little body roll and one wheel off the ground. Yeah, you are moving around that corner.

Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Many of these trucks posted looks like they randomly threw junk together. A lot of work for something not really usable. Now, I don't mind that shop truck. Not my style at all, but they mostly left the body lines alone so it still resembles its former self.

Olboy- no 24 hour race in that one! It must be a ball to run that on a good road track.

The dark green truck is mine. I didn't mind because it made my truck look GREAT.
