It looks ok from the side but not so good from the front. The holes in the hood don't look good so big.

I can appreciate the effort and skill level it takes to do that, but I agree it just looks off to me.....

Looks like he graphed two front doors to make each back door. Panel doors wouldn't work, they are slanted at the top and are extremely hard to find. It would be like using gold leaf to cover left overs.

hmmmmm..... well executed, but not my flavor. I guess if you have to drive a certain type of newer industrial truck and wanted it to be shaped like an old truck, this does meet that requirement.

I like that. An amazing amount of fab work to get to this point. To bad with most of this stuff you never find out if it sold and for how much. Says firm but that could change if he is not using it.
