As always, hands down the coolest build here. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm sure whoever's that is in the memorial on the scoop is looking down and appreciating it all too

The truck is not intended for showing but I would'nt mind entering it in a couple when nothing else is going on, just think of all the old folks that will say "boy you sure ruined a good old truck"

I did do the graphics everything was just a matter of masking & a little air brush work, this was infact the first time I'd ever run an air brush, so I'm pretty happy with the results,

The name in the memorial Is Kelby Latham, He is my youngest brother, "BINK" was the nick name I always called him by, He died the end of june, and your right I'm sure he is proud of how the project is turning out, prior to his passing he gave me a lot of motivation, & a helping hand any time I needed it, not to mention he had no problem getting me fired up with something like "so & so is talking sht". Now that he is gone the motivation comes from having a good reason to finish the truck, I know he would want that,
This story Is not 100% true but other than a couple details you get the jist

Thanks for all the compliments, I'm planning on the project to keep moving fairly quickly & I'll keep you all posted,
any other questions, comments or improvment ideas are welcome.
