it reminds me of the '70s International pickup. Looks fairly well done from what the pictures show.

Looks very well done but I don't like it. At quick glance it looks like the late 60's chebby truck body style. And we can't have that. Door handles are part of being a truck, leave 'em.

It almost looks like the same era - more like 60s - chevy.

Creative to say the least.

I guess I'm a odd ball, but looks good to me, I currently own two dentside's, and if you don't have a chrome trim package (which I don't) I think the plain dentside looks ****-poor. Just my opinion

I,
__think if you want a chevy, spend your money on a chevy.

This what we call stupid money.
(When you have so much, you don't
know how spend it with common sence.)

This is classified as MMTBS, or more money than brains syndrome.

If it had to original mirrors, door handles, and tail lights it would look a whole LOT better. It's just too plain, but I guess some cowboy wannabe from washington state can do what he wants to his truck, if it trips his trigger.

Hope that guy never has to do remove the fenders, or for that matter take it off-road and tweak the fender to cowl crap.

I bet it's all bondoed in too, probably 300 pounds of it.

i dont like it. the body needs to be able to flex seperately from the frame. if you flex too much,the body needs to be able to flex too. more so when your offroading.if this happens he will find cracked paint at stress points,or filler cracks. i bet there will be regrets later for doing all that work to make it different.

I don't like it either. Looks like somethings missing. All the smoothness makes the hood-line too pronounced too.

I like the "dent" myself. It would NEVER occur to me to get rid of it.

Another wanna be auto designer that sucks.

Oh man I just noticed the taillights are molded over. I thought they were just covered up. The more I look the worse it gets!

Two big thumbs down!!
