The mountain pearl, Any thought on how much this will end up going for?

The Mountain Pearl is a Master Piece! it was part of my inspiration on mine. My guess is it will go for 75 K or higher, although it was already out of my price range when it was posted!

Pretty cool truck!

I know this might sound nit-picky but I think it would have looked tons better if they would have made the bottom corners of the grill opening match the curve of the canted headlight doors.

I mean, if you are doing all that metal work, go all the way.

Belive it or not this truck was built in the early 60's, it was also the first vehicle featured in Rod & Custom's first color issue. I agree about the lights but for whatever reason that is the way they did them back then, I have seen a few like that, thats why I did mine a little more vertical.
