Make sure you gets lots of pic of the clip swap to the chevy. I can't bring myself to cut up my current truck because it was my Dad's and my wife and I went on our first date in it 21 years ago when we were 16. It has too much sentimental value for me to cut on it. I am planning on drop I-beams one of these days, but I want another one to cut up and lay out.

Are you going to change it to an Explorer, because I was noticing in the rendering it's looks like a 77 Explorer but the pic of the actual truck looks like a 76 custom?

I'm not changing it...just what the rendering came out to be... it is a custom I believe...no gas door just the screw cap...

I love the drawings. What does he charge to do them?

I always thought it was cool on the Foose show where they would steel the car and rebuild it (can't remember the name) how he would draw it before the build would start. I would love to have that to display with the the truck at shows.
