There are many receipts to back up the $ spent. There are hundreds of fab hours, yet the original look was maintained. The firewall was replaced with new and smoothed. Inner fender holes were also smoothed.All chrome bumpers and badges redone by Meclec Inc.

There's is so many more smalls to this truck. She is clean from top to bottom.The motor compartment draws a crowd. It runs and drives good. Everything is new and works.
There is one thing that needs attention. The paint job is a 7 out of 10. It is more than adequate for a hometown car show. There are a few flaws we found while checking her over. In the right light and angle you can see them.I'll gladly answer questions or provided more photos. Every hot rodder says they have X-number of dollars in their build, this one has the receipts to prove it.
