    Very nice. Is this the same truck getting the t-bird rear? Larry is right in that the truck is only the second prettiest thing in some of the photos; lucky man.

    Excellent!

    Imagine me speechless! Doesn't happen often:D I love the pinstriping! That my friend is OLD SCHOOL! Tell me that it is all hand painted! Takes me back to the late '50's to early '60's when I was helping dad show his '34 PU! No such thing as too much pinstriping back then. You are quite the creative genius. Thanks for sharing. BTW, you've got a very beautiful family as well. Lucky man. Feel free to post a picture of the lunch box too!:cool:

    The model posing is from the Ol Skool Rodz photo shoot, so I can't claim her. The rest is all mine.

    The bell is actually an old vehicle alarm I found at Pull A Part in an old 70s shag van. I stumped the girl at the counter, so she gave it to me. I have it rigged to a button to go off when I push it.

    Just added some recent photos, check it again. I did everything except bend the exhaust from the mufflers out, and extend the driveshaft.

    Thanks for the pinstriping comments, I do that too.
