Have you got the fender badges worked out yet? (I read through your build thread)

Not really, Tony. I'm still trying to figure out a good cab to foil cast them from. Thanks for looking and for your comments.

Thanks, Jim.

Thanks, Dominik, I really like your GTX.

Thanks, Tom.

Dang Ben! You must have great eyesight and little bitty hands! I can't hardly see the numbers on those emblems, much less cut them apart. Thanks for the compliment. Did you have to cut the frame twice to make a short bed, or did you leave it extended cab?

I wish I could say that I still had that great eyesight! It started fading in recent years. Mine is a regular cab, short bed. I cut the cab, interior, chassis, inner bed, outer bed sides, fuel tank, exhaust and drive shaft. I think that was everything? I'm pretty sure I cut a section out of the frame to shorten it, somewhere in the center. I did it when the kit first came out so it's been a little while. I still have it. There's pics of it in my Fotki albums in the "Light Commercial" folder. I painted it red.

Thanks Daniel. I forgot to give you folks a peek at the six cylinder.

Wow! Even better! Really nice job on the six banger!

Welcome to the world of "old folks eyes". It happens to all of us. Your short bed looks great. Thanks again.
