DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This began with the latest version of the Hideout truck, which was a warped up mess by the way. Bullnose cab is from AITM. I got the bed straightened out and modified. Here is how bad the frame rails were out of the box. Here is a mock up. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leafsprings Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 I like it! Great idea for a vintage hauler, I'm sure you can make it work, even with the defects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cifenet Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 I like how everything turned out, but I really enjoyed the from bumper paint scheme. I would like to try this sometime, it makes a strong statement to the vehicle! And I love your collections in the background (including your trucks), very interesting to see what you have there.
