Love the truck, man. Looking forward to seeing it put back together.

Have to ask. What color is that? Ford color? Custom?

Polishing that manifold must have been fun and time consuming !

Even though I am SO not a fan of lowered trucks (okay, so I am old and boring), I have to give you the credit you deserve for some of the most beautiful fabrication work I have ever seen. Love the color choice as well as some of the engine detail you show in the pics. Awesome work, for sure... keep the pics coming!

Always have to admire the craftsmanship.

One of these days I might just be able to fab like that. Would be nice to have the skill in it of itself, welding and all that.
