all damage has been repaired and a healthy coating of lizard skin has been applied. i also fab'd up a cleaner center console that will house the switches and gauges.

Question:
I see you chopped your bed. Where did you make the cut?
Edit: Or did you just move the fenders up?
Again, very impressive work.

This thing is super super slick!!! Just looked at the whole thread. That's tons of work for so little time. Hopefully one day I can have all the tools to do sick stuff like this. Very creative hat's off to you overkill! I think you just blew the doors off any of chip foose's builds lol

The rear fenders have been stretched, the wheel openings closed up to cover more tire and yes they were moved up.
