    Yup, love the stance. I saw your cab during a short visit to Gambino's in July. Spectacular metal work.

    I know it been a while but Alex has been real busy and has not had time to post, I will be at his shop in a few weeks and I will post pics. Right now I have been working on the bed and the small parts ( boring stuff ) I will make it happen

    That is one cool project and it is in the right shop. I noticed the no guard on the machine, no fear M.F's here, hey saftey glasses and a leather apron are good start. Be careful Alex, we want you around for a long time. O.K., thats enough safety meeting, the truck is going to be a rockin machine. Go with Gambino's and you are going right!! ~sololobo~

    After going over some issues and plans we took a break and did some Holiday fun with Alex. I took a photo of his 54 and made a drawing and laser cut him a 4' long 54 and Alex at cal-hot coatings did some killer powder coating on it
