    I really like that, it's going to be cool as hell. Are you going without a hood? Because those chrome headlights look trick like that. Did you make the batwings on the axle? Gonna be one sweet-***ed truck...

    I think it looks great so far.
    Except,
    I don't like those add-on headlight "eyebrows" on anything, ever.

    It doesn't need any "filler" around the headlights, check out the Beatnik Bandit, it doesn't have any filler.

    Can you mount the turn signals on the side of the shock mount just ubder the headlight, like they are on a '54 Buick but without the egg shaped trim?
    On a Jeep, less is more, simpler is better, Functional is everything. :cool:

    If you are gonna go with the hooded headlights, use the smaller hooded lights for turn signals and cut out the dimple right below the headlights and mount them there...

    Don't stop the photo recording. It will be interesting to see how it all comes to gether. Keep the camera handy. Not a cookie cutter project in any way.

    Man that thing is cool! IMHO, I think you need chrome shocks up front to go with the eyebrows.

    I'm not quite sure the front turn signals are big enough. :p :eek: ;)

    If it was mine, I'd name it "Cheetah Hoof". Don't know why. It just says "Cheetah Hoof" to me - and that's a good thing.

    Hey Tingler,
    You not only draw a helluva monster but you build them pretty good too.

    I give it the "Okie Farm Boy" award for excellent bad taste! lol

    To make it really wrong you need to Zebra stripe it using primer.
