    Well the one project i have been working on pretty consistent this last year finally left today bound for the upholstery shop and its home. I don't think it wanted to leave, i drove it up to the top of the driveway and parked it to give it a final wipe down, then the owner tried to move it and it would not start (dead battery) so i put another battery in it and then it wouldn't charge! swapped alts real quick and that cured everything. kinda sad to see it go, it would of made a VERY nice shop truck!:D he did leave me something else to play with so that was nice;) and yes the wheels are going to get changed!!

    Wow man, BITCHIN' pickup! I think I've seen the tudor before... if it's the one I'm thinking of. If so, there is already a TON of high end work done.

    I'm with ya, loose the big hoops and trendy tires.

    Matt the truck looks great. It gives me some motivation on my truck. I did the same thing with tools the other day, I found a box full of tools. It's like an early christmas.

    That is a beautiful hotrod Matt.
    That's exactly how I'd want mine to look like if I ever have a p/u.
    Great job.

    the tudor has a lot of very nice parts and labor involved on it already, im not touching it for awhile. going to lower the lid about 2" in the front and finish out the suicide doors and flush mount them. he s thinking of the old lakes stlye skinny set of big and little halibrands to fix the wheel issue.
