I think this is my favorite one so far.....everything just seems to fit, as vulgalour says....
running boards tucked up tight, or tube bars, some bumpers, maybe a visor like you said, Grenade and yeah...its really getting there.

Headlamps & a front valance / bumper is all it needs in my eyes - a clean look without any additions and it will look just fine !

I just got home from work today- The last three days kicked my butt! I'm tired. Nap time! I'll get back to the truck in a couple days and the blue Durango in the background? We drive that one. Last month we drove it to Florida 16hrs each way, thrashed it around in the sand on the beach and drove it home! It's a runner, that one! But yeah- you know I'm cuttin' it up hahaha

That stude cabin looks so tiny. Ever considered building a durango based coe? With that long steering column it might work.

The COE trucks, super cool- but I feel like they should be Diesel, dually and lowered. I like the Durango builds, but I'm ready for the next big thing to appear. I'm hoping to expand enough to where I can build bigger machines. What is it that people say- "Someday, when I _______ " haha "grow up" is usually my response

Growing up is overrated anyway....Being a 50+ kid that plays adult so now and then works for me

Growing old is inevitable. Growin up is optional.

My Hemi Studebaker truck is parked up for a bit, it's almost done, needs interior, radiator, bed floor- not much. A few days work. I took it to my regular job's building and stashed it out of the way because; This Arrived: It's Not getting body swapped. It already IS. Read about it here- Enjoy! forum.retro-rides.org/thread/204112/ford-coyote-power-build-neverguess

This truck is coming back into my little garage soon, it needs to be finished. I fire it up every time I'm in the shop and I think "Man, this is so close" that it motivates me to bring it home. There's only a few days of actual work and I can drive it around! I'll be at that building today, I'm going to take a few pictures of it, outside.

And the home shop build? How that going?

I pressed "pause" on it. Something WAY better is in the works. What's that stupid old saying? "Good things come to those that wait?" Well with all the waiting I've been doing, it should be a super duper fantastic high flying win at this point! I have everything ready to go with the building, but it's on pause. Working on a top secret scenario that, if I pull it off-it'll be magic. For right now, I've got these 2 trucks to finish ... I was with the Hemi Studebaker today, we were to busy to pull it out and take pics, I changed 7 hydraulic fluid solenoids on my boss's rockstar quality motorhome/freakin' tour bus. The room extensions weren't opening and closing properly, so we determined that we could solve it on our own, rather than paying full retail rates at the RV place. Saved thousands, learned something and now he's ready for vacation! (Psshh me too lol)

So the Studebaker got a radiator installed today, a temperature test shows all systems GO. It also now has a lovely place for one's backside to perch. It also has it's registration for the road. We bought Historical Plates which basically never expire. On the road very, very soon...
