How much did you cut out. I chopped mine 4 in but did it a little different. I love the look of a chop top and when we did mine it took a little coxing to make the first cut but after that it went pretty good. Always figured if we messed it up I would end up with a convertable Slick.................Kid[/img]

Gotta tell ya.............I'm likin' the hubcap treatment.
INEPTOCRACY: (in-ep'-toc-ra-cy) : a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

I'm thinking, Steelies, bottle caps and wide whites. Now that would be the cats meow. :rocker:
But then again, It's yours to build as you like and you are doing a great job thus far. Keep the pics coming.

Haven't seen too many trucks like ours in candy apple red 8) w/ ghost flames.

I am in favor of the hubcapped look on that truck, and it looks even lower with them.

Awsome looking truck. Very good work. I think you should remove all the drip rails to really carry out the (Slick) look. Fill in all the seams too. Would make a truly "SLICK" truck. Anyway awsome job I'm just thinking out loud don't mean to cause you more work, you have done a lot of work already. Thanks for sharing.

Oh man...HUBCAPS ALL THE WAY. The previous rims just dont do the truck justice. Now with the hub caps that thing looks sweet....put some white walls with it, maybe even some old caddy caps, either way please keep that look going...sell the rims to the mini truckers.
