Just check the build pics on this '66.....

That's because it's an opinion he shares with others... Very few here at that...

I for one DON'T despise anything that is not a slick. I enjoy and have owned all brands and types of vehicles. I also enjoy and can appreciate good craftsmanship and innovation, whether I personally like the vehicle or not.
I personally don't like to see a non-Ford engine in a slick (other than a diesel

), and I prefer to see a "year correct or at least" period correct choices for an engine, but a "hot rod" is another story. But that's just me.

Hmm, yeah despise is kind of strong. Guess I wasn't in a very good mood this morning. Sorry about that, I'll remove it.

That's what I thought............
Back to the build,
Why I posted it was because it's been discussed here about building a Panel Slick or Uni. What is neat or what I think is neat about this truck is how they took the back of the cab off and moved it to the rear and added the tail lights.
I don't care about it being slammed though.
Just trying to pass along some different ideas.

There is a lot of good work done there, but there is a lot of crap too. It's way overpriced. I would bet that they realized that they screwed up and it will take a ton more work to fix it. You can't drive something you can't get into. When and if you do get in there where will you put the seat? oh wait, how will the seat get in there...yeah....

I to thought it was a good idea to move the back of the cab back!, but you`d need a uni for the bulk of the truck and a rear cab off a split Slick!, thanks for sharing Jerry!. Now Greg!, whats stopping you?, that would be a seriously Molested Slick!

If I were to do something like that, I would have doors, and instead of the unfinished, chopped off bottom on the rear, I'd use the tail gate and integrate it into the rear...

Thanks for the post, I think a short UNI done up similar to the posting would be pretty trick. One doesn't have to "copy" this just use it for inspiration for a unique build of your own. Attitude and altitude are decisions made by the builder for their own reasons beyond that the possibilities are endless. I would have to say that if this post inspired anyone to attempt something similar the reason for it was accomplished.
