~Mike~

[bigdogrod]

[BRICKNICK]

Looks amazing Jon, nice paint design. It looks like a paint job off of a 49 merc led sled....sweeeeet

[RAIDERS]

John turned out sweet great job

[AZLIGHTNING]

Great looking Additions to the paint Job, just awesome!

[Roadmasters]

Id say it was wideawake now!

[fhhhstix]

If you guys think the truck is cool you should see the box John caries it in to the shows.:p:D

Travis

[sneaky-pete]

John.....you are killing me with all of these cool paint jobs!

[Espeefan]

That's much improved! Nice and loud, but really sharp!

[Claus]

The dark colors really bring out the chrome!

[gun]

bricknick to answer your question john makes the bolt on fenders under his vendor section S & P ! its the place you need to get your upside down snow sled drive fenders and stacks.

[CAT29]

Very nice rig looks great I love those guards and the paint is cool! Good work all you guys spin me out

[cabrover]

Looking good!!! Be done for Hazen?

[OhioFarmboy]

Really like the color combo,but i am partial to purple...

[Stylin n profilin]

Thanks everyone..Just added some new stacks to it..Not too shaby..:D:D:p

[hammer]

THE MAN IS INSANE.......... Once again awsome build John knocked it out of the park

[Snowman]

Oh my FACE!!! Those stacks are AWESOME!!! Nice work John!!

[BRICKNICK]

I love those stacks. Might look good on my pete.

[Stylin n profilin]

Thanks guy's..They are bad to da bone!! But she may have a facelift soon...wife seen what ive been doing now...Now she want to change it up abit..:confused::confused::confused::eek::D

[russisloud]

nice stacks :eek:

[TRUCKMAKER]

The stacks are the best! I just bought some tubing to practice bending that style for the Knight Krawler. Some how I dont think they're going to look that good!

[Espeefan]

The new stacks are sweet, though I am not a fan of turnouts! They do look good, and they are different, though I am sure not for long. Soon everyone will be rocking a set on their trucks! Very cool. The turnouts don't look bent though. Were they angle cut and soldered? That's a better way to do it then to try and bend them. Nice work!

Now all it needs is a few bunker lights in the back panel!

Nate the are what you call a California turn out they cut them and weld them on a real truck. Yes they are cut and soldered I did a black set on my black pete but switched back to the chrome ones too much black but your right they will be all over the place I have 4 sets heading out to Jon..
