Bad to the bone, beginning to end. Every step makes this look meaner.

Weird, but this thing looks like a pulling truck! More so then 'Big Time'. Short and stalky, especially with those wheels.

Cool than that means I have done my job it is different. Once I get a few more parts in Big Time will look a lot different.

Here are a couple pics with the new pipes and tanks mounted. Now all I need is the bumper so I can mount the rear fenders and the deck plate then I will be ready to paint.

As soon as the cab over dump is painted I will do this one. If I get busy it could be next weekend.

Travis,
That at first I had my reservations about this buid, but I must admit that is starting to be one bad a$$ looking machine. I love the rims they look like somthing out of a Mad Max movie. Awsome looking build. Just wondering is this going to be a flying truck if not will it be playing chicken at Indy this year with Benny's truck......LOL

That would be a NO on making it fly but as long as you are referring to Big Sexxy as Benny's truck then yes we can play chicken.:p:D

You and I are on the same wave length I was going to get the tanker off the shelf to see how it would look and I have more of the paint.
