Thanks for all the positive comments guys I appreciate it!

civic83 I'm probally not gonna build the Valiant. Hope to have more updates next week, these door are a beast to get perfect! Gotta make the vent windows be able to open up and everything. I'm not gonna worry about the trailer until the cab is completly finished. Got parts on order so now just kinda waiting..>Marty<

Lol, yeah John I always thought that was really wierd when they was saying that on the radio.

Again guys I appology for the crappy pic's! I hate this camera it is useless to try to set it up. Here a very small update, haven't had too much time to work on it this week. Wifey is on me to get the pool installed and running.

The front crossmember had to be cut down almost to nothing to allow for the angle cut frame horns. And shortened to allow the bumper to be closer to the front wheels, to match the movie Pete.

Very nice job on the front end. This is one of the things I love about our trucks, we put our own idea's and twist's on things and make it our own. Keep it up buddy.

Hey Big John, I cut the frame like that because thats how the old Pete's really were. The frames are angled and the grill goes all the way down to the bumper almost.

These builds get you hardcore on details. Might aswell go all out lol
