I'd love to know who did the body work and how many man hours are in it. Your never going to be able to pul into a 7-11 without someone running away in fear.

The work was done by two hot rod geniuses that I have known for a while. Duane Mayer and Bernt Karlson. They both used to work with the late Boyd Coddington. This project has been an ongoing thing for about a year so I don't have clue how man hours it has taken.

In the not to distant future, I fully expect to see that truck staring at me from the cover of Four Wheeler Magazine.

Damn fine rig.

Photo shoot is this weekend but no posibility of cover shot. They already told me that the color is not "bright" enough. Oh well. Thanks for the compliments.

Very cool! I saw the background in one of your pictures that said "Off Road Evolution" I've seen that store front in Fullerton, off of Commonwelth. My parents live just up the road near Gilbert and Rosecranz. Didn't realize you were so close. I grew up in Fullerton. A great town.

The H3 looks great! 8)

Ok.. So I'll be the one to "go there"...

How much did this setup cost..??

In particular the suspension swap if it can be broke out individually.

I'm sure I know the answer to this.. They aren't going to turn the suspension setup into a kit are they..??

Truck is looking great!! I am drooling all over my computer. I probably missed it, but what gearing did you use in the axles?
