MAN! this picture says it all! it looks completely different with just a little material gone. at first i was worried you didnt take enough off, but these pics show just how much is gone, and how the proportions are spot on. nice work my man, nice work.

That looks wicked, it looks so right . The 3" chop is perfect . That is just a old redneck's point of view take it for what it's worth . Can hardly wait to see the doors done and the glass in. The bottom shot in your signature and that last shot from the weekend are in almost the same spot and I swear it looks like 2 different trucks. Awesome job marz

Once the glass is in i'm going to drive it home and park it in the same spot as this picture and do a before and after to really see the difference.

I'm sure it does but I'll have to wait and see what the glass will look like. I want to put the new glass next to the old one and snap a picture for comparison.
