Ok, so I picked up a new rig. Not so much a project since its damn near ready to go. But it will have substantial changes along the way. Its a 91 Reg cab pickup, bobbed and dovetailed, only straight sheetmetal is the stuff that points to the sky. Its seen its share of trails but its a solid rig. Built with the good stuff.
