Did I Ruin This Classic Dodge Truck?

Рет қаралды 104,359

Жыл бұрын

This 1967 Dodge truck has been in the family for the last 6 years and I finally got around to finishing this project. Gave it a classic vintage look and finished it off with a bada$$ paint job from the best in the business. Do you think I ruined the truck or is it looking better than when we got it? Let me know in the comments what you think about this classic Dodge truck!

Definition of ruining a truck: leaving it sit for 20 years rusting away in a field. This is badass and I really miss the show.

I enjoy your KZfaq channel a hell of a lot more than the Vegas Rat Rod show no network involvement and crazy drama anymore. That Dodge is exactly what I like in your builds no fancy restoration just a good old work truck with all the modern touches.

Love the truck, Steve! I am a die-hard Dodge guy and 50 as well. So, I will have to agree with your statement about all of us old guys want an old truck with all the new stuff in it. You are very lucky to have the skill, finances and the dare I say luck. to be able to do these projects. Love what you do sir, keep it up! Id love to meet you some day and swap car stories. Cheers!

I have to admit in the beginning of the video I thought you were Nuts! But after seeing the finished truck (I know they're never finished) it's One Bad *ss Truck & like you said " You have the truck you want". I'm also really digging the subtle upper dark transition to a lighter color bottom. I can't wait to see a detailed video of the complete build of the truck.

@Stretch87035 Жыл бұрын

I really like the "old" look! Let's look at it this way - the truck is an old truck and it takes care of the want of that truck. In painting it the way you did, it compliments the look and style so don't worry about what others think. Enjoy it!
