Re: local guy makes the big time.
No I don't love the truck, but the striping and lettering I do love. Your work product made the cover of Hot Rod magizine, and that my friend is high praise indeed.
Good job Ed.

Re: local guy makes the big time.
I have the issue too. Very cool truck! I especially like the story that went along with it that he took his 10 year old son out of school to go Bonneville with him. All with his teachers approval. Thought that was pretty cool!

Re: local guy makes the big time.
Congratulations to you and your bud. Got my issue late last week and his car is the first feature I flipped to. It may not be traditional, but I'd drive the shit out of it!

Re: local guy makes the big time.
Traditional or not it's a nice ride with quality work having been done. Congrats Jeff! It's nice to see a local car getting some exposure. One of my favorites around here.

Re: local guy makes the big time.
I am not much into diesel but this project evidently was done right and has so far proven its worth to the owner. Overall appearance looks good to me and thanks for posting the coverage.
