    Very nice! Love the color and the widened cab too. Would love to see it in person sometime.

    Dan's truck is freaking awesome and surely doesn't look like a first build, in fact it looks like a very seasoned veteran. You and Mike both have killer taste and can't wait to see the next build.

    At first glance I wasn't real fond of the low and long look to it. But man, as I look at it closer and inspect each picture I have found myself building one on my head already. Being 6"3" I can appreciate what you did to the body to accomodate your height. Great job and it looks great!!

    Love the truck, and being 6'2" I can totally appreciate the stretched cab as well. Driving my '29 feels like I'm in a go-kart sometimes, and my wonky knees can't handle drives any longer than about 45min to an hour...

    Dan- You came a long way in a short time with your truck. Looks great. Last time I saw it, you were cutting holes everywhere. Mine isn't much further than when it left Leonard. It'll get there though. Impressive.

  23. Wow. I'm not usually a fan of more aggressive chops/channels...but your truck is extremely balanced and tasteful. Love it. That looks like the old Ford Sheridan Blue?

    Great build. Too bad people were so much smaller when these were new. Your modifications bring it up to what's needed for todays plus size guys.
