I have never been a fan of bagged vehicles, but even I'm excited for you. This looks like a huge project, and I can't wait to see the finished product!

How much more tube work are you guna do? Just random tubing to make things complicated to the eye while still adding support??

Just got word that my truck will be getting featured in sport truck magazine just as soon as we finish it.

So that means will be adding more to the already heavy work load. I will be getting intouch with kicker so they can provide some decent door components. Going to be doing a littler fiberglassing to the doors. Then we will be building a center console as well.

We still have to do the bridge. This will also tie in the shocks. It won't be simple & it won't too much.

Looking good man. And I was surprised as hell to see that 1 ton Silverado a few months ago at Taco Bell. I'm not a huge fan of bagging a truck that low, but damn it looks good. I'd love to see your truck some time since we're on the same side of town (I'm right off Bay Area and Space Center).
