[IronCladLou]

I feel like I've time-traveled back to 1998 or so and somebody is modifying their 80 series that they bought new last year. Awesome work!!

Can you give us a close up of that fender emblem?

Is this primarily a mall Cruiser?

 

[Overland Tailor]

Looks absolutely amazing....

 

[cruiserdan]

I believe there is some dust on one of the tires.....

 

[UltraFJ40]

My goodness. That is stunning, congratulations on the rebuild, nicest one I've seen.

Very nice set up, did you modify the short bus or paint it? It looks more robust than the one's advertised on their website.

Short bus bumper is powder coated Steel Grey Pearl

Impressive work. Really awesome to see this level of detail.

 

[citadel]

thanks guys.
I am still working on a few things to get it to the level I want.
Lots of guys have been super helpful on the forum over the last 10 years I have been on it.
I also am having some success sourcing hard to find trim parts from members. Some of them brand new NOS parts.
I have a few more tough to find parts I need to source and then the interior will be done.

Very nice to see an 80 get that type of treatment. Reminds me of why it was love at first site for me when these rigs came out in the 90s. Even better now!

 

[mtnzorro]

Amazing work. Absolutely love it.

Any pics of the engine bay? When is the V8 goin in and did SLEE say how much it would cost?

 

[citadel]

Bolt ripper had the conversion done by Slee. I may do it next year. It isn't cheap but I think it is awesome.

 

[Guambomb]

Awesome!!!

How did you get the Katzkin Leather? They don't show it on the website... I contacted them about leather for my 100 and they told me it wasn't available.

Looks real nice. You are the envy of the 80 section.
How's the quad projector cut off? Did you add the highs to your existing modded lights or start fresh?

Beautifully built truck, congrats! I am a fan of new old trucks, you pick the level of technology you want in it and build to suit. Well done sir
