I realised that despite the large number of various threads I have here, I do not have a complete build thread. So, instead of just showing you some pictures of the finished product, I decided to compile a build thread. This is mostly for my benefit; I want a complete record of the transformation of my truck, but I hope that some of you enjoy reliving the build process with me as well.

I know I've left you hanging on some of my threads in the past, but I will see this one through to the end. Dont ask for pics of the finished truck, I'll get to that in due time.

Not a Panther fan, but that color does look good on it. I wouldn't paint the grill, but thats my .02

pretty sure I got it off that same guy met him in augusta ga and traded a cleanass supercharged mustang gt for the rado! That guy got one helluva a trade out of the deal but I have admired this truck every since it was completed and saw the chance to get it and the potential it has.. yes it is was going downhill quick lol, needed a lot of tlc...ive replaced the bags with the same set-up (re6s-re7s), paint job, 2 new viar 444cs, did a full interior strip, and now the bed makeover

I traded the truck for the '52 styleline... then some guy traded a static dropped fullsize on 24's for it. After that, some kid bought it that knew nothing about bags.... from that point idk who all had it.

It did have new bags in the front, but I'm pretty sure that the first guy I traded it to swapped them out for some old ones and put the new ones on his project truck.

Vehicles like this tend to change hands a lot before they find a good home. People jump in over their head because it looks cool, then they don't know how to take care of it properly once they get it. The last pics I got of it when that kid had it were terrible.

It's a great little truck, but it is what it is... it was my daily. So the interior was rough, and some of the work was rushed to get it back on the road. It's nice to see someone able to take their time and do it up like it deserves.
