So what's going on with the hood? You're not going carbon fiber are you?

The rest of the truck looks GREAT though!

Mike,
Seeing and playing with all your toys prior to getting them installed just really didn't do any justice to what the finished product would look like! Dude, you got the eye of an artist! Pimpin' with STYLE! :treeroot:

I Have to agree with Kevin, there are many good craftsmen and technicians in the club, but to add the Artistic touch

If the guys from "pimp my ride" could see you now, they may just have to give you a job! ... I can see it now, instead of a "Yanko" or "Chip Foose" car, you could get a "Tree Root" ride ....

Keep the pics coming!

Right on!! I wouldn't let those pimp my ride yahoos near a car of mine but I'd let Mike at my 80 in a heartbeat and say "Have at it maestro"

 

[Bikeman]

Looks real good, 'root.

 

[MDH33]

All the kids at the Mall are going to be so envious.

Looks outstanding.

 

[Jenny Cruiser]

Very nice. I want to see it up close.

 

[Uncle Ben]

Had the honor to see the white bird up close today. OMG!!!! It looks awesome in pictures, but pix do it little justice! This beast is beautiful!!!!!!!! to Mike, for a job very well done!

The devil is in the details and Mike did an awesome job on the truck. He even made me a deal that I could barely refuse on it

hmmmmm....guess you found your white 80...eh?

I attempted to replace the side mirror and broke it into a thousand pieces....

Good thing lucky sevens cancel out 8 years of bad luck

Bringing this back from page 4...

Most voted on light sides and a dark center. Is this the opposite of a 40th anniversary version?

The door panels, armrests, and console will have to be the lighter color.

You can all laugh at me later, my biggest sponsor is Visa.

Looks sweet Mike.

How is that vented hood doing?

 

[corsair23]

Man o man o man....

I have SO been wanting to add louvers to my hood and you found someone that can actually add them?? VERY

I hope the guy wants to do more...If you get a chance to do some temp comparisons I would be most interested in the data

 

[wesintl]

totally pimp. only someone like you would know the 7 and 9 louver difference.

 

[nakman]

Rig looks awesome, Mike, just beautiful.

 

[Rock Dog]

been waiting to see the vents with paint on the hood. I said it before, and will say it again, it is becoming a rolling masterpiece
The vents are the ticket to reducing under hood temp, but you are the first one to actually do something about it...
