mrbigtanker Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I would patina the body and rest in on the frame so the people there can have a better understanding of the 521.Most people know the 620 but do not know the nicest truck on earth the 521.Just my 2 cents. 1 Quote Link to comment

pugz Posted October 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 well, unfortunatley some last minute things are gona keep this thing from making it to sema. just dont want to cut corners atthe last minute just to make it to vegas. ive got entirely too much money in this truck to start cutting corners now. but for an update. i had the link bars redone in 1/2" steel cut out on a water jet. and also had Ryan's sheetmetal Designs work my up a small displzy stand for it too now, since im not making sema, there is going to be some extra details added to the build, and im thinking about changing up the paint scheme also. i have a new rendering already made up, but dont want to post it untill the truck is a litte further along. so stay tuned to this. im not quitting, theres not going to be a stop, im still trying to raise the bar a little here and there on this thing.
