Grrr, i really want a pick-up now. Yours is going to be a stunner mate. Silly question, where is the fuel tank/filler neck going?

[winter]

where the cab has been stretched, cap is there and tank is in usual place. im thinkin about a stainless one in the loading bay

[CanadianMiniFan]

Sweet project. Is that the big jap spoiler? or is there a bigger GT style wing to come...silly question but i'm interested.

looking good

WOW! ive always wanted a pickup, that will look great matey, what colour you gonna do it?

[Retro_10s]

cooor,if that was mine i'd respray it almond green (or some other vague retro colour) put some reverse rims on it with chrome caps.. and make a 60's-early 709's-esque looking racer pickup outta it with period mods...

Looks a stunner mate... interesting exhaust... will more than likely hamper your power though if using an A-series

There's some real vision in this pickup mate... hmmm i like it. muchos potentialos

What arches are those?

I'm kinda glad you took the exharsts off... it really didn't suit the Pickup!

But rock on pickups! I really wish I never sold my old one!

[winter]

i like the reverse rim idea

[miniboo]
