I was cleaning out my tool box and stumbled accross the magazines I had saved of some of the old show cars I built. Figured I would scane them and throw them up here for you guys to enjoy.
This first one was a chevy single cab we did for a customer. He had the balls to let us go to town on his ride and completely hand fab his whole interior (dash and all)

Take note of the Acrylic steering wheel we made...it actually was LED lit and glowed at night also the arm rests in the doors were lit this way as was the center console.
We also deleted the guages on the truck and found an interface that played the guages through the monitor molded into the dash.

A couple of the custom touches in this truck are,Custom center console that housed the woofers,Changer. PS2 mounted in where the passenger airbag would have been. Custom suspension, and over 120 body mods. custom made door panels.

One of the most noticed things about this truck was the Mini fridge mounted in the center console.:beer

Another single cab chevy that we did, this guy and the owner of the first truck were friends. we started both builds at the same time...and then the first one took a wrong turn somewhere and went a completely different direction. This truck was a clean truck and was actually a daily driver after we finished it.

This was a truck we built as a Demo truck. I never got a copy of the actual article it came out in but this was a pic from one of the Ads it was used in in a New Zeland Magazine.

This one is still one of my favorite trucks I ever built.I was in charge of every aspect of thebuild of this vehicle. I was given a stock truck and a blank check. the customer wanted a show truck.This was also my first Cover vehicle.

yah...the paint work started to go bad (bad body mods) and the green faded really fast. after the second season of showing it it got completely reapinted to blue and silver. I saw it about a year ago for sale on a used car lot in corona. who knows what came of it aftter that. it was definitely pretty extreme for its time.

Nice work.
It is nice to have such a complete "portfolio" of your stuff, 20 years from now you'll still be able to look back on what you've done. That is cool, and will become even more so as time marches on.
