Hi guys, we are approaching our 3rd Anniversary of this great site, and for something different, we will be doing a BIG RIG TRUCK build... No little F- trucks, Rams etc, but big rigs, i think some of you call them Tractors... You can add a trailer if you want, no real theme other than that really. Go as box stock, mild or just all out wild, it's up to you. FINISHING date will be 31st OCTOBER 2019....o that is 3 months... and a few days  So there is plenty of time, as these things do take a long time to build, so start looking through that stash, i know there are a few of you, ( ME also) who have wanted to build a truck for a long time, but just never get around to it, SO NOW IS YOUR TIME....  Some ideas......     |

Cool rig. Those fenders always reminded me of Ming the Merciless. Dig his helmet.  |

It always surprises me that these custom trucks only seem to haul fertaliser or gravel, I think I'd look to haul something else like feathers or something that wont damage the paint,

Hello gents, My wife just went through New England on vacation and saw this in New Hampshire. She said when she pulled over to take pictures, several others were doing the same thing. It looks like something that Sasquatch would drive when he wants to get out of the woods and "hit the road". I thought you guys might like to see it. Enjoy.      |

That thing looks like it would go like a shot cat! Not to mention the soot from the 92!

It's only an opinion, but I don't like it !
All the proportions look wrong to me, it's too short at the back, too long at the front, as in the axles too far forward, and the front looks too high ! The cab is also mounted too high on the chassis and it really needs a grill !
I like some rat rods, but there's too many just being thrown together just to be different !
Thanks for posting it, but it's just my opinion. I'm certainly no expert,if the guy likes it then fine, good luck to him !

It is an unusual vehicle, but I wasn't even aware that Sasquatch could weld! |
