What a beauty and a perfect green to boot! Something about the hood looks different- has it been chopped?

Wow! That's sharp looking. You did a great job of keeping the mods subtle but eye catching. Very nice!

Did you section the body in order to pancake the hood?

It appears the cab was channeled to match the pancaked hood. Look how close the door bottoms are to the running boards. Very well done!

That's nice. The more I look at her the more mods I see. And it all blends
so well together.

I was at Mike's house a few months ago and saw the truck up close. His workmanship is excellent. Lots of places where you know somethings different, but you can't put your finger on it. It flows very well and doesn't have that modified look. It's like Ford updated and restyled the F1 in '53 instead of building a new model.
