wow , sgt 334 sure has come a looong way. good work marty.. and who said "no matter how much you polish a turd it will still be a turd when your done".. 334 is the exception to that rule.

But how much of that original turd is left :lol: ?

Re: Sonoma GT 0334 - Build Pics

you know i had this dream of opening my garage door and seeinga nicely decorated garage with my restored syclone sitting next to my (one day i hope) clean able to be driven ferrari 328gtb, yeah i do not want the targa. but my wife says icant have a car that costs that close to what we paid for the house........oh well.

That's easy to solve - buy a bigger more expensive house.

yep it's been the exception right along. This truck was going to be a nice driver so i could park the Marlboro. Who would have thought that i would sell the Marlboro so i could finish this beast.

Good Morning,

It's gonna be a good month.
Popular Hot Rodding just did a nice little feature on the truck in June issue.

Every Day it's getting a little closer to being complete.

Prior to the Article being published the truck was going to be painted at Rad Ride's.
However, due to schedule's and deadline conflict the truck is now being
painted at Kenny Davis Hot Rods.

Sweet. Are you hosting a GGL 07 where we can see it up close?

We are planning on having the GLG this year but it may be in a new / old location.

As far as Syborg being there i doubt it. It's getting blown apart and cut up again so we can finish up the paint and body work.

Good Afternoon all,

Okay it's time to let the Cat out of the Bag officially.
Last Friday Night we packed up the trailer and headed to Nebraska.

I wish you could see the front of the trailer -- it's packed with parts.

So you ask what's in Nebraska? The "Recovery Room" is in Nebraska.
This truck isn't ready for Interior is it. Nope !!

My father and I figured we might as well kill two birds with one Stone.
Kenny was dropping off the 57 at Tracy's - so we figured we should just meet at Tracy's.

I'm pretty excited to be working with Kenny Davis Clan.
They are great group of guy's and so far we are having a blast picking on Kenny.

Plenty more to come in the near Future.
So Stayed tuned as the next couple month's should be exciting.
Kenny Davis Hotrods

DOH! I meant 07, sorry.

That last pic looks like the body line from the back to the door is lined up until the fender looks off a little. Is it me, photo?

We are most likly going to have it after he nats. Since my summer schedule is packed already.

To answer your other question - Yep, s10 beds are wider then the cab. Dave already moved in the bed and now Kenny is going to be cutting up the cab and straightening it out to match the bed. The goal is to have them on the exact same plane.

The other thing we did is we flared the bed sides about 3/4" of an inch. Let me tell you my upper body has never been so sore. It was a job and a half.

Is it just me or does the cowl in your hood look rippled in the last pic?
