Ok, the realism of that thing is scary to say the least. The skill it must take to creat a work of art like this. I had another thought for the electronics box tho... did you think about a cooler? EVERY redneck truck has a cooler full of beer, well at least half full. To solve the leaf spring problem you could possibly put clamps around parts to keep it from spliting.

Well as much as I hate to admit it I haven't done a thing with it since the rearend blew up.:-( I started putting my time into my 1:1 toys these days. I also have my 50's chevy to finish ( body is still at the painters )
But as for any further work on Billy Bob, I may end up on the choping block soon to help pay for other projects. As it stands now I have a ''Rat Rod'' coupe in mid build and a NIB TLT I haven't even looked at since I bought it about two months ago
If any progress happens or she goes up forsale I'm sure you guys will be the first to know!:-P

Just a couple new pics of Billy Bob as its sits now






It's on the block for sale now. I haven't officially posted, since I'd much rather not have a bunch of pms for nothing but if your reading this thread then you might be a fan
