There's already a couple threads about this. I have no clue why someone would do that, but some people have different tastes I guess.

Good idea, but not well done at all. They should have done it right and had the bed welded to the car to where it would look like it came from the factory like that. The tailgate needs some serious work too. If they had done it right, it would probably look nice (I still wouldn't buy it though). Transcamino.

This has not only been posted a few times, it will have the same fate as most all 'you gotta see this' posts like it.

If you'd like to discuss the tech of fabricating the vehicle, there is a post still open in the Fabrication forum.

Questions/comments, it costs 99¢/per word to PM me.



(joking of course.. it's only 75¢)
