Project Gold Digger

HOOV3R · Feb 27, 2014

I've never been a fan of gold on vehicles, but I really like how this thing is looking. Should definitely be different from the crowd, in a good way.

That was the goal. Building something clean and classy that stands apart from all the red and blue lifts out there.

It really looks tastefully done, and not gaudy like most of the other Sema trucks.

Thanks man. Now the challenge is to make it look as good as the rendering!

For clean and classy I would lose the light bar on the roof. Seems kinda played out these days but that's just me. Nice truck...er...rendering regardless. Can't wait to see the finished product!!

What's up with that piece in the bumper? Is that gonna be a production piece? I think I saw that and a different valence piece on Kris' SEMA truck this year. Really cleans up the front bumper a lot.

josh@thedieselcartel · Feb 28, 2014

Yeah, thats a piece that Kris made for his truck. I am working with him trying to get it in production and I will help him sell it. Its such a nice clean piece that will fill up that bumper. Also his lower valance is killer.

You are going to love those front and rear trusses! You going with shock mounts on the rear truss?

Yes, the front truss will have dual icon stabilizers. Rear truss will have 4 Icon 2.5 CDC Piggy Back Shocks on it.

Done. Can't wait to see how this one turns out. You haven't let me down yet on your builds. Doubt this one will either.

Kris has some good style and taste which is why i chose him to do my rendering. Cant wait to see what he has in store for me on the final image.

Hey InMotionJosh, can you share what it costs to have a rendering like that done? Roughly maybe?
