Awesome fab work. Looks better than any ford truck from the 70's onward

It was not a hand made body...it was a standard army issue hmmvw body that had been media blasted to the bare metal. I worked on those things for six years....I know my hmmvws! That thing will be a straight up beast with a finished motor in it!

the hummer shell was not handmade...I'm telling you dude it's a body off of a late eighties military hmmvw....he then welded it to the ford frame. That body and hood are military...you can see that hood was shipped from FT. Hood texas and the body showed cammo spots on it in some areas...trust me this is something I've wanted to do since 2001 when I first start working on those things...
