Saturday my family and I drove to Spanish Fork to check out the truck. My brothers were amazed at how much progress has been made on the truck. The last time they saw it was when we were tearing it down to begin the restoration process. Since then we've rebuilt the truck from the ground up giving old Thunderpig a new chassis, firewall, cab floor, fenders, and much much more. With the truck pretty much put back together it was fun for them to see how different but yet the same the truck is. Styling wise the truck looks the same, but performance wise it should handle like a 2010 hotrod! And speaking of hotrods...
Heeeeeeerrrrrrrreeeeeee's THUNDERPIG!
Before I get to far ahead of myself though.. here are some earlier body work pictures.
Here is a close up of the rear fender work being done. Notice the extension of the fenders and the new custom fuel door assembly too!
To get a better idea of what the truck looks like with the recent body work, they sprayed the truck with a black primer. Looks good huh!
The truck sits down too low in the back so we'll either need to raise the rear up, or put 2" drop spindles in to drop the front down.

This is how the truck should sit. "Family Approved!" :)

We couldn't resist holding the new chrome grill up to to the front of the truck.. it looks really nice and appears to fit perfectly!
