Nice paint job...

that really is an awesome paint job!

i think they went a little overboard on the inside, but that's just me

the TVs in between the suspension is unnecessary too
 
Here is a similar one that I saw at the Kansas City Auto Show earlier this year:

paint is intense, just wish it i was on a wall, or a canvas, or in a public place where it might get some public attention as opposed to being in some dudes garage stuck to some crazy pick-up truck. granted, i am sure this goes to the local show every weekend but its sad that all that effort went into something so useless.

not to be disrespectful to the theme AT ALL (really trying not to rag on it, because i know someone's heart and soul went into this machine) BUT i think that thing is a big waste of money and time. just think what all that money could have actually gotten you. i would personally had more enjoyment and satisfaction of DONATING the cost of the truck to a purposeful and WORTHY cause so it might actually bring of some good insted of remind us how idiotic war really is. i guess when you own something like this you are telling people you have much more disposable income then you know what to do with.
 
Not only is that an amazing paint job, the mechanical work on that truck is nuts. The interiour is a bit much, i'd go nuts.

Ford Trucks > GMC
 
That was painted by Mickey Harris. He's an amazing artist. I've met him a few times. I didn't ask him much about that truck, all thought its amazing, and i can't immagine the time put into it.
He had just finished this truck when i met him.

The rig to over 1 year to paint, working on it non stop.
Cost $130,000

Check out some of his work on his site. www.mickeyharrisart.com

Oh yeah, the same person who owns the rig owns the Heros truck too!

I saw that truck a show in SLC, UT. Very nice tribute, but the missing from the picks-the whole body tilts to reveal a Twin Towers mural on the underside of the cab.
