    so it appears that OZ-T knows the guy, or at least is in the same area. is there a way to summon the wizard of OZ-T?

    Dang! I was hoping maybe you knew him. well, I'm gonna try and replicate something like it for my Fronty. If you guys like when I get er done I'll post pics of it and the build process up. Thought you might be interested after all this. hopefully it'll come out really cool like that one. I have found quite a few references on other similar type builds.

    If you google " cedar strip truck caps " or similar , you'll get quite a few hits , it's basically built the same way you would do a cedar strip canoe , in fact I think that truck belonged to a guy that built cedar strip canoes and boats

    One can never have too many light bars.
    So when i first saw this I was thinking OZ-T was Blue T and was thinking that you guys were just trying to fuck with the frontier guy.

    Oh that's perfect.:thumbsup: exactly what I was lookin for, except possibly for the fiberglass. I was hoping to avoid buying that much glass. $$$


    Negative. :cheers: I'm on the frontier forum too, and I actually like the formatting of you guys website better. My nexy truck may be an F150 (family roominess) but I may have to try to carve out a spot on yall's Taco:taco: site for fronty's just because I hate the Frontier forums website format. :devil: hehehehe

    and you guys have better smileys!:drunk:
