Video series that show the build of a custom car or truck are always fun to watch, and in some cases I really like seeing all the work, all the details, and all the drama. But sometimes I like an abbreviated build that shows off the details and the stuff I really want to fall in love with. That’s what this one is from Tre 5 Customs. These guys build some really cool trucks that I dig, and this one is no different. I’m a veteran of the patina movement, and don’t often like cars that have been painted to look like they are covered in real patina. Faux patina can be done well, but most of the time it doesn’t do it for me. This truck is the real deal, but building something custom from a car or truck that is covered in real patina isn’t the easiest thing. It takes real work to customize a vehicle without touching and ruining the original patina.
The guys at Tre 5 do a great job on this one and really work hard to make sure the truck is fully custom and built to drive, without ruining the aged look that can only happen with years of weathering.
This thing not only looks cool, but hauls ass. It’s got an LS3 with a 2300 Magnuson supercharger on it and a TR6060 trans behind it. So this sucker will do insane burnouts, there is not doubt. It has all the good stuff on it, so watch.
All 5 episodes of the video series are below. The longest is only 8 minutes long, so you can watch them all in one sitting.
two things i hate , rat rods because they dont look finished and lowered pickups because they dont serve any usefull purpose
