She needs the correct hood and cowl, and the wrecker bumper needs to be higher (right under the grille), but add a winch, fog lights and front turn signals, and she's there.

As I've said before, I've been infatuated with the S&S macho for nearly 30 years. I missed my chance to buy this one, which I'd say is about 90% complete, and 90% perfect. One day I will own one, even if I have to build it myself. I'm just so unbelievably sorry I seem to have pi*sed off Kenny, the owner of the real S&S truck to the point he doesn't post here. That was a MAJOR screw-up on my part. So much great information, and so many potential photos lost.

It's always puzzled me why the hood wasn't black. Perhaps the real S&S Macho needed a new hood and they painted it wrong before it made its appearance on the show. The roll bar needs black foam rubber tapped around it too. ;) This is a hot looking truck! I'd love to have one like this.

The red hood always puzzled me as well. I like it though. It really wouldn't take much to finish this truck. I don't know if the correct hood could be used without changing the cowl or not, but I'd definately put the correct one on. I'd also figure out a way to raise the front bumper to just below the grille. The winch would be hard to find now. I like how the builder correctly mounted the roll bar lights, and left the front side marler lights off. The devil is in the details.
