His description of all the little details that go into picking the colors and leather, trim, and knobs is exactly the level of car designer/builder that sets you apart from everyone else, You touch everything making it more usable, ergonomic but respectful to it original design.

So is the price.......and a lot of that is taxes in California on everything from his building overhead to fees out the wazoo and payroll for employees who have to make enough to survive in one of the most expensive and repressive states in the country. NONE of that is this guys fault but I can't help but think he could save huge on the cost of building these in Texas making them more affordable and him making just as much profit. California does not deserve quality artisan guys like this anymore.

We're caring for this beauty for Tony and I even had the pleasure to drive it. As great as this video is, it cannot truly convey just how amazing this truck is. The color inside and out is spot on, plenty of power delivered smoothly, and handles better than a good number of the sports cars I've driven. Jonathan knocked it out of the park on this thing!!

Where to begin…the truck is extraordinary. Especially love the backlit gauges that have digital functions - brilliant. Jonathan is a good host who explains the minutiae with controlled speech that helps viewer to absorb the details. Love the color and the 6.2L - I’d get one with 6spd manual. Amazing vehicle 🇺🇸👍

Boy Mr. Ward, The rendition of the ThriftMaster is nice. But, the actual ThriftMaster you Re-Created is absolutely hands down "Drop Dead Gorgeous" John, I like to think I'm as "Geeky" as you are when I build a vehicle. But, every time I watch your completed builds you blow me away. You are a "Master of the Geeky Details" Which is what makes you ICON's stand out and I mead REALLY stand out! I'm building a 1984 Dodge Ram W350 Long bed Crew Cab Cummins Turbo Diesel conversion and have been taking notes for sometime to incorporate some of "Your Geek" in my project. Always enjoy your shakedown runs and detailed explanations. Thank you for sharing another "Masterpiece" Hope your head doesn't explode from the drooling dribble compliments. 1000 Thumbs Ups !!! Thanks, Ron
