What the....did you put a surveyor's level on that thing or something? Lol.
EDIT: I see now....the words inside of the frame are crooked. Thanks a lot SCORGE...now it's driving me crazy. Lol.
Looks great Mike. That's a pretty good idea for an award for TOTM.

I agree, I like the idea of something like a dash plaque or maybe a vinyl sticker? Something small, but something that recognizes the truck and gives the forum some publicity! Just my $0.02...
As far as a theme, how about a 'senior members' month (not age, but join date and/or post count)? Or classics (I'd leave the definition up for debate on what generation qualifies as a classic)? Or maybe a Unicorn (unusually optioned or something that makes it truly a unique truck)? I'll keep thinking of new ideas...

Skimming through this and you guys talking about badges and such, then I notice several winners putting their winner date, ect in their sigs. @Lenn what are the odds we could have a badge here on the forum? Maybe something like the 5 year, 10 year, supporter badges but for TOTM winners?

I like that! I can add one for a broad “TOTM WINNER” but I can’t add one for each specific month/year because it’ll clog up the control panel.

Positive Mental Attitude
New guy here... I searched and didn't see many recommendations for limited budget build classes.. Something that lets more guys have a chance to win doing significant mods on a budget.
Example... modern trucks at least 20 years old, with 2 or 3 classes. i.e. Trucks at least 20 years old (Not hot rod classics) maximum total cost upgrade classes of $1500, $3,000, and $5,000.
Now high school kids working part time can win fixing up their dads old truck. Upgrades have to make sense... your uncle can't give you a free supercharger for the $1500 class., fine if your three thousand dollar 1999 F150 already had a supercharger and you spent 1500 modifying it. I think you need to do more than 1 mod also. Maybe, cut the top off, new wheels, tune up, new lights, and a paint job.
Lastly tell us about your budget build. Where the truck came from, Who gave it to you if that's the case and what does that person mean to you. I have stuff my father gave me I'll never part with. Funny stories about the truck. etc... Kind of like a featured members build. It should go without saying but you need to be able to explain what you did to the truck.
