Spacetruck update pics

[Plowboy]

You may have read in another post that my buddy Russ painted the spacetruck this weekend. Here are some pics. The grille and all the interior trinkets have yet to be painted.

Bed

[Plowboy]

It looks lighter in the pics than it really is. It also looks kinda aqua. It is actually VERY blue. PPG Big League Blue to be exact.

That truck was cool unpainted, now it's Killer..

[Suede]

That is an awesome truck and the bed is even cooler yet. What was the pick ups bed made of?

[DrJ]

That looks bitchin just like that!!!!!

IF you're going to do any graphics on it, study the LOGIC behind the way Roth laid out the panels on Beatnick Bandit and how Watson did his first (and in my opinion best) panel job on his '58 T bird.

Sweet! Looks great! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Church]

What's up with the baby blue cars/trucks today? SWEEEEET!

[BARNETT]

Damn, you're making serious progress!!! Looks great!

[praisethelowered]

you rule- looks great. is there a drawing of the graphics you could post?

[Plowboy]

No graphics. Maybe just some pinstriping on the body lines.

[40StudeDude]

Certainly do like the looks of that Plowboy....

[Max Gearhead]

Sure looks good with color on it. That color will go good with your new rolling stock. Very cool! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Kulturepimp]

Prtty damn bad ass.... Hope to see it soon

[zman]

I REALLY dig the spacetruck, I shouldn't but I do. And I really like it in paint...

[Machinos]

Wow! How'd you get a gasket for the trunk, also?

[autocol]

machinos...

down here there's a shop called clark rubber, of which i'm sure the states has an equivalent (or twelve) that sells all sorts of rubber and plastic products, including weather stripping of all kinds in lengths that you can just cut to size.

[Mai Ki-Ki]

Wow..love that thing..and the "boot"/"trunk" is sooo cool..haha


Cheers! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[beatnik]

Very Cool! Can't wait to see it in person at some of the events this year, that is if I can get through the crowd that will be around it.

[abomber30]

bitchin dude! Those ppg blues are really weird when it comes to picture taking the wagon looks green in some pics. I like it! man wheres my radirs!

[roadstar]

I think I'm gonna cry http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I get so emotional when I see something so well done.

Kustombuilder said it best though...

That "IS" gonna be legendary.

[haring]

What is the plan for the front end? This is begging for a wild grille shell and dual headlights. What about fenders? If you don't use full fenders (cut down along the running board end), what about some swoopy cycle style fenders? These could match some of the style of the rear fins. Just a thought.

[whizzerick]

Man, I LOVE these updates! That is a WICKED machine.
(Sorry about this, I had to try it on).

[hammeredabone]

Plowboy, that truck looks outstanding!!Can't wait to see pics of it heading on down the highway!

[TINGLER]

What a waste of time. I liked it better as a 2 ton bean hauler with the picnic table flatbed.... (just joking) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyone who has a functioning set of eyeballs attached to a semi-coherent brain should agree.....THE SPACETRUCK RULES.

[Plowboy]

Thanks for the good remarks!

The funny thing about my trunk rubber is that I bought one for a 60 Buick, and after I cut it to fit, I had enough to go around it again since I cut so much out of it.

I ordered my wheels and tires for it. I am kind of nervous to see how they will look on there. Radir doesn't sell a 5 inch wide wheel so I got 6 inch wide ones for te front and 7 inch on the back. The front tires will be 670-15's with a 1 inch whitewall and the back are going to be those tall triple stripe jobs.

[choprods]

Plowboy- thats just plain KILLER!what is that stuff on it that reflects your graven image ? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifWe should all try and get some of that stuff........whats it called again? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[DollaBill]

Stunned amazement...

You are my hero. This thing redefines "thinking outside the box", insofar as there IS no "box"....you've established a new paradigm.

Yay.

[Plowboy]

Butt....I hope to have it at GG Indy and Louisville

CAS, I am thoroughly enjoying the "sex toys". Give Ernie my best.
