OK, I'm lettin' the cat out of the bag, I'm GAY!

[Plowboy]

Not really, but I decided that I would "come out" with my new "top secret" project, the "back door buddy" or more likely, the "Lunar Lander" I was gonna keep it on the DL but I get tired of hearing people bitch and moan about not being able to do this or find that. There seems to be a lot of new folks around here that did not see the build up of my first "all done by me" project that I ever attempted, the "spacetruck", so maybe I can give someone some motivation to get off their ass and get something built this winter.

Since the spacetruck still needs interior, and I am saving up for it, I decided that I would try to see if I could build something out of a bunch of nothing for fairly cheap. I plan on using some store bought stuff like an axle setup from Speedway and I am sure some other components as I go along.

Here is what I am starting with. I bought a 4 door model A frame, cowl, and doors off of a buddy of mine for 200 bucks. The cowl wasn't as nice as I had remembered, and the doors all turned out to be BACK DOORS as we uncovered the pile. Oh well, I am a trooper and will carry on.

[Plowboy]

The two full size doors are some chevy sedan doors that I had lying around that I found somewhere. I am just hacking them up for skins to fix what is missing or rusted out on what I have. My home slice yngrodder gave me a pair of slant windshield doors with the tops cut off that I will also use. The plan is to make a roadster pickup out of all of this junk. The doors will be welded shut, more of a tub actually, and it will be "Sycamore Low" out of respect for my Dawg Drew up north.

Now the clincher, I acquired a suitable donor for the bed that was square like a model A but still had some character, a 59 Ols for 200 bucks. Man, what a pile of shit this thing is!

[Plowboy]

I have already sacrificed this pig and there ain't much left. Here is day one.

[Plowboy]

I have got everything into the garagenow and will begin getting it all stuck together. Some of you may notice that I now have a bar in my garage if you look behind this pile of junk. I plan on using it quite a bit this winter and taking my own sweet time on this project.

So the run down, 34 Olds grille 60 bucks (I know I paid too much but it was there) Model a cab, 59 Olds rear, and it will most likely have a 54 Olds dash. So far I am into this project for a whopping 500 dollars.

[Plowboy]

OK that's all the pics for now. What'cha think?

[Django]

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

What are you going to run for motorvation? Anything else you can strip off the Olds that will be useful?

[graverobber63]

I hope you've got a stedy MIG hand!!!

Should be neat. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Gotgas]

Got a little ways to go. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Should be interesting. So it's gonna look like a '59 Olds convert with a Model A windshield frame? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I'm sure you can do it. You've got balls to cut off the back half of that sedan. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Big A]

Aw geez, now you're going to have TWO of the coolest vehicles on the HAMB. You suck. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

For some reason I'm thinkin' Duvall-style windshield would work well with that Olds ass-end. Just a thought.

Lookin' forward to seeing this one come together.

[beatnik]

I knew you couldn't keep a secret. I'm digging it, gona Rule and hopefully drive more people to build something cool.

You're still gay

[cleatus]

Oddly enough...the bodylines from the olds to the T do sorta seem to work well together - after many long hours of tinwork of course - Good thing you put in a bar!

Should make the space truck look mundane by comparrison.

Looking forward to seeing this one.

Gonna do a Bat-Mobile double-bubble windshield for it? Looks interesting. I'll be happy just replacing the bottom 3 inches of a coupe.

[WildWilly68]

Plowboy I don't know where you get your inspiration from sittin in the middle of these corn fields... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Can't wait to see it.

[Farmer]

it must have come from alien encounters as a young man......
far out man. build it.

[CptStickfigure]

I think it'll be cool,
but I'm just a whiny newbie looking for parts, so what do I know http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[roadstar]

Thats he Gayest fuckin thing I have ever seen.

I like it so much I'm certian I must be gay now too.

Whats the engine gonna be in this monster?

I'll talk to you at the Pileup I'm sure.

[pigpen]

Far out! Does the Olds have an engine? That would work out nice. Or, how about the straight eight out of the Buick in the background? What is the grille shell off of? The whole thing looks like the beginings of something Roth might have done. Good luck.

[flt-blk]

Your space truck was inspiration for me and MarkX to plot a
similar project.
It involves 58 Fairlane rear quarters and a beat 40 Ford
truck cab. The race is on.
TZ

[glassguy]

hows the steerin wheel out of that olds??i have a 58 and the wheel is killer! lemme know if your gonna chuck it

[glassguy]

[Plowboy]

The Steering wheel may go into this thing.

Wildwilly bring down some beer some night and I will pour you a cup of it!

Flt-Blk this is merely an exhibition not a competition! How bout some pics of yours. I showed you mine, now its your turn.

Motovation will be from a Chevy 283 that is in the corner, unless my new website takes off and then I can afford to build a rocket motor for it.

[Unkl Ian]

Needs to use the 59 Olds doors as well to carry the fins forward to the cowl.
You could weld the Model A door tops on if you wanted a Coupe.

[choprods]

Congratulations on bein Gay-I hear those Farm Girls like tha kinda challenge..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gifconvertin ya you know!

Build it and we will cum http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif. I wish I had a slice of the imagination and forsight that you have. I drive myself nuts trying to come up with ideas for my car. later plmczy

[pigpen]

Gay! That means happy; right?


pigpen


USN, never again!

[PDX Lefty]

Damn and I thought I had found some one who could suck start my flattie when the battery is dead.
Keep those pics coming, looks like this should be very interesting.

[yngrodder]

Thanks My wife seen your post and threw away my favorite pair of pants that I was wearing yesterday. I told her that you were coming down yesterday to "hang out" and now she's wondering just what you did to make a hole in my pants! She told me that I couldn't hang out with you anymore, you might switch me over!!!! (When you hang out with gay people does it make you gay???)

[Rocky]

I am gay too! I must be because I think kinda like you. I was walking around my 52 Willys Jeep pickup this afternoon thinking of how I could build it..had some idears like yours.
This is me all dressed up in drag...

[Gas_Tires_Oil]

mmmmmmmmmm Jungle Pam... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[hotrodladycrusr]

You never cease to amaze me. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Rocky]

Yeah? Didn't know I could look that good, didja? Jealous?
Don't be..this is waht I look like in the morning...

[Plowboy]

Rocky, nice tits!

Mel, you are only gay if you are "catching". Since the hole was in the back of your pants, I'd have to say you've been turned.

[pigpen]

Great shot of the sty! She looks like my old girlfriend from San Diego. I called her "The Countess Cynthia".


pigpen



Every bullshit story I ever told you is true!

[abomber30]

hahahaha funny pictures I can't stop laughing at hasselhoof and arnold hahahaha. I am happy to say I have passed the hoarding torch to plowboy later looks killa

randy told me to send you this pic. he said I was steeling your good idears

[flatshoebox]

Holyshit, as of now 1070 of you have checked this post out on the title alone! thats fuckin rad! your all gay! Shit, I read it cause the title too, ah damit! nevermind! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Plowboy]

Drew, I think I have already sold my 56 chevy dash, so we won't be twinkies. Some kid heard I had one the next day and offered me 50 for it, he wanted it for his lowrider S-10. I said SOLD. I haven't seen any money yet, but I decided I wanted to keep the Olds theme going and use the 54 dash.

[Brooding Swede]

HAHAHA.. Plowboy Yah. VT told me you tried the TWO LANE BLACK TOP (Hand on the Knee) on him when you took him around the block in L'ville in the space truck. That truck will be another chick magnet and maybe VTingler will be a little more friendly in this new space vehicle HAHAHAHAHA..http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It will be really something to see I'm sure ... keep the pics. coming BS

[capricekid]

That is really cool. Cannot wait to see the progress.
Lil Joe

[Nads]

I like it, it'll be cool just like the Space Truck.

Say, is the windshield on the Olds any good? I need one for my '60 Chevy.

[Bass]

Okay..this concept had me a little curious (NOT gay/bi/curious http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif )...so I did this little rough sketch this afternoon. Sorry about the really shitty picture...I don't have a scanner right now.

I think it just might work! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[yngrodder]

That sketch is cool. looks like another winner Plowboy. I like how he molded the trunk into the body.

[pigpen]

Very nice work. I does look like something Roth might have done. Real zoomie!


pigpen

[Humboldt Cat]

Daaang! Seems like one of the trickiest parts might be getting the rear of it to match up - or not 'boat out' - with the front half, or the '29 half, but I love that yer goin' for such an outside-the-box concept for a car! Can't wait to see it really grow.

[Mai Ki-Ki]

Dammit Bass I though you were just some Smo who did the best flames around but guess i was wrong..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Plowboy]

Hey Bass thanks for the sketch! Can you send a bigger version to my e-mail so I can hang it on the garage wall for inspiration?

I was originally thinking making a square back cab and a narrower bed, but I got a different (wider) 9 inch rear end over the weekend (to replace the maverick 8 incher that is 49 inches wide) and I think that the carrying of the body line down the side may work out. We'll see. I did some measuring last night and it seems that if I make the ass end 52 inches wide to fit my 56 inch wide rear end (same as the spacetruck), I will have to narrow the rear by about 28 inches. 2 more than the Buick for the spacetruck.

Nads, the windshield is shot. My buddy just got one for his 60 Impala brand new from the glass guy for $350. I don't think he got a deal on it or anything. You may want to check out that option. I believe all the GM cars used the same windshield that year Caddy, Olds, and Buick.

[zman]

Hell yeah, that sketch rocks.... It gonna be a winner for sure...

[Plowboy]

Here is all that is left of the Olds. Check out that vintage air unit. I figured I had better take advantage of the mobile dumpster while I had it and get rid of some of the iron I no longer need.
