[**DONOTDELETE**]

Super cool John! That thing is lookin' GOOD! Love that grille- way to innovate instead of following the "formula"!

[flyin'eye]

Sano looking front perch, John.I like the curves on it. Did you make that?

[slazzen]

yeah thats the second one I made the first one was nice but the frame sat to high this one makes it sit about 4 inches lower Did you get to check on that tail gate its for this truck I have a 57 rear end its a little wide so Red beard came up with the wide bed Idea

[slazzen]

Neal I dont know what kind of grill it is I cut 7 3/4 inches out of it so it came from a big truck the spacers are made out of copper this thing will look killer polished up it has more stainless that surounds it too got it for $50 on e-bay picked it up in Ceres Here is what I started with

[momentumfoto]

nice work.... what was the grill filled with? (the center) I like it.

[slazzen]

it is stock stainless bars i just cut it down like 8 inches I am guesing REO or 30`s mack ???

[Farmer]

John, I can't wait to see what else you have done when I get home from work tonight. That grill is the sheeeeoooooot!
I think it is a REO. I remember seeing one along time ago.
either way, it's way cooler than a duece grill if you ask me.

[Zodoff]

haha,you just gotta hang on,and start building now,farmerjohn.. If you keep up with slazzen,youll be drivin a modified in no time..

[Farmer]

zodoff, i'm saving as we speak for a correct, nice build up of a 30-31 rpu, highboy on duece rails. it'll take me a few years of saving and working overtime, but i want an o.g. or repop steel body, and repop rails with a members in em. I started off in a hurry with the last project....i'm gonna take my time on this one. I have lots to learn in the mean time, but I already have some nice parts tucked away for the above mentioned rpu. But, right now, the family is first, gotta get that solid, then ease into the garage in time. For now, I get my garage fix at Slazzen's house. I have the 55 buick to keep me busy. I plan on driving it down to Paso, so I gotta get on it.

[dondanno]

FarmerJohn ROFL. Thats right it will be fun cant wait, due around the middle of March http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif.DonDaddyo

[SamIyam]

Looking good Spicoli!

You are going to absolutely love roadster driving.

But I'm thinking you should ditch the back half of that pickup and turn that roadster cown into a SPEEDSTER!!

Get an old 40's hood of some kind... cut the doors way down... it'd be bitchen!

Sam

[slazzen]

Sam I got a 23 roadster cowl for that thats the next project with a 215 buick v8 under the hood just bought the steel for the frame at the scrap yard I am gonna use a 36 terra plane grill for that its gonna be off the hook

[FRKSHO1]

you need to hurry up so i can come and claim it, remember you promised to give me a modified? now that everyone likes it you forget about your little bro. keep up the good work you have come along way, pablo
