Projects 1938 Chevrolet Pepsi Truck

Come on...is this guy for real??? I mean this in the nicest way possible...you make me sick. The whole time I'm reading this build I'm thinking to myself is this guy for real?? I think I'm just gonna sell my project and give up now. You are literally the metal surgeon. I'd never paint anything if I were you, clear coat...that's it. Wow.

Any chance I can swing by to look at this truck? I have a 1940 Chevy truck that I am getting ready to build

Thanks

 

Jon does the filler neck on the cab run all the way back to the tank in the rear of the truck?

 

haha,no ,it will be in the bed of the truck

 

Any paint yet Jon?

 

Incredible

 

patiently waiting

 

getting real close for final wet sanding

 

Can't wait to see this in colour, outstanding work as usual.

 

Damn awesome work.

 

Chassis in process off assembly.Bed in paint and polished.The Blue that was chosen by Pepsi bottling plant is a loud ,metallic with a tint of purple.The owners wanted the truck to be loud rather than the
original solid Pepsi blue.
Tom Hardy (HardysmodelA) here on thehamb is lead assembly on the truck and he's doing a fine job!

 

wow beautiful work on the truck ,

 

Looks like a great colour.

 

Perfect fitment on those body parts! Those lines just flow from one area into another. That is going to be one class act when done!

 

Beautiful build!

 

Cool to see the color stage beginning after all your hard work.

 

thanks guys much appreciated

Man that's beautiful!

Wonder how far the Pepsi cost is going to go up though
