Projects 1930 Model A Pickup Build (my first build thread)

Man that looks great!
Gotta feel good to be driving it.

 

Congrats! It looks great!!!

 

Great to see this one on the road. I've enjoyed watching the build. You've done a great job, now get out there and drive the wheels off it!

 

Some of the builds are worth going over again and yours is one of them. You hit it out of the park my friend! It's just plan car porn. Roger

 

Wow man that thing turned out great! You really got me motivated to get back on mine now haha

 

Thought I'd post a few pictures from my recent road trip to Long Beach Washington for the 2015 Rod Run.

 

Your truck looks great man, great build. It's inspiring to say the least.

 

Thought I'd share a few pictures of my roof panel. I started with a 63 Meteor 2-door roof flipped backwards



I'm using epoxy to attach the fasteners


I had a stock roof kit with the long-grain pattern vinyl, here's a pic close to being done. Still need to iron out a few spots that resisted the spray adhesive

Not to hijack but if other guys are looking for a roof panel for the 30-31 pickup, mid 90s GM full-size cars are perfect. Here is mine with a 94 Bonneville roof panel.

 

No worries, mid-90s GM cars are much easier to find! Do you have a technical thread for that?

Aaron

 

No thread. But I have a few pics, I could start one.

 

awesome car!

 

I for one would like to see pics on this as I need to do this in the future. Bill

 

It's not really a build thread anymore, but I figured I'd post a few updates I'm making as I put miles on it.

Pic with the roof on, so far it works great.


Some interior panels I added.






And finally I added a hidden tool box / storage compartment. You can access it by removing a floor panel.


Looking forward to all the shows and good weather this summer.

Its like a moonshiners rig. Equipped with smuggling compartments and all.

 

Bitchin' in every manner.

Excellent result, sir.

 

Aaron: What a great build, love the finished 'look'. Would like to see
some close up pics of the finished roof edges. What edging did you
use to finish the outside with? I'm looking to do something similar,
but have not found the right materials yet.
Thank's, Rich

 

Turned out nice. Love the toolbox idea!

 

Love this build, stealing the gas tank and roof idea for sure

 

Man I love this truck. Plus it comes with such a amazing build thread. Its helped me through a couple tight spots on my own pickup

I've never been to the Portland transmission show thats been referenced a couple times, but hopefully I'll see your pickup there in real life this year.

 

Glad to hear it, thanks. Portland Transmission is for me the first milestone in a string of great events throughout the summer. Always the Saturday before Mothers Day, centered around 10th and Hawthorne. Hope to see you there.

This truck is just sooo awesome.

 

I love this truck. Congratulations on such a beautiful build. Anything new with it?

 

What a great build thread!

 

I keep putting miles on and it keeps going! Definitely some little things I’d do differently in the build if I could do them over but overall I’m happy with it.
