Well thought I would throw up some pics Off the back burner after 5 years and it's time to get it done. Wifey's 55. All fitted and going for final bodywork then glossy black with flake. Truck is shaved and smoothed, Uses a Cordoba IFS and 9 inch posi, Will have Caddy bullets in the roll pan. 351 W with c-4. with AC and power everything, The tilt clip is automated with a conv top unit. As it stands I will keep the white letter tires on it. I kind of like them on a black vehicle ( I am such an 80's guy). (gold chainer remarks here, __________________________________) Not real traditional but 100% built by me, I have not, and will not write any checks for the work. Dave
No gold chainer remarks from me... I love this truck with the white letters... One of the many inspirational pics I use while working on my 53. I think it's a hamber's. -B
Dave, I was the kid who bought some steel wheels off you like 2 years ago, I was wondering last week how your truck turned out, I was sure you had it done Looks great!
The flake has landed, came out great, The flake was applied over 4 coats of clear and under 4 coats. Can't wait to rub this thing out. Dave
Been working on it between other projects, so here is the latest. Seems like a lot more work to go but much closer and looks like a truck again after 10+ years! Needs to be lower though!! Dave
