Hot Rods 1944 Chevy P. U. fenderless.

I hate the term hiboy when the hot rod is inches off the ground. If the mods don't delete this because it has radial tires and a Vega steering then I will take the time to do the write up. I will just say I won MEGUIARS MAGNIFICENT MASTERPIECE and CUSTOM CLASSIC TRUCKS Magazine TOP TEN at the Goodguys Charlotte 2005.

 

PROPORTION. . Shortened hood 3.5". Stock was too long. Chopped 5.5" in back. 5" in front. I don't like the wedge chops that are getting popular now. I even took a little more out above the windshield. I want to see out. With that much chop the roof looks like a school bus so I took 1" out at the drip rail. The rear window is 52 Ford truck. I forgot how much I chopped and narrowed it. [proportion] BRAKES. Buick front useing Frankland Engineering open steel backers. Rear stock Lincoln. Buick drums on 39 Ford hubs. I spent many hours prepping those hubs for chrome.

 

I'm not usually a fenderless truck guy, but that thing is bitchn. Very nice proportion and excellent detail.

Nice work, -Abone.

 

Realy nice! I always like the oval track influence...( wide fives, quick change)

 

WOW Dennis that's so cool! Gary

 

quality ride

 

More info on the wide five brakes please.

 

That's Bad Ass. If the mods delete it, tell me where you go from here so I can go hang out with you!

 

Very cool truck! Perfect proportions. Absolutely beautiful!
I'm very new to this site and I hope I'm not breaking any rules but is there a way to discuss your truck offline or privately? I'd really like to ask a bunch of questions about it.

 

Tire and wheel size please.

 

Great looking truck. Congratulations!

 

I’ve seen this truck in person. It is perfect.
Dennis, happy to see you showing your handiwork.
Take care. Rick.
