Bob has been cuttin' and weldin' for over a year on this rod and today it saw the sunlight for the first time. Backing out of the garage for the first time. Time to take her around the block Bob always has to check the tires for smoke during the first ride Bob gives her the thunbs up
Here are some construction photos from last winter. Bob did all the work himself including chopping the top, modifing the frame, suiciding the doors, making the headers and more. You guys know how much work goes into a project like this.
WWWOOOOOOWWWW that is GORGEOUS. Awesome work! Any idea of the hours?? I know I never keep track though lol. looks great keep us posted.
Nice work....and it's running a nailhead which is always a plus. -Lee Atomic Radio www.atomicpinup.com
Coolio truck! I respect the opinions of others, and in turn, expect the same treatment. Having said that......I love seeing other fenderless truck cabs on heavily massaged frames with "outside the box" hot rod treatments. The Hup grill is soooooo cool! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration. I'll be building one of these "bobbers" as soon as I get my full-fendered 46 on the road!
Absolutely love the split rear window and the grille! Pop out front window is pretty fool too. That is one mean looking little truck!
Nice back windows. Maybe shorten the grill to the top of the crank hole and add a "chin" to it like on a '40 Ford Deluxe?
I don't know, for some reason I can't get down with that grille but the rest of the truck is SICK. Love the rear windows!
When I grow up I want to build one just like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great job, now dont go back in that garage, Just keep cruising.
Now punish your neighbors with more open header burnouts.....it will make me feel better knowing "the neighbors" are catching hell.
Here are some more pics with some info on the car. Bob with his car. '46 Ford truck body, Chevy frame15" Z, Model T box, '65 Buick nailhead 425 w/auto, Chopped 7", Channeled 18"- '36 Hudson grill shell, '37 Ply front axle- Custom Frigidare air cleaner cover- Split window made by Bob, '48 ply tailights- Bob hopes to have this car at the Hunert Car Pileup.
Damn, and this look so much like what i'm building right now.........including a 401 nailhead... even down to the chop, and the bed. Might change my rear window now though............and my grill is by way of a Goodman air conditioning unit. AAAAAAHHHAAHHAAHH...This has definately fixed the motivation problem I have had to get out in the shop and work on my shit for a change..........fuck the customer's until I get it finished....
I love where you are going with it, especially the back window(s) any thoughts on sectioning the grille?
