Projects 1936 ford pickup build thread

We're getting ready to tear her down for body work and paint so I figured I would start a build thread on her. My grandfather, dad, and a couple of close friends all get together once a week and build hot rods. This is car number 6 since we started doing it about 5 years ago. hope ya enjoy.

 

It's looking good!

 

Great looking truck, and nice fab work! I dont care what they say, fenderless trucks done right are cool.

 

I'll be honest, I am not a huge fan of these style trucks but the fabrication work is outstanding. I love the tailgate latches. Well done!!

 

Now that's a great lookin truck! And ya get to work with dad and grandad too!
Priceless!

 

Now that truck says "Hot-Rod".

 

I really like the way you handled the bottom edge of the bed sides. Made it follow along the cab. Super cool touch!

 

yea, nice truck, and X2 on the tail gate latches..

 

very nice work ! especialy the beads on those bed sides , nice fab work

 

just caught the mechanisms for the tailgate latches instead of chains ! pretty slick i assume a pin will drop through to hold it in place ! any better close up shots of them ?

 

F'd up!.....is what I usually think about these trucks, but you nailed the look with the contour of the bottom of the bed flowing and mating with the bottom of the cab.

Not to mention all the cool fab stuff......cool!

 

Great looking truck!!

 

What steering box are you using?

 

FUCKIN' PERFECT! excuse me, i mean nice truck... i like the way the frame leads into the cab... I'm going to have to bookmark this thread so i can steel some ideas

another good looking truck

 

Nice job, good lookin truck.

 

Uffda... These style trucks are "so last year", but DAMN I love this one! Way to go on the fab work- I love all the louvers and flatty and... yeah. Very nice job!

 

nice job

 

There is definitely some good fabrication going on with this one. I'm hoping this style of build will fade into the sunset in the future. There have been way too many bodies ruined on this "look at me style" that will never contribute again to any sane style build. Even Rudy has moved on....................time for the lemmings to follow suit.

Everything except the grille...looks too squatty body...needs to be narrowed or something.

 

Very well done!!!
