Projects Gambino going to town on my 39

That truck is going to look very nice. I have always loved the look of the 36 passenger grille.

The metal work that has been done so far is beautiful and is definitely first rate. It will easily look as good or better than the rendering with this level of quality being built into it.

So far the look is bang on. Going to be one very cool truck.

 

Alex is getting close to completing the chop and soon I will be able to get it home an do all the body fitting ans set the nailhead and trans then back to Alex for the work on the hood and grille .

 

Nice work Alex! Keep the photos coming.

 

Very sweet metal work..........more more more .............Please!!!!!

 

Awesome Work Alex & Crew. You've got a great way to hold the Crown.

 

WOW! LOVE your design and project. Those Gambino cats are the bomb!

 

That is a cool way to take the roof apart.....looks great and nice fabrication.

 

Very cool project. Nice workmanship.........

 

Alex, nice work!

Don, that is going to be sweeeet! You going to bring it down as the 'push' truck? Lol!

 

Maybe in 2 years at the pace I am going lol

 

Pops29 I love the truck. I looked at all of the photos yesterday on FB. Great start to a very cool truck. Hopefully I can see it in person sometime

 

Was over at the shop last week saw your cab its lookin sweet Hopefully I will be driving my zephyr they are working on soon

 

So Don, give us some more details- what's going behind the 322 for a tranny and rear end?

 

Cant wait to see more progress! That man always does great work

 

Not much progress as of late,, The front fenders are about finished now. The tranny is a 200r4 to a 9" ford. I have been grinding smooth The block , heads and tranny getting them ready for powder coating . Alex Gambino and I have been working together on the cab, I have had to make some custom structural metal parts as there has been allot more rust damage than expected. Alex is really putting some special time in on this project and it will make a difference in the end. I do know this, Alex is going to use House of kolor paint and custom blend it him self.

 

I have finally had time to get back to the build. Alex is waiting for me to complete the chassis mockup. Here is the motor mounts and Tranny mounts I have built.




Here is how I built the Tranny Mounts . I Started by building with cardboard until I had it fitted up the way I liked it.



After measuring them out and braking them down into pcs. I did the drawing in autocad and sent the files to my laser cutter and I machined the tubes.

 

Now we started to fit the top and bottom pcs




After fitting, the welding is next






Here is the Tranny mount



With a little bit of grinding I will fit it in the frame Tomorrow and off to Gambinos It goes to fit the cab, fenders and start fitting the grille and hood

 

Looks great. I like how you rounded the edge of the tubes before welding them in to the crossmember. Thats a really good idea.

 

Thanks ,, That makes the finish work allot easier

 

Cant wait to see the finished product.Gambino is the shit!! Amazing work.

 

Holy Shit!

Don, you're work is amazing. This build will be the quality of any trailer queen out there, even though I know yours won't be a trailer queen!

I can't wait to see this in person!

 

I want to push the flatcad of the start line on the salt

 

AMAZING!!!! The crew at Gambino Kustoms is definitely up there with the best!!!!!

 

Can't wait to see this thing finished!

 

Really nice work going on here.I love the way that transmission mount came out.

 

That would be way too cool!

 

Here is a few pic's of the tranny mount fitted





and Now it's off to Gambinos so Alex can fit the real cab and front end .

 

Killer stance and look!
