Hot Rods Not your ordinary 1940 Dodge pickup build

The truck is there on display in Daytona turkey run at the 59 covered parking spot...come check it out!

 

More pics from Daytona...

Door panel on the passenger side wasn't done on time (damn interior guy) as was other stuff but it runs, drives So screw it for now...

 

Looks fantastic

You get one big Attaboy

 

Love this truck!!! Especially the industrial/mechanical aspect of the build!

 

Yea, the fabrication is top notch, and it's a unique vehicle, blah-blah-blah.

But I didn't know you could PAINT a rat rod.

'nuff sed.

 

Looks Good! You built what you wanted, not what everyone expected!

 

Great build, I think it looks great.

 

You have given me alot of cool and new ideas. Thanks for sharing the build with us. Now I have to rethink how I want to build mine.

Is there anything yet that you would have done different?

 

my bro has some last minute fixes...



and everything is fine, back on the 300+ mile trip home...

 

Nice Truck.

I just started on my 41 Dodge truck.

Hope to have it done by spring. Will be called The Beast...

coolest truck I've seen! excellent job!!

 

Any video of it on the road?

 

WOW this is way beter than three stars, I'm votin f#ckin awsome!

 

You're an ass, Greaseball.......'nuff sed. Let's see what you have built.


Don't know how I missed this one at Turkey Run, wish I had a chance to see it in person since I have been following this build. Great looking hot rod with some fantastic fabrication on it. This hobby would be pretty boring if all we had were 29 Fords on Deuce rails (and I love 29 Fords on Deuce rails) but you get what I mean.

Idiot...
I guess "nuff said" is another form of "just say'n"
This appears to be the keyboard hero's way fo validating their stupidity

 

That is DEFFINATELY not your ordinary '40 Dodge build. Thank you for doing your own thing. The same old thing gets boring and where ever you drive that truck you are going to have a crowd around it! Traditional, non traditional, rat rod, jalopy it doesn't make a shittn bit of diff to me. That truck is a bad ass HOT ROD!

 

I would like to see a video from inside the cab looking out the windshield going down the road

 

ill be sure to post some vids next week when im in town...thats a good idea fir sure

 

Love it !!!!!! Can i borrow the motor for 1 wk ? Did a great job man so cool its hot !!!!!......................YG

 

Bitchin' build! Why some have to chime in with 'it's not traditional' after the the OP actually said exactly that in the FIRST POST is beyond me! It's the sort of wild attention getting creation that captures kids imaginations - like monster shirts & Roth cartoons - and makes 'em grow up into Hot Rodders!

 

Like everyone else has said, that is one bitchin "rat rod"!! I wish I owned it!!

 

Awesome truck! Great job! What size,brand, front tires are you running? Where can I get some?

 

Tried to go out for a drive but the air compressor for the air suspension went out...so just some pics of the car as is right now...

I look like a gorilla in a cage in one of the pics...

 

heres a couple of videos:

Yes I would have started sooner

Glad I could help !

 

Living and learning buddy, try harder, one day you get there

 

Thank you everyone for the feedback, been busy as hell at the shop so sorry for the little replies

Thank you Erick (erlpmd) for coming by brother !!! Thank also for all your help and inspiration throughout the biuld !!!!

 

no problemo! now to show off this sweet machine! and start the next build....wonder what that would be?

 

I don't know what some people think a Hot Rod is, but in my book, yours would be at the top of the list! A Chopped, Fenderless, Hemi powered beauty!!!!

You should be very proud of what you have done.

 

how hard is it to drive with that steering wheel? Awesome man, really awesome. I like the series of pictures, Put it together, take it apart, put it together, take it apart, why dont you put it together? awesome, now take it back apart. LOL but thats how it goes
