Hot Rods some pics of whats been goin on with my roadster pickup !

Besides gotta drive em im to damn fat to push lol!

 

very nicely done. Cool color combo and dig the hint of red from the checkered items. Way cool,

 

thanks everyone , just sent my 40 ford deluxe steering wheel off to pearlcraft in australlia , cant wait to see it

 

Looking good, Brock!!

 

Awesome ride I love a roadster pick up, I myself have a 27 touring car that I have been driving for a couple of years now and have wanted to try and cut it down and make me a rpu but keep letting people talk me outta doing it. Can this be done and made to look right cause after seeing this one I'm ready to go with the idea

 

X2-Looks real nice-great choice on a mill!

 

it can be and has been done but myself having a touring or model a phaeton on my bucket list next would say keep looking for a rpu cab , they are actually fairly common

 

rarely see one down south

 

Talk about a clean lil build! I like the color combo.

 

Man that baby is lookin real sweet. Love the Ford mill, and everything I see is spot on bro. I am so old I remember staying in the Tall Corn Hotel in downtown Marshalltown. Keep up the great work bro. ~sololobo~

 

the tallcorn is still there though not what it once was in its glory , it's cheap apts for rent now that house alot of the towns less desirables !

 

been makin some good progress . wheel arived at pearlcraft in australia today , shop dogs are keeping a watchfull eye over me and being slavedrivers !

 

Some bullie humour for you, yes I have 2 of them also, neither one of the fat bastards would fit in the wagon though, TR

 

got my floor trans tunnel fabbed finaly , ready to shoot some paint

 

made some good progres in the past week , got the floor painted and color sanded and polished , i know no one will ever see it except from underneath , decided to checkerboard the bottom also just incase someone looks , machined a piece to trim out around the column pass thru and the hole for the brake pedal !always been a huge fan of robert williams artwork too , esp his one titled white knuckle ride with the lucky st. christopher , i was lucky enough to finaly find a 1940s st christopher be my guide medalion very similar to the one in his painting which wil go on my dash

 

also have started converting a 54 ford oil bath filter over to a paper conversion , lots of hours doing it but i wanted something factory looking and not the open element filter in all the pics i had on for mockup , will be painted red and have the factory winged super oil bath decal , should fit the part a little better

 

Man yours is gunna make mine look like junk! LOL!

 

Can't wait to get started on mine. Have acumulated a bunch of stuff and a new Pete and Jake's chassis. Sucks being a poor boy. Yours is coming alone nicely. Keep us posted.

Like I told the kid, "Your musics not too loud, its just like OKC, it sucks!"

 

Can't wait to check it out, its fun to see another Ford in a Ford!
