You've done a nice job on that truck, dude. Keep up the good work. If you haven't already done so, post a link to your first build thread in this update thread. Then, go post a link to this thread in your old one, so people can continue seeing your progress. Or put a link in your signature.
Did you rattle can that on or brush it on? I've seen the pictures on instagram to, looks really good Jonnny! Great stuff!
Wasn't a big fan of these year trucks,til I got mine. Now I love them.... Really like the way yours sets. Hopefully I can get the front of mine down soon.
Good work man! Its cool to see young people doing this..I don't wanna be the only 80 year old wack-job that loves hot rods, in 60 years. There's a TON of knowledge in hot rodding, hopefully we can gather some of it from those willing to share and keep it alive. Also, I find it hilarious that you're a "Senior Member" and still a "Minor" from a legal standpoint. Keep up the good work!
Thank you Thank you Thank You Thanks dude! Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you I think I did do the link thing, not sure I'll have to check Thanks, I rattlecanned it. It is Rustoleum gloss white, took two tall cans Nope, roof is done. Thank you Thank you, I dig your truck too, I can't wait to see it slammed. Thank you. Wow guys I'm blown away by all the replies in like the last 24 hours haha. I wake up and its like bam bam bam! haha
I love these years of Ford Pickups. The the rear view seals the deal for me really..... You're doing awesome with this thing. It's such a cool truck!!!
Great job on your truck. It sure helps to have support from family and friends. What's your dream project?
LOL Jon. "Build it and they will come" Great responses here from fellow Hamb'rs who have felt your challenges and struggles with their own builds and appreciate your passion drive at a young age. Its the youth like you that will keep this hobby alive and pass to the next generation. Its been an honor for me as well to have had the opportunity to help you with this truck. As I stated before your Grandpa is looking down at his legacy with a huge smile on his face.. Surely proud!!
Not sure what exactly my dream project would be. I would like to someday buy my Grandpa's old 52 studebaker back or build one like it as a tribute to him.
Looking look there kid! Well since this one close to being almost done.......How are ya gonna top it? I guess we'll have to wait for Hailee's build?
Just saw this, read the whole thing (don't ask where I've been either) but a very uplifting thread. Words like challenges struggles passion drive honor support polite considerate well mannered proud not sure about celebrity (just kidding). It really gives us old farts hope.Congrats young man you sir will go places.
What a fun read! It is so good to see a young man so interested in this hobby. I am sure many of us see a little of our own teen years in your thread Jon. Keeth your time and efforts in helping Jon were well spent. Hope you both have many more years of fun playing with Hot Rods! Oh, and Jon, hang onto that Hailee girl.
What inspiring build threads. You are HAMB Royalty now! Keep up the great work! That truck is so rad.
Jon-great build. Your truck looks great. The Volare subframe is a really great piece. That is what I put under my old truck(my truck was a 57 Chevy that was named the Roadkill Pickup). The ride and handling are fantastic. Keep up the good work. Later, Dick
Thanks to Dreadybear and Ryan for pointing us to this awesum thread. Well done and keep going. Scotty
I think it would be a great project, kind of a tribute to your Gramp. Is that you in the front seat? 52's aren't done too often, but I'm sure you could do it justice.
Dude, already been covered in the first build thread. Titled as a 59 but has a 60 front clip. Yes that is me in the front seat. My Grandpa painted the car red but I always liked it black. It was on CL a few months ago..sighh
