Projects ~~~Bad Bob's New Project!~ Chopped '60 Pick-up "Blue Balls"~~~

Skylark L'Orange is no more?

"You stay classy, San Diego"

I like the new truck,but I'm not buyin "the yellow glue" story line...

 

Seriously,it had white gorilla hair all around the windshield. Wait til I get rollin on it. It will be Ghetto Cool...

 

Bitchin truck

 

TOO MUCH!

 

stock rear bumper would be cool,stock door window height is 15 1/4" in the middle

 

MAn great score!
That poor truck had been for sale on and off since I was last in California.
Glad to see it went to a good home.

Viva

 

Okay...that means it's chopped 5".

 

... does that mean you're going to dress up lie Hadji when you dirve it ?

 

That extreme chop hurts my eyes, and the 2 tone paint only exaggerates it! It might look less out of proportion as a solid color. Can someone photoshop that?

 

Maybe...

 

Give me about a week or so,and see what I do with it...

 

Lookin' good Bob! This little truck has been creeping the 'Dago streets for years wearing the same outfit so I can't wait to see it evolve. And yeah, the eye-sore is now mine I actually put the thing in my name yesterday which is very rare for 'Trader Joe'!! Believe it or not, I have no immediate plans to sell it. Watching this thread like a hawk!

 

have a diamond plate bumper that im taking off my 58 here in Riverside,only bad thing is they welded it to the brackets

 

Are you planning on modifying the rear fender surrounds? they appear to have been lowered.

 

Is it an optical illusion or are the rear wheel/tires sitting too far back in the rear wheel openings? Not centered.That shouldn't be a difficult fix if they are...................Mike

 

Glad for you that the acid trip Skylark is gone, the truck has a lot going for it. I can't wait to see what you do to the truck, It'll turn out cool. Good luck Bob.....................I remember signing your HAMB banner at th Primer Nation one year.

Nice upgrade from the Skylark. What was the reason for parting with the '38 Pickup, I really liked the look of that one. Bob

 

They are stock. No plans to change anything.

I don't know if the wheels are centered. Hard to tell when it's so low.

 

Whoa!! they are lowered? That's weird!!! You can see the welded in pieces of the inside bed pic.

Nice trade Bob, I like it better!!

 

Now I have to go look....

 

You're right! They have been lowered 6"....
compare these two pic's...

 

You going for this look?

 

It don't look bad though!! that's a good thing!!

 

Sounds like both parties are pleased with the swap. Both rides have potential, and in their current colors will certainly get the response from anyone familiar here if seen in person " Hey, its the guy from that thing !!!! ".

Badfella going to the BB cookout? ( tearful reunion )

Updating rolodex:

Delete: "Buick Bob"
Add: "Race Bannon Bob"

 

FUCK YES!!! That's exactly what I want to do,thanks....

 

You mean..."Bandit Bob" haha

 

Bob's Bar Hopper...............but Bar Hoppin' without white gorilla hair?

 

Looking forward to see what you do to the truck. Maybe scallops to break up the sides?

 

Here's my plan for the paint....rough hand drawn concept.

 

those stock emblems rechromed and painted don't look too bad.
