First hot rod build - Pics - 33 Ford Truck

i do a lot of looking here on the hamb, but not a lot of posting. so i figured i would start by going ahead and posting some pics of my first hot rod that i build from the ground up. i have bought cars and done a few things here and there but i have not done a complete car. it took me about 4 years to complete, mainly because i had to learn things as i went along. i had to make the cab bigger so that i could fit as i am 6'4". i posted a few pics of the frame under construction as well.

cab

chopped - 4.5"
channeled - 3"
widened - 8"
lengthened - 6"

Yeaooowza!!! nice job!

 

more pics

 

I saw your truck at the Round UP.
Really very cool,when I realized it was wider...I went around it again.
I took 5 pictures that whole trip,3 were of your truck.
Whatcha buildin' now?

 

wow! i dig it!
looks good!

 

i am still recovering from this build, but i am thinking a 38 chevy custom.

 

I think the widened cab really throws the proportions off. But the build quality is excellent, and looks like the metal work is very nice. I dig the headers.

 

WOW!! bitchin truck!

 

Never really like widened or stretched 32-34 cabs but you did a fine job of getting it goin. Although I love building cars for customers ($$) it makes me just as happy to see somoene go out on a limb and do it themselves. Good job

very nice truck !

 

Damn Dan - about time you posted up on here...... I like seeing the progress pics. Your truck still kicks ass. pm me your number when you get a chance, I lost it.
Thanks -

 

i never like wrapped exhaust pipes... but it works wonderfully here. I absolutely love the whole truck... I would not have done anything differently myself

 

Sensational build stepping out of the norm. So many great details.....those headers are great. Thanks for posting.

 

I'm a year & a half into a build of a similar truck & now I suddenly feel like Zippy the Pinhead. Astounding work! Stretching everything in two directions, including the freakin' doors, was a true labor of love. You can't get these results without poring your heart into it. I'm going to do the same lightening holes in the inner rocker panels, but of course your are beveled. Incredible attention to detail. Yipes!

 

Nice work.

 

Thanks For the Inspiration!!
Very Sweet Ride!

 

Ditto on the good job. LOVED the frame. Gary

 

very nice work i can honestly say id enjoy driving and owning a truck like that if i had the cash

 

Dan saw the truck at LSR, but did not know it was yours. All I can say is you built that truck to fit YOU, not someone 5 ft. tall. Great job, I heart that truck!

 

Really nice job.
Four years is dedication...
definitely doesn't look like your first build.

 

Good job especially for you first build

 

Robert - not too damn sure YOU could reach the pedals.......hehehehe
And we missed your wife at Propwash..............

 

You Done Good!

 

Wow, looks great! Nice work.

 

Nice job, you should be proud of that

 

wow!!that is sweet.nice work

 

Nice job!

 

First build? You coulda fooled me. Awesome truck. Something to be proud of!
