Projects Fresh Fab' Ideas....Mike Roberts '28 pu build pics.

Works a treat ! I had this exact setup in my bucket back in the late 70's, rode nice, and hooked up real well.

 

Dunno how I missed this thread before.
The fab work looks like it's organic it looks so smooth and sculptured.
Cool looking truck.
Shame that Mike isn't on here posting How-To's for us all to follow. The end result looks great, but I'd love to see how he did that Y-Block engine mount, then all the rest.
Ah well, thanks to Kev for posting it up in the first place.
Cheers.

 

Just love looking at the skills and innovative ideas others come up with. Simple, not overstated or in your face. Subtle, discreet and clean.

 

Here's the feature I was lucky enough to shoot with Mike near the end of the build.
The story in Mike's own words...

 

Awesome vid, thanks.

 

Great story Cal! Very cool.

 

Thanks Cal . Mike is such a humble all round nice guy to talk to and just so talented. I'm honoured to call Mike a friend.

 

Awesome, Great video.

 

Mike and the truck will be at Pleasanton and the Ventura Nat's. Check out the embossed Ranchero bull head in the tailgate and valve covers...

 

Mikes an incredible craftsman - a guy who New Zealand can be very proud of

Cool. Is that deals gap in the first pic? I bet that was a lot of fun in a short wheelbase truck.
