Hot Rods my 27 roadster pickup

what do you think? rear wheels are temporary i have 16" steelies for the back. still have some fab to do mostly cosmetic. getting different headlights too. and later i think im gonna put on a model A body.(ill fix it so people arent confused)

here it was before.... yikes.



looks way different then when i first got it!

 

i like the top one - real neat

the bottom picture could be made into somthing neat if the originial builder had kept his proportions in like. Also, that frame is just plain scary

I always like this weesner painting

 

I'm sure this will piss you off,but,sorry,I like the way it was before you ratrodded it.
I think there's a lot of potential there,you just went a little to far.
Also,flourecent paint doesn't work on a hotrod,in my opinion.

And,yeah,something like Dynaflash just posted would be cool to build,maybe you might consider ''tweaking'' your design a little?

 

The first picture is the after picture.

 

Bob, you're reading it backwards....the bottom pic is what he started with.......unless you're saying you like it that way.

I take back every damn thing I said in my original post,except that the Weesner painting rules,I had it backwards apparently.My apologies.
Nice save.

 

fixed it, before first now.

 

same truck dude! the frame and rest of the car WAS scary!

 

and the weezner painting is cool, but thats too 60s for me. im going for an early 50s look. the tires will be pie crust blackwall firestones.

 

sounds like it will be awesome finished

 

yup i like the bottom picture , first pic is butt ugly ,

 

I am confused on which is the before and after.......but I hope the picture with the flathead is the after, if so I think it will turn out great.

 

this is the truck AFTER.

 

Yes,the pic with the flathead is the after pic.
I was confused at first also and stuck my foot in my mouth,but he de-ratted it.Or maybe he D-conned it?

 

took a lot of work to fix all the garbage that was done to it. thank god my roomate has a shop and between the both of us can get a lot done.

 

got the 16 steelies on it with 7.00 firestones with the 40 ford caps. motorcycle tires soon for the front. more updates soon. got all the parts so its just a matter of cleaning up everything and painting it ect ect.

heres a teaser pic.

 

Hey JB,looks great so far,I really wish more people would "fix" those vermin rods and bring them back to cool!.

 

Hoping that you're planning on NOT having the radiator/shell stick up so high on the finished product. Aside from that - you're doing a bang-up job.

Who's on first? (Nice save, you un-fucked it.)

 

getting another radiator for flathead, that one is only 2 outlet and its model A shell. by the time id modify it and shorten it down i might as well just spend the extra money on the proper radiator. plus i want to run a 32 shell. i test fitted one last night and it looked badass!

 

Much improved.

 

Oh man... I thought the first pic was how it was now! I like the highboy look, great job!!

 

Keep it up! It's a night and day difference so far.

 

here it is with a grill on it and a chick sittin in it

 

Thank you!

much, much better

 

Great improvement!

 

Your version's much better.Good to see a car being saved from sinking into that stinking cess pit known as R*t R***ing!

 

That's the way to do it !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

me and my roomate did some more work last night.

test fit another firewall. will do more tweeking for sure but it fits for the most part.


welded up and ground the holes in the side where i had to test fit the column.



new fronts!


late 40s dodge column, with a 37 pitman arm.


restored the stewart warner cluster, gotta gut the tach because its broken and transplant a new ones guts into it. i think it will get wings or rosebud gauges for the rest.
