I don't post much on here anymore, mainly because I don't have a whole lot to add. I built my roadster pickup, the "Wild Canary" seven years ago, and it is my daily driver in the summer months. Most of the older members will remember many hundreds, perhaps even thousands of posts that were made on this forum during the build process. Today I had to go across town to a construction site at the old Allandale train station which is being refurbished as a "Go-Train" station, and measure up a prototype device being developed for a "Mini Hoe" backhoe machine. While I had the camera out taking pictures of it I snapped a pic of my truck.---All the construction guys were admiring my "Work Truck"!!!
damn, i don't blame them for admiring it, because that's one of the nicest work trucks i've ever seen for sure!
Brian, I was wondering what happened to you...havent seen you around here in a long time. I need to see that truck of yours in person one day.
The bright yellow is perfect body colour and I really like the whitewalls with the white top! You got one nice Roadster Pickup to summer cruise in!
My '38 Pick-up is my daily driver,and sometimes I have to drop off something on the way home,and the guys on the jobsites go nuts when they see it. I run the yard for a construction company. Love the truck,BTW....
built em to be driven nothing worse then a nice looking hot rod that just sits in its place in the garage
Brian, don't sell your previous threads short. Those threads are responsible for a lot of cool cars being built correctly..........from the frame up.........and your truck rocks....work or otherwise
That rpu is probably one of the nicest hotrods I have built, in fourty some years of hotrod building. It is my daily driver during the summer months, and that old 305 that I used as a dummy block to build the truck around is still going like that rabbit with the batteries up its ass---It just won't quit!!! I keep waiting for it to die so I can put a 350 in its place, but each year it just seems to run better. All of my earlier hotrods were chopped, or channeled, or both---Great to look at, but murder on my back to drive for long. This one is stock body and top height, running a pair of 65 Mustang buckets on home brewed risers, and as I get older and fatter and more filled with arthritis, I really appreciate the comfort of a stock height car. I've quit going to the big car shows, but I still make it to a couple of local "cruise nights" each week. I still drop in to the HAMB from time to time, and still occasionally add to my monster thread on "How to build an early hotrod frame". http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ighlight=how+to+build+an+early+hotrod+chassis Its nice to hear from you fellows, and nice to know that my posts may have helped some hotrodders along the way.----Brian
Screen name is a little different, but I know where he hides out quite a bit, it was the nice truck that told off on him, I think he has posted pics of it on that forum. I will let him tell you guys if he wants to. It is not a car forum.
Very nicely built and I remember lot of the threads you did about measurements!! Good to see your still around. Bitchin Truck !!
