How's about a pre war Willys, rising up like a cutter through ice

 

here is my 36

 

This is what my avatar looks like now

 

This was my pop rip with our '30 steel roof . he was a machinist and owned a garage he made the wheels from 12 inch pipe and widened the ford rims to 8 " and buick hubcaps ,so he could run 850s on it . it had a chassis black brush paint job my 3 sister's and I did when we were kids and it had a 32 ,4 cylinder with 15 lbs cut off the flywheel and chevy valves for unleaded gas and a Weber 2 barrel, with a Mitchell's over drive. It was supposed to be mine but he sold it to a guy in his MARCOM model A club and he over restored it. Painted it black and yellow gross ,Then offered it back to me for 26 grand. I told him and he ruined it and he was pissed cuz it should have stayed the way it was! Oh well thanx for listening.lol

 

This one comes to our local cars and coffee gatherings. Super sweet!

 

I love trucks!

 

Are they carpenter levels on the top of the bed rails? If so, liking it!

 

I believe they are wooden ones like the masons use. It was in rod and custom. I'm a carpenter it would be a cool ride

 

That has to be a George Barris creation. "Gaudy is good".
