Nice day, took some pics of the truck

Nice day out so I figured I snap some shots of the truck since I've had it done for about a week now. I still need to put it my upper dash and window mechanism as well as get the headlights adjusted. Don't really care about the "bobber" or "rudy this and that" comments which seems to be the hype these days, I love it, that's what matters most to me. Here she be!

Those are some great photos of a mighty fine truck. Nice stance.

 

Nice job dude, love the stance and I like that you kept the generator. Where did you get that collar on the steering column, I like it a lot!!!!! Congrads and if it makes you happy that is all that matters.......

 

Very nice she looks good.

 

i like it , the grill shell on might look better.. congratz

 

Nice pictures, it really motivates me to go in the garage and work on my truck. I just want to get it running but some times you get burnt out from your full time job. It really looks fun to drive!

 

kool freakin ride, Generator, S.W.s, Metelflake wheel. What's not to like!

 

You should be proud of that! Nicely done. Enjoy the hell out of it and screw everyone with their self-proclaimed "artistic eye for proportion" B.S. they throw around.

It really only matters what you think because it's your ride.

 

Love it man - nothing looks sweeter than a traditionally built SBC. (although I know 90% of people on here will disagree with me!!)

 

love the dash good job

 

Looks good. You need to dirty up that radiator a bit it looks to new. Great job!

 

Yea, I have a few things up my sleeve still. I built the entire frame on paper first just using basic math and geometry and this is how she came out. 111" wheelbase, tracks perfect, no shakes even at 80+. I HAD to keep the generator, it's brand new, I picked it up in Hershey at the swap meet, charges like a dream. Hahaha on the radiator, it's a Griffin aluminum dragster radiator, I painted it with black laquer and it's still staying clean! Seems like it just won't get dirty! THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK GUYS! This is the first hot rod I've built, and at 21 I don't think it looks too shabby!

 

Hey that truck looks great man. Im sure you got Chris jealous as hell. (but hopefully motivated)- maybe when those rears are all burned off run some 7.50's to get a little more tire height. (or not, yea mines still in a pile and your runs...)

 

cant wait till i get to start on my(err) my wifes 36 pickup.hope mines turns out as good as yours did,congrats

 

Yea, Chris saw it barely at Greasmas the other night, but he was so out of it he didn;t even know where his car was parked! I went up there trying to help him get his shit straight on his and get his ass motivated, he has too much going on right now. I want to get some 7.50's on the rear and 5.50's on the front, the tires on it are B.F. Goodrich Silvertowns from '62, still soft and no dry rotting what so ever. I'm probably going to take them off, they're worth more sitting than driving, I'd like to find another set of wheels though before I do that, know of any around? hahaha

 

haha, i was going to ask about that radiator! looks good man, really well put together little truck. i like the "cleanliness" (if you could call it that) of the dash.

 

So what size tires & wheels are on it now? They appear to be the same size, front & back. I like it as it stands.

 

Nice pix, nice ride, nice job.......

I enjoyed.

I dig it. Right the hell on.

 

Looks like a good start when are you going to finish it?

 

The truck looks great.Finish up the little stuff that you want and drive the hell out of it.

It looks good.

 

Looks mighty fine....Damn good for your first project....I hope to own one of those soon.....

 

"This is the first hot rod I've built, and at 21 I don't think it looks too shabby!"

No, this is not too shabby for anyone to have!
To have it be your first hot rod... cool!!
To be 21 and this your first hot rod.. WAY cool!!!
Congrats.<!-- / message -->

 

You know in my days trucks had fenders. And girls didn't run around with tattoos and their ankles showing. You young people are a disgrace!

Get a job!

23 Skidoo!

 

nice truck-cool stance

 

Looks great. Very well done.

 

Very nice, good job. Screw the haters. They're the ones that can't build anything and never will. I built a truck this way before any Rudy (10 years ago) ever had a thought. Everyone thinks the first one or style of something they see in a magazine makes it the first one. For all I know he copied mine.

What's the steering box ? any pictures of it and the rear suspension and inside & under the bed ?

You're rightfully proud.

 

Looks great in a kind of Rudy/bobber kind of way.... LOL Just Kidding.
It does look great, I add my weight to the positive comments above.
I like the generator, the tidy yet functional dash and the drilled backplates - all the better for being not overdone.
21 too.. Lucky so'n'so.
Mart.

 

Nice work I like it, cant wait to see it out and about this summer!

very nice show us some pics of the frame if you got any.
