Projects The NEW PROJECT (here goes the next 2 years of my life)

So Iv'e built a couple "rat rods" and I am getting to the point that they are not what I am into anymore. I am finally getting around to my 36 p/u and thanks to you guys I have decided to do it with the fenders. My goal is to have a full 40s era race setup in like 5 years, the 36 pulling an A or T modified.

Here is the first rough mock-up, it needs to be chopped 4 1/2 & raised up a bit, but I think you guys will get the idea

 

Looks good. Get after it and keep us posted...

 

I think I have a good leed on a 37 humpback to use the frame

 

Man I can totally see where you are going by just looking at the mockup. These are pretty much my favorite trucks ever. I think it's the juxtaposition of the graceful lines of the fenders matched by the ruggedness of the truck bed. Best of both worlds!!!

 

I say no chop. lower is ok. and don't paint it black.

 

ok...you can make the transition...just keep repeating...hotrod..hotrod

nice truck..drive it while you build it.

 

I actually like the way it sits with no chop... something to think about.

 

Not everything needs a chop. It has great lines right now!

 

Damn Dirty, I like how it sits now. Great looking project.

 

here it is with a 4" chop <img src=http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=13217&pictureid=135958>

 

I am kinda likeing it w/o the chop too, well I guess that brings up a new question chop or no chop?

 

I vote no chop.

 

I'm really liking this!! I vote no chop.

The height is perfect. And whatever you do, don't chop it. That year is the sh!t.

 

just chop one side and have the best of both worlds.......nah


no chop

 

Good lookin' truck. Looks cooler with no chop. Needs some shiny paint too!

 

Another vote for leaving it unchopped. Looks great down like that.

 

Subtle chop, 1 1/2-2".

 

Looks great as-is. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

 

unchopped,
unchopped,
unchopped

 

no chop! stock height on cab is cooolllllll!

 

the 37 that i am looking at getting has wide 5s, I think that suspension will be *****en underneath this thing

 

I agree. Just enough to make em wonder?

 

looking good.

 

Angle chopped and channeled, and rolled out of my shop last spring. Yep '36 pick-up are drop dead ***y!!!

 

if you want your race set-up would you want you pusher truck chopped?
I like it as you have it mocked up.

 

No chop imho....

 

No chop required, cool as is!

 

Here's my next project, if ever finish this Shoebox. I'm voting no chop on mine. These just look too damn good the way they are.

 

No chop! I agree, not every car needs to be chopped.
