    Could you fine gentleman swap the wheels and blackwall tires of the T on to the A roadster, paint the hood to match, and possibly shorten the front frame horns to about the middle bolt? If you are feeling really crazy I would love to see what a Duvall windshield may look like as well. Thanks for all you do for us fools. Hoping to post pics of a few of the concepts you helped push towards reality soon. IMG_2981.jpg Justin Baas.jpeg

    Would some kind soul find a good custom chop for the back portion of the roofline and give it the preverbal custom stance and remove the front bumper?
    I am trying to talk my son into this model. Thank you guys for all you do. PJ

    The side shot is pretty low rez and the other angles are hard to work with, but here's a rough one for ideas.

    Thank you squablow. That’s the most important money shot. Hopefully it’ll give him some insight.

    Here's my version. I can see that conniving Squablow beat me to the punch.

    Thank you madfish. that roofline is pleasing too. Doesn’t look like as much work.

    Could someone possibly change the look of this by moving the grille an headlights back much closer to the engine? Maybe lean the grille back a little too. If you're feeling really adventurous add a hood and hood sides. Looking for ideas and not happy with the current look. Thanks! 20220802_150904.jpg

    Could you please extend the rear fenders, and raise them up to match the body line of the cab. Want to build a Cameo, or fleetside style out of a step side bed. Don’t want the Cameo taillights just the slope of the rear fenders E49A14AD-C4A8-46C3-A771-717041115621.jpeg 59E299F0-E07D-4B83-A3F4-2D361176C0D0.jpeg 803CC5C8-4FDE-454C-8367-0D87DF1CA9F0.jpeg 76C5052D-2A62-4836-B5ED-CC59E1F50764.jpeg

    @Rand Man like this? Or would you eliminate the end of the box sticking out? That I think might look weird, but I do kinda like the extended stepside fenders like this. An interesting enough idea I had to try it just to see for myself what it'd look like.

    Here's mine. turns out I took the fenders a little farther back than Squablow, so I think that might help to answer his question.

    Thanks guys. I’m not sure about the rear/tailgate area. Will think about it. I found out that Cameo repro bedsides aren’t all that expensive. I found this 55 GMC project that could be really cool.

    The sides aren't bad, but wait until you see the price tag on the trim bits!

    Well, that GMC project I wanted sold. Here’s what I think is a long bed.

    Changed my mind, sorry. The extended fenders is what I can afford.

    If you don’t already know, I’m a dreamer. Here’s another project car I want. 51 Chevy already has a lot of work done to it. I think something like 53 Cadillac tail fins would look great on this Chev. B49826ED-72EF-4362-A61D-F3BA0C1BB5CE.jpeg

    That looks killer, wonder how good it would look with a little altitude adjustment on both ends?

    Sorry guys, the long bed truck is the most affordable, and could look pretty cool. Maybe just take this rendering and extend the wheelbase and bed. It might be cool if the wheel arches were moved back a few inches. The extension would be more in front of the wheels. Could lower it a bit too. Thanks so much guys. I will settle down after this one. DEB2A72E-3E80-4B6E-998C-0F8752F27489.jpeg

    Whoa, I appreciate your effort. Looks like you you stretch out the wheelbase to 130 inches. I think you stretched out behind the tire also.
    I plan to cut off the extra bed side at rear. I want the tailgate to line up like your previous image. The bed will not be 8 ft, more like 7ft. Thanks for all the hard work. Don’t mean to complain

    The problem with starting with an 8 foot box and then just bobbing the tail for length is that the rearend is going to be in a really awkward spot, more like this. I think if you're going to do this, you have to be willing to cut the frame down to short wheelbase length, or find an SWB frame to build on.

    Yes, it would be better to correct the wheelbase. I can’t do a lot for myself anymore. The more mods can price me out of the deal. That last one looks pretty good to me. Thanks guys!

    Long fenders look like a coffin to me. Hard to beat stock or Cameo.
    I would to see a Cameo with a better designed tailgate … It looked liked the designers stopped a little to soon.

    D7592662-44FB-49CB-8FC7-F0299CC931BA.jpeg Yeah, this this 58 or 59 I found could use the fleetside bed. They can look really good.
