Projects 1946 GMC Bonneville build

Thank you!

 

Windshield is in!

 

Looking like a sleeper from this angle...but alas it is not...because we have front row seats...

Looking really awesome @Marcia and Team...

 

That looks so Good! I can't believe you can build it & paint it at the same time.

 

Bumper needs a rough sand & a coat of cream

 

That looks great. I would not of thought that those three colors would go together, but they work perfectly.
I don't recall reading it, what did you end up using for latches.
Thanks
Steve

 

The nice shiny chrome bumper is waiting in the living room.,

 

Thanks! I really appreciate your support!

 

I was hoping the paint would be well cured by the time we put it together. I'll have to touch up the back of the hood where we had to finesse it .
We got permission to make a two piece hood. The one piece hood with 3 hinges was heavy and awkward. Taking it on and off five times a day was a lot of work.

 

I plan on painting the fenders green to match the cab. Hoping it won't be as hot as black is at Bonneville.

 

We've used the hood pins, top and sides. Bonneville says you have to have more than the original latches.

 

And the gauges in a box under the bed?

 

Finished up the 4 banger season with the points championship at South Mountain Dragway.
Now back to work on the truck.

 

...congratulations @Marcia and Team...that's a pretty awesome Trophy...

 

Show us more of the four banger roadster

 

Thank you, it is!

 

It's 1928 Model A running gear with a 23 T body and a B engine. I use it for Jalopy racing which is very big around here.
Top picture is the Coatesville Grand Prix.
Second picture is the Latimore Valley Fairgrounds and the third is Frank and I at Path Valley . We built it about 4 years ago.

That is a very impressive " Jalopy ", I like everything about it!
The "M" in the front nerf/grille bars is KICK ***!

 

A cheap, simple way to have a blast while waiting for the next Landspeed event.

 

That looks like fun! I have enough junk in my yard to build one of those. Maybe a fleet, if I could only get into my shop.

 

Same here, Frank thinks he should be driving an A.

 

Ordered the rods and Pistons for the 302. It may be 4 months. So in the meantime we'll put the bed together.
But we made a few more purchases. Another 46 GMC, a Lakester my buddy has been working on for 20 years, a vintage drag car and a belly tank that raced at Bonneville in 1964. We'll get these all restored in the next few years.

 

" Money has no value, unless its spent "
Bravo Marcia, you have spent your money very well !

 

Thank you.

 

Envy you the 1 ton GMC.

Ben

 

They are hard to find.

 

Looks like you'll be busy for quite a while. GMC looks pretty solid.

 

Love the belly tank, good for you !!!!

 

It's quite nice, for sitting outside.
