Art & Inspiration The Friday Art Show

Good Fri. To all !

 

Ford F100 1961 MODEL
Short wheel base + bed custom two tone paint + flames, lowered rake, scalloped outlines and a mild chopped top.


Hello,

In So Cal trucks are a part of the working class transportation. Some are just the plain colors from the factory with black wall tires and color matching rims. But, others use custom touches to create something different for their daily drivers and also, weekend road trip transportation. Since there are a lot of trucks of all makes and models, this one would definitely stand out as different. It is an odd year styling of Ford trucks.

But, the original 1961 Ford truck had a taller cab that looked out of place. It needed a slight lowering to keep with the proportions. Yes, those Detroit factory designers get the big bucks to design new cars and trucks, but a lot of times, the proportions are just not right. How much of a chop? Minimal, but at least it is not a tall cab sticking out of the lower portion of the hood and bed lines.

The accessible gas cap is like a sore thumb. It sticks out so it ruins the smooth lines. So, it was relocated inside of the truck bed with a hinged door matching the side walls. Out of the way and functional. To keep the smooth lines of the two tone paint panel, the door handle is also converted to a touch button inside the truck bed, too. Just reach over the top rail and touch the button for easy access door opening. The key insert makes the button not active.

Happy Friday, eh! Here's to the weekend!

 

Holy, Cat woman JIGGER! COOL! Ed. I like your 46 Chevy. It would make a neat camper. Here's an earlier T version.

 

Cool, want to race ? Ed.

 

Riley ‘32 and one from back around Easter. Happy Friday.

 

Just finished this up earlier this week. My award I'll give at @straykatkustoms show this weekend.

 

Like an old cat... just wakin' up from a nap.

Happy " FAS" to everybody.
I saw this, version of the "SWC" Gasser, that was hand painted on a ceramic plate, on a table for sale at the Portland Swap meet a few years ago.
Thanks from Dennis.

 

Dump tubes and rake take me back to high school.

I had to check the date of this thread for a minute! My Palookaville 50th shirt is looking a little threadbare at this point, but still have it!

 

That's gotta be the perfect Easter, cool roadster, beer, chocolate and a happy bunny!

 

Best wishes to all on Friday, A couple of collaborations again this week. I drew these and my girlfriend Andrea painted.

 

Painted this in about 2006. My first car. Old #8. Still have it too.

 

That's a pretty cool piece of art. When I zoomed in on it, there is a lot of interesting style and shapes and lighting.
Just curious, was it inspired by a photograph? Or did you just go for it and it's purely free form?
Either way, I think it's a great piece of art!
Thanks from Dennis.

 

Yes, I'm late again.

 

Almost missed it!

Last week it was the Big Drag, here's the Big T! Don't mind that yeller number in the background, it'll be a star in a coming Friday Art Show. TGIF!

 

One of my homemade signs.

 

Not sure which I like more, the blue speedster itself or the view out the windshield!

 

One for the She-Rods.

 

...a metal cutout that Guthrismith did for me awhile back, and another "board"

 

Here's another one of Marks great homemade signs that he was kind enough to create for me and it now hands proudly on my garage wall...Thanks Mark!!!!

 

Great work everyone. Thank you everyone for sharing
