Projects 1946 GMC Bonneville build

^^^^WOW^^^!!!

 

That's one beautiful GMC!

 

I don't think I have ever seen something so nice put together on the first try. So much finished as you go!

 

Thanks!

 

We'll still have to take the fenders off ro get the race motor in, but we'll take to the Motorsports show first.

 

I would call that truck beautiful, but not necessarily aerodynamic.

 

When you compare it to other trucks in the XO/PP class, it might be.

 

It is more aero than the GM,Ford, Studebaker, & Dodge trucks of the '50s. The Internationals may be close.

 

• Willy Whitman did a fantastic job on the lettering. It's ready for the show.

 

"Simply magnificent"

 

Just like we knew what we were doing!

 

WOW!!! If you can make it run as good as it looks you have a winner. You have a winner even if it doesn't run.

 

Looks awesome!

 

Excellent!

 

We have headlights!
We're loading up today to display the truck at the Greater Philadelphia Expo center for Friday and Saturday.

 

Love the tuck, especially the cream hood and grille. Don't know if it's been asked before but what is the color from and do you have the paint code you could share? I plan on 2 toning my '54 Ranch Wagon red with cream and your color looks perfect. TIA

 

Rustoleum Almond and DuPont Nason. Black is Rust-Oleum too.

 

It's first picture, sitting outside. We're ready for the show tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

So same Class as Johns Team...You are competitors...that's awesome...HAMBtastic!!

Truck looks Ready to Go!! Congrats to you and the Team on this milestone...

 

Didn't John change to modified?

 

I read this from D-Russ...XO and XXO...so that means maybe?

 

He's got a Ford truck with a GMC motor that makes it MP. Modified Pickup. The Skinner head makes it XXO.

 

I want to see it in motion. It is so well done!

 

Sorry I'm showing my weakness in Speed/Race identifiers...I just saw XO/PP and I now understand there's more to the class then those X & P identifiers.

 

There are so many variables! It's not easy. I get excited when I see XO on the side of a vehicle!

 

I have no doubts in their abilities to make this truck haul! Can't wait for August!!!

 

Marcia holds the record a Loring with a 57 Chev oval track car with GMC engine at 133 +

 

And at least 3 other records at Loring too!
