  1. i got a bit of time to fool with this thing some more.

    i cut and tacked the " decklid" together.

    and i put in the " filler pieces between the halves. i put the gas door back in so i could put my latch and key hole inside it.

    we stood around and looked at it, and decided to chnnel the cab a bit.
    after that was done, i pushed it out to take a few pics. i can't wait to chop this thing!!

    Sweet !!!!!
     

  6. man, if it's even close to what the SPACE TRUCK is, i'll be happy.


    i'm thinking only a couple inches out of the top. i think that will put the proportions in line.

  16. you're the second person to say that, but i'm actually gonna repaint the engine, and the blue on the tires is that protective coting on the whitewalls.

    funny how they are the same color though.

    I like the proportions the way it is. Have you tried to photoshop a pic to see how it'll look chopped?

    Yeah, that one is my favorite as well. I think that's the perfect roof height.

    Killer project, by the way. It's looking awesome.
     

  26. thanks guys, the compliments really keep the fire going.
