PhotoChop Challenge: Dodge A-100, Ford Econoline

Curious... anybody here ever do a project with a cab-over/forward control pickup, namely a Dodge A-100 or Ford E-series? I know they probably push the limit of HAMBness age-wise, but I've always thought these could make a great project for a flake-slathered 60s show kustom...





Not talking about a Little Red Wagon clone drag wagon, but something along the lines of the Bradley's Deora...

... lowered, flaked/pearled, bar grill treatment, maybe even chopped; but, unlike the Deora, something actually streetable. Let's see your ideas!

 

A feeble attempt at a PhotoShop. Kinda' neat just sectioned and lowered w/ out a chop.

 

Fonzi's friend is building one. And Pic***o's rendering needs to be built. It rules!!!

 

nice.

 

Hot damn! Didn't know Dan had done that... he is a ruler a**** mortals.

 

*****************

 

Schweeeet.

 

Done.

 

Is that the art of Dan Pic***o? You need 3 things to do work like that. The first is talent and the other two are also talent.


Let's throw the infamous Corvan Briarwood and Rampside pickup into this discusion.

 

I would have been first if....oh well,

 

damn! I'd give my left nut & probably the right one for an Econoline PickMUp! (seein' as I don't actually have the $$)

 

I'm thinking 60's custom. 4 inch chop wild purple w/scallops, radirs, ww's slicks in back, cream tuck n' roll toneau cover and interior. AND A BLOWN SLANT SIX! I have always wanted on of these! -stick
P.s. Keep the 'Dodge' script badge on door, Design perfection.

 

Here is another pic to work with. This one came to our car show in 2003. My Dad had a 66 A-100 for a while. Had a 440 in it... did good donuts! Radiator was up against the seat. It had heated seats! Painted it pee green. Anyhow... chop away.

 

Let's try that again...

 

Here is sweat pee...

 

Here you go Mike, I should be doing real work right now, but I thought I would take up the challenge : )............

 

Chris Ito, you are a ruler...

 

Econos are dumb...everyone knows wagons are where it''s at!

That Pic***o piece is one of my all time favorites!

Mike, I usually use a measuring tape....

I mean no disrespect for Big Daddy on this one, this is just for fun for Mr. Z

 

The Deora wasn't streetable?? Why not?

Dodge A-100 part II

 

I've got a fairly decent '67 Dodge A-100 van that would be perfect for a project like this, and you can have it pretty cheap too! David

 

I think it would look cleaner if the cab was sectioned till the bottom of the windows was level with the bed rail.

 

Much better.
The top cops without this sectioning....look NASTY.

 

hope you like

 

here you go,

 

aww you beat me to it ohwell heres my og ms paint skills sectioned lowered widewhites.

 

*****in...and only 3 years late!

 

Here's a quickie with the cab set back a bit, COE style.
