Finally Finished...

A little East Texas rockabilly with a side order of cowhyde...

 

I bet shifting is a "blast" ....

 

I like that cowhide. Is that stuff really spendy?

 

Nice looking truck. As for the interior treatment...why?

 

don't mess with texas

 

WHOOOO. Black and shiny Great looking truck. Simple and cl***y.

 

Good to see your defination of fininshed includes shinny paint and an interior.
Nice old "finished" truck.

 

I like the blue dash...

The moo-moo skin needs to go. Or at least hang some horns on the hood.

 

Hope you never get pulled over with that gun in your lap.....you might get hurt on accident

 

Thanks, the color is actually Black saphire metalic. ( a super dark blue black) We built a set of horns for the hood, but my customer's girlfriend said "no". As for the cowpoke theme, what else would you expect from a redneck FNG anyway?...

 

i like the cowhide going on it's cool in my book and the rest of the truck looks great also

 

Cute....my wife loves Dolphins.........haha

 

Moo moo buckaroo!

 

Nicely finished truck. A couple of dodads????????????

Getting the V8 and automatic in there, and fitting everything, was a challenge with the customer specified stock front axle. I had to get creative with the exhaust, a right side 56 car manifold flipped to the left side was just about the only way to get it done. An 86 truck rearend, and drilled axles and drums for six lugs, made it drive. The power drum conversion was chocked full of headaches, even though it is supposed to be "simple." Almost everything on this heffer was hand fabricated. I hated the guages, but the budget was the override. The vintage air, was a joke at best, but I did the best to make it flow. All in all, I'm pleased with the end results, we ***embled this thing in about three weeks...

 

nice truck man!!

 

nice,i'm thinkin the cow will grow on me but it's new and differant and thats what it's all about.

 

I really like the color and how deep the shine is .
I wouldn't have taken a good gun and done that ! But that's TEXAS !
I will ***ume this is for a Holstein Rancher . Very nice touch with the cowhide !
It is really a nice looking truck !

 

Thanks for looking at the shine, the way that very few others can look at something. You have perspective. (and my respect) The handgun was an 1856 Owl head (Scolfield patent) It also had been plated, and re****neld countless times. ( it also had a bent frame, deamed unrepaireble,by our local gunsmith) I could have fixed it and shot it, but The truck needed it more...
