my '29 essex, first build as a young buck.

Here is my project I've been working on over the last year, I've never posted because I wasnt sure if it fits in on this site. A 1929 essex which was a four door, I've cut 3 feet out of the body to make an extended cab truck, done all the work myself with some input from my buddies. Here is a few pics of when I got it and where I'm at now with it. I made the frame, visor, windshield frame, roof above the doors and molded the center of a dodge van roof.

 

Damn thats low, I like it!!!!!!

 

I think it looks cool!

What else do you have planned for it?

 

Looks good to me, but then I don't belong to the H.A.M.B.P.D. Hope you don't get too much grief for it.

 

i`m likin it, but who am i......lol.......very nice, was gonna do the same thing with my tudor......but didn`t.....urs is bad enough....

 

Sometimes I wish old cars could defend themselves.

 

Me too man,me too ...............

 

Looks good! A little different than my '27 Essex truck.

 

i'm interested to see what you do with the bed, but as it sits i like where it's goin'. looks mean, keep up the good work.

today i mounted my shocks, headlights, grille insert, disc brakes and took some pics of the subfloor. also heres a few pics of when i cut it up.

Nice ! Keep up the good work.

 

I like it. I hope you are going to run a bed, but otherwise it looks great.

 

well i finished this last week and made it to the jalopy showdown, figured I'd post some pics.

 

You tied that all together really nice!
Must be great to be driving around instead of building.

 

The lack of skulls tells me you are driving in the right direction.......................
Like Hackerbilt said, "You tied that all together really nice!"

 

your truck is very cool , all the parts tied together very well , you have a good eye for assembly ,and the color looks great

 

Good job.. I like the way you did the bed.........

 

had some pro. pics done. have put on 1200 miles since getting it on the road at the end of may.

 

I remember seeing your car at the showdown and heard about the workmanship from another Philadelphia Modifier that commented on how nice your workmanship was

 

Damn, that turned out great!!

 

Awesome truck dude! Good job.
