    hello everyone

    names jeff i am 24 and i reside in Sydney Australia

    2 months ago i started my first project a 38 Chevy 1 ton truck.

    its slowly taking shape with a steep learning curve :D

    i am aiming for a 50's style fender less truck.

    currently i am looking for a 235/292 inline 6 sadly they are hard to find in aus but i dot plan on giving up.

    not sure if its ok to post a picture or a link to them but i will please let me know or remove if i am not supposed to.

  5. Please reconsider the "50's style fenderless truck" look.

    Very very few have managed to do it well.

    haha all good hammer

    peddro it will be fendered for rego but then depending on how it looks they will be replaced with cycle guards. but to far away to be 100% on how it will come out

    do you have any photos of a well done one?

    thanks guys :)
