1957 TIAGO RANCHERO clone

GaryC,
if someone found the original and redid the front end "T-bird" style like yours, it would go back to being a cool truck again. The shorty style version front end on it now{ as shown } is butt ugly.

 

damn it really is you. ranchero looks rad so far. glad your still around.

 

cool!!

nice chop..... thanks for the updated pics......

 

At least when you cut the doors the top edge can be made to fit
I've had a few. Only one chopped though. (4") It's in Sweden

 

Damn lookin good. Good to see you on here again.

 

Well fuck germ welcome back. I hadda do some research to make sure it was Germ and not some freakin' clone. Accept no substitutes.

 

The reports are due on friday man. You missed first hour.

Oh and what a damned slick project.

 

the chop looks perfect, , always loved the original, glad to see you guys cloning it

Get with the program......jeez.....

 

Shit looks good with the Plymouth caps...

No Anna jokes from me... she might take my picture someday! I wanna be a rebel too!

 

Tiago is here in Arkansas. I did some work for him on several vehicles. He's a millionaire and reminds everyone of that fact. The point is,, I really work hard to get what I work on the best that it can be.
One day he wanted me to paint a frame with a brush!,,so I walked out. I told him I want to see some of my stuff in magazines. A few days later I saw him and He threw a magazine at me,, the article ("Tiago letters") had hit the stand with his Rancho in it,,He said "I'm still in magazines".
I tracked the car down and was interested in rebuilding it but he said it was too costly and to forget it. We had several arguments and he had the attitude "You'll never work in this town",,.

 

NIce Chop !!
