29 Ford Four Door Cut Up for a Truck Project

Maybe you should grow up instead of trying to pick a fight with me all day. Did you try to pick a fight with Kevin Lee all day too? I hate rat rods and I hate guy's that waste old car bodies to build shit. I think it is funny and laugh in your face for all of the bashing and all of your work bringing up old replies that I made to bash me today. Good night and I hope you gain some talent and skills before you ruin another classic car body. Sticks it up your ass putz

 

I do have some pic's and info of when I build the frame. I will get them posted in the next day.

Thanks
Sticks

 

There was no bashing or trying to pick a fight. I was just stating that you are the man. From what I see here you are bashing me. And were did I say anything about building a rat rod in my posts. I'm not done with my build at this point. So why do you have to put a label on it?

Sticks

 

I am sorry sticks.Lots of guys would help you out if you would let them. Scrap the attitude and ask questions. I apologize for being a jerk. Your truck could turn out really nice if you asked for help.Lots of talented people hang out here.

 

Hey man, no sweat. I know I still have thing that need to be worked out with this project. I'm not try to build a shit box.

I apologize to you as will, Sorry.

Sticks

 

Knowing you Nebraska Outcasts, I'm sure you'll pull it off.Sorry,I like spun discs

 

Insulting Kevin Lee?

Way to go.

.

 

Yea,
I built it and pedalled it.

Hey, man thanks for the pic. Looks somewhat like the Posie Truck.
Did you use a 2 door sedan?

Sticks

 

Eye for an Eye.

 

Man I've been having some problems with the picture takin box, So I think is is all I have up to the last post.

This is the 390 I'm using with the C6 trans.

 

Nice job. I hope mine comes out that well. How much chop did you give her?

 

I took 4" off the top. I was checkin out your post on your project, and I'm digin it. I does have a aveation vib to her.

Thanks
Sticks

 

Thanks Sticks. It's not to everyone's taste, but mine will have a aircraft fuel tank (which is actually the leading edge of the wing) from a 40's Piper Cub. The tank will go where the PU bed would normally be located.

I've just made a big move to New Mexico from Knoxville, TN, so my project has been on the back burner (way-back). By late June I should be able to get serious again......can't wait!!!

 

Thats a big move. So do you dig it in New Mexico? I like old airplanes and still have some biaplane I built to fly with RC. I like to see the pic's as you go along in your project.

Thanks
Sticks

 

Yeah we love it out here. My wife and I have planned to move here for about 8 years now, and are so glad we did it sooner rather than too much later.

Look for more progress pics from me by June or July.

 

I build my headers for the 29 project over the week end thought you would like to see them. I used some pipe I got at speedway motor. The pipe had one 180 degree and one 90 degree mandrel bends on them. I still need to make some baffles etc.

Will I got the project all mocked up, and I'm tearing it down. Last night I removed the body, box, and motor. So at this point I will finish up on the welding for the frame and finish the body work and start painting all the parts. I will post more pic's and info as I go.

 

Looks great! Keep up the good work!

 

Thanks man, So from SD ?? I make a trip up every year to Mitchell for our SD Club show/run. I'm trying to get the project done so I can run it up this year. Do you hit that show??? (The Outkasts Car Show) Sept 26 27 and 28. How's your project coming along??

Sticks

 

Well, I finished up the welding on the frame and done got the paint on her, (the frame). I got the brakes installed, plumed etc. I rebuilt the Motor about 2 weeks ago with help from my uncle. Installed it into the frame and fired her up on Sunday (it seemed fitting) this last weekend. My girl got shots of the motor break-in.

Later or sooner it all depends on you.

I know what it takes to cut one of these things up. It's not easy. I think you've done some good work bringing the two ends of the body together.

The thing I don't understand is your reaction to the constructive criticism above. I don't think any harm was meant, just input. What's with the "retaliation comment/eye for an eye" stuff?

 

Hey man, I’ve seen your work and it looks like good stuff. Thanks for being able to relate to the hard work we put into our cars etc.

As far as the comments about constructive criticism I call bull shit to that. Some dude/people talking about way to long etc etc. Like that dude/people hold the play book on this game.

Later
Sticks

 

Looking good man,look forward to seeing it on the road! Rob

 

Thanks Bro. I hope to have it on the road for the Michell, S.D. show.
You guy's coming up this year?

Mike said you took him for a ride in your new car and told me that it was bad ass.

 

All of your hard work sure shows.

You have built the quintessential rat rod.

Keep up the hard work!

Sam

 

If you want to build something in that style, you should be thicker skinned when people offer criticism. This is a public forum, and by posting pics of what you are doing, you are putting yourself out there for positive and negative comments. This is a traditional hotrod board, and sometimes builds like this arent received with a red carpet and a lei around your neck. I've posted some of the non traditional stuff as well, and have been flamed pretty bad in the past. No big deal.

And, I agree with Kevin Lee.

 

I have never seen a model a extra cab that looks right but there is a compant that makes a glass one thats OK yours has to much roll in the top just my opinion I think your craftsmanship is exellent .

 

Looks like it a fun ride. Great job!

 

I've been working on it slow go but it's movein along. Started back on the body to start the fit finish.

Thanks
Sticks
