    Sorry fellas, Im a gaijin from Australia, teaching Engarish and banging out my frustrations on the friendly, obliging women folk!

    I have posted on here a little, "sometimes its better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt":p

    I dont know if its just coz I see how much small mistakes F@CK UP communication, but can someone send out a memo that "to" when refering to "also, as well, etc" IS SPELT WITH TWO Os

    as in ....me TOO:)

    cant wait to get some pics of my build up. fenderless 28-29 closed cab pickup choped top, suicide 37 non dropped axle with spring behind Drum brakes. 2X3 Stainless steel frame, Ford FE big block with a C6 tranny and a 9" rear end. and yes it will be an automatic trans. I want to spend time cruzz'n not shift'n. still thinking on the rear suspensionneed something different so all them traditional hotrodders can complain.

    The grill and bullet hole are things I would change, but it's not mine to change. They make it lean toward the "rat" look. It's got an interesting look without the over kill.

    I dig it and if you built it yourself fuck what anyone says... They're only having built for them what someone else told them was cool.
     
  15. I'd like to believe he will eventually bring the rest of it up to the cleanliness of the engine. And that's why the engine is so clean. Let's HOPE

    I think that dark red and cream truck with the buick was featured in HARDCORE ROD AND KUSTOM, much in the state yours is.
    NOW look at it, great finish.

    That's badass. Did I spot a bullet hole in the roof corner? Leave the grill as it is, it looks mean as shit

    The only thing I'll be critical about is the fact that it's on the road and mines not....so I guess I'm being critical about me being a lazy ass and not working on my fenderless truck (I am working on a Studebaker sedan though). Drive the hell out of it and enjoy it... doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of it as long as you enjoy it

    Hmm, I kinda like this one. 1935-1937 are sort of gray areas for me. The passenger cars should definitely not be fenderless, but the trucks kinda work. Definitely nothing after '39 works without fenders, though.

    currently in my shop for channeling (done), floor, firewall and chop.
    I'll see if I can find a shot of the grill in it's laid back and dropped position so you can see what all the guys are commenting on.

    I like it, but since your asking...

    If it were mine I'd fix the grill up and section it. It looks too big, and it's condition makes it look rat-roddish. Fix it, you'll be glad you did it.

  28. Throw some dirt on it!
     
  29. Fix the grill and maybe plug that recent (looking) bullet hole in the cab?

    I don't have any real problems with it. Its yours are ya happy/ if not then the olny real criticism I can conjur up it that you didn't build what you wanted.

    But...if you're happy with it then hell bring it on.

    What?? The proprtions are terrible !

    Engine is to small, The grill is to big, The tire size is wrong.....

    Looks like with some work, This one wont be as Lame as most...

    The Grill is way to big & fucked up... Small Block Ford is way to small, The alternator, electric fan & M/T valve covers look real bad.

    Sorry Man, But these trucks are just WRONG!
