Before:




So Far:

 

Nothing special almost three years of work. Its still a rough truck with cheap paint and junk fenders but its saved!

 

This is what happen in the 80s when people stopped using acid they had some really screwed up ideas I have been redoing a 51 chevy that someone done something like that with galvanized sheet metal and bondo god what were they thinking?

 

Ugly duckling

 

Started with a body and a year later The 350 stroker is coming out and going to put a 1958 283 in.The stroker motor was built for my 57.

Here is my 52 Hudson, before and after.

 

Man that before pic almost made me barf. Sure came out nice though.

 

Here is a pick of mine when I first got it. Was the one sitting on the frame. The next pick is in it current state. Hopefully finished this year. Spray cans and beer and I end up with rattle can flames. I know it not Hamb friendly but I like it. Plan on doing my T more on a 50's look.

 

Still not done...but further along...
