I got these off the another thread some time ago and I would like to get some more photos of it. I believe the owner is a member here.
Dodge roadster built by BCR on the Hamb (Big Creek Restorations) for his buddy Corey from Ellis, KS. Been in some big magazines. Should be at hamb drags. I have seen it a few times in person and have seen it drag racing too. One of my favorites.
Thanks BCR, I checked out the build photos and if you have any other photos of it finished if you could post them that would be great. I'm working on a father/son project but using a heaven forbid glass 27 T bucket body but with the build along similar lines. The style & stance is great and the angled tail on the pick up is so different. Thanks, Ian

The Angle on cab of the truck determined the angle of the front of the bed. The angle of the tailgate was just what looked right. I think the two angles were 17 and 14 degrees. When the tailgate was more angled it did not look right to me. If these links don't get you what you want just pm me and I can find a pic or two to help you out. We could have just thrown on a model a bed but I wanted this truck to be a Dodge (different) Thanks for the compliment.
Hi BCR, Fantastic workmanship in the build,you've gotta be pleased with end result. No way I could match your level of workmanship or detail in my garage, but if it looks even close I'd be happy. As I'm using glass, just have to work the pickup bed to look similar. Thanks for the links to pixs. Ian
The truck actually belongs to one of my best friends. We are both happy with how it turned out. Good luck on the build. PM me some pics when your done.
