that truck is really cool and I would have to say a big inspiration. I have ditched the standard 46 front clip, but I still love that one
This is my favorite build on the HAMB right now I am watching getting ideas for when I start my truck...Keep on keepin on!
Behind the lower grilles on each fender (if your local laws allow it). If not, use vette or Rivi vacuum motors to open the grilles for headlight use!
Not much of an update but I thought this was a cool pic. gives a good look at how it will sit. Cant wait to get the running boards on to tie it together a little
DMackCustom, would like to see the pics from facebook. Love the truck. Would also like see more pics of Bob Young's pickup.
The reason I ask is because I own this bad boy now. Going to take a lot of time and money to finish it. I think it needs to be show quality and not a rat rod. I found this car http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200634235233 and sent a message to Nathan Hale. I hope he responds. I think this truck would look killer in black. I have a professional doing the work. He does amazing work on motors. I am sure he can do all but the paint. Nathan is local and J Frannea is local. I think both do great work. It is probably a year away from paint. Need to work my tail off to pay for all this but I expect it to be jaw dropping cool. Very creative thinking got it this far. Hopefully we can finish it. My builder told me originally he did not work on baggers but when he saw the pics he liked it. He has built race cares mostly. I expect it to be scary fast. Need interior and paint to be as good as Paul's motors. Look J Frannea up on facebook. He does low riders mostly and his work is as good as I have seen. I want it to be black and blood red. Total gangster. I bought it from Jeff in Enid, OK and he purchased the headlight buckets and an impala dash. Perfect fit for the truck. I think it will have red flames on the hood and red interior. Would love to build a white twin to go with it. Open to ideas. I think Nathan can help with the air bags and bunch more. Maybe he posts on here.
Here is the truck with head light buckets. Looks even better. I like big head lights. I think most guys do.
Got a donor truck. Has a clear title from Minn. All I need is the running boards and back fenders. Looks like a fairly solid truck. Somebody wants to buy the rest then let me know after I am done with it. Pics attached. Grille is bent but you can buy a new one from Chevs of the Forties. Still a lot of work left. I am not near ready to sell anything yet. Just saying I will not need much of this truck.
