Started another project. 28 p/u drag truck.

I started a project for Tavis, tmacracin here on the hamb.Hes buildin my motor for the 32 and im puttin together a truck for him. I decided to start from scratch on the body. Here it is after the first 2 days.

 

Nice...will it be an extended cab? not much room in them old cabs.My 32 tetnus tonner is cramped and I aint huge.

 

Jim
I can't wait until this is sitting in front!

No its not going to be a extended cab I'm well under 6' so I will fit nice I think Jim was just comparing the new to the old. Jim's work is amazing!

 

Yes, the new stuff next to the stock cab looks pretty good! I have one of those out back that keeps getting sidelined........

 

Will you be putting wood back in it or going with steel?

 

Steel, steel, steel. I aint no gud wit woood.

 

Very impressive.

Rusty

 

well your damn good with steel.
your work is awesome,....any update on your car your building?

 

Are you useing a step die in your beadroller for the raised sections and a large beading die for the large beads...If so what size are the sizes of the step and bead...Looks good...Pat

 

Sweet - been toying with that idea, as well.........keep us posted.

 

Since everyone else is stating how good the metal work is (which it is). I will say

that motor looks good...

 

Your work always amazes me. I need to practice with my bead roller!

 

Geez, and I thought I got alot of stuff done around the garage in the past 2 days. Nice work.

 

Thanks
I can't wait to get it smokin the tires

 

today we squared up the cab, and went to the junk yard for a real nice cowl band. After squaring the cab up we made the front. Im really loving this cab.

Yea, this yard is truely one of the highlights of living in eastern Wa.

 

Definatly amazing metal work keep us posted!

 

I was just wondering........When the hell do you sleep? Nice work Jim!

 

I love Coffee. There is plenty of time to sleep when you are dead.

 

Your like a monkey on crack!!...holysh!t...

 

Amazingly enough, I look a lot like a monkey on crack, or so i have been told.

 

Some more progress. Don't mind the zoomie headers we were just messing around

 

Rad.

 

were in the flying heck did you find a junkyard like that? thats heaven.

 

I wish I had a junkyard like that
closer to home

 

Junkyard?? No man, Spaldings is a junk yard. That there is our treasure chest! AAR forever!!!

 

Yes you guys have an UNFAIR advantage having that in your area

 

That is beautiful work you do. Its great

 

Yes the metalwork that comes out of Jim's shop is amazing. The pickup has come a long ways,everything on it minus the cowl and doors band is new metal. Its going to be painted Dove gray with a black roof.I'm going to run cast finish Torq Thrusts with blackwall 5.60-15 fronts and 10.00-15 Coker cheaters on the rear.
