What a difference a bed makes !!!!

I know,I know... This isn't exactly traditional but I thought these pix would help someone out with a lakes modified lay out. This is my buddy Joes Zipper lakes modified before bed and after.

 

and after

 

mmmmmmmmmmm

Which look do you like better?

 

I say no bed is better... maybe a tank back there... or a turtle deck... just my opinion...

 

I think it looks better with the bed.

 

Yes, I too like it much better without the bed and the idea of a turtleback is a good idea. Looks better with the wheels on the first pic too.

 

no bed, and smoothie wheels w/ caps and WWW's.

he he

 

no bed, no deck, just an oval or round tank and moon's WAYYY better!!!

 

Now if he'd just git rid of the yellow stripe... that would make a BIG diference!

Sam.

 

With bed,*****can the stripe.

Or give it to me, i'll repaint it and drive the cat***** out of it!

 

Turtle deck, but not a '26-27. Use a '25 and section-shorten it to about the length of that bed.
And ditto on getting rid of the yellow stripe. looks too "Tonka Toy" and not in a good way
(Put a gold leaf #5 on it instead!)

 

loose the yellow.

 

Lose the bed. I gotta perfect tank for it off an old combine. Ditch the 4 bars for split bones and keep the moon discs.... the jello stripe gots ta go....

 

I like the bed addition! And agree with the lose the yellow.

 

Shed the street-rod paint scheme, keep the bed but add 6-8 inches to it with a rear bellypan and you'll have something that's well proportioned as well as interesting.

 

I like the bed. Lose the yeller stripe.
