never did understand the reason for doing such a thing,,but it is a very nice looking truck, does it raise and lower or is it stuck at that height ?? the artsy picture is pretty cool
I'm with Chy on this one, I could never understand the laying it on the ground bit either. What is the sense of it? Could someone please explain that to an older guy? I'm not knocking it, whatever floats your boat, it is your boat after all. Just wondering. Cars and trucks sit on wheels and tires, only junkers sit on frames, rocker panels and cinder blocks. At least that's what life has shown me. This in no way is a put down on your truck. I guess, just the whole bag thing.
i guess the best way to explain it is it just sits alot lower . u guys cant offend me every one has there own style i just like them real low
Neet Lookin Truck, But im on the "WHY" Train. Bags are Ex~Girl Friends. Laying Frame/Rockers or whatever the Daily word is just Baffles me. To me they just look Broken, A Nice Drop is a Must but this stuff just looks Broken !!
thanks 41 c28 i wonder what the ratio of guys that like it that dont and what their age is ? huh food for thought here is a couple pics of the day i brought it home and right before the chop
honestly i don't need to say why. i dig it it looks great. i think hot rods shouldn't be to low but everything else the lower the better when not moving
I'm a little older than I was before. Suffice to say that I'm a '60s kid. I suppose of you have to explain "why" then the words would be lost, a lot like dust in the wind. I personally do the things I do because I can. The truck definately isn't my style. Not to say I don't like it, I like custom Mercs too, I'm just not interested in owning one. 3 months, damn. In the words of Maynerd Krebs "Work, Work!!! " Anyway looks alright to me. When I joined the HAMB I was building a channeled sectioned '53 F 100. Wasn't bagged so it set the way it rolled. Real cartoony kinda like a ProMod car.
thanks for the cool words porknbeaner wow 7000 posts u ben around a bit . thats kinda what we build stuff that makes people go huh kinda like in 32 when these crazy kids put skinnies in front fatties in back took the hoods off no fenders etc.
Got to roll with the crowd on this one - not big on the laying on the ground at all for any car speaking just for myself. But, that is a great looking truck otherwise and think you've done a good job with the proportions on the chop, etc. I am not big on patina either unless it is a work truck, again, speaking for myself. Will look way better in my option with a good finished shiny paint job and nice interior too. But, off to a great start with this one. I also am not too big on SBC's and especially 350's, but hey it actually is a Chevy and has a hood, so probably not a bad choice for it actually.
Think it looks great the way it is. Build it to please yourself, or you'll never be happy with it. Conformity is overated.
wasn't an attemp to offend you asked ,,I said I think it looks great,,just that I don't understand it thats all and now that i know it raises the makes more sense..I just could'nt see how you could drive it the way it is in the pictures is all
Looks broken, thats all I can think when I see one slammed all the way down on the pavement like this. Kinda like a roadster that has 8" of z between the firewall and grill shell. Shit just looks broken to me. Some guys love it, others don't. Guess thats what makes the hobby great. Oh, and for the record. I would be considered on the younger end of the spectrum, so age has nothing to do with my opinion on this one.
