thnx zyko , btw your link doesnt work ?? and i already thought this was up your alley


did a lot of dryfitting and searching for the right parts and look






then i decided to spray the whole rear in primer to see how it looked .. red is hard to see where there are issues or ..
now it wil be a rougher rod but hmm it actually was pretty smooth ..

gave the tyres a first sand job

Looks awesome
Don't know what's wrong with the link. Either the 'Ü' is an illegal letter, or Autemo just su**s...

sprayed the rims chrome and then after drying painted them with brown oild paint and with a wet cuetip removed the brown oild paint leaving it in the edges and deeper parts



sanded a bit on the primed rear end



here you see its brown in the rims



the cabine is next i guess thats not primed , need to make a strip on the side and clean up some stuff like pannellines

the rear will sit higer eventually so that its got a rake in the cab and bed

just closed some gaps on the inside of the bed , the underside and on the sides of the tailgate .. beside the cut chevy parts its all left overs and some old plastic so i just filled in the gaps with car bondo that becomes rockhard

its drying tomorrow i can sand the bondo



the inside of the bed will get more detail later

started on the chassis , engine in , driveshft and some struts from the axle to the chassis , still rough / start





dryfit





this is how i want to put the body on like the example rod i showed , a bot of rake in the body and bed ...

started on the front suspension , went for the leaf spring suspended .....

oh and for the purists its a chevy front axle with a ford leaf spring ... i know some may go nuts and thinking its sacrilege ..
well its just stuff i think looks cool and it so happens to be chevy and ford parts mixed up hahahaha

"bad mariage" hehe




only need to make the bars from the axle to the chasis





i tried every combination of wheels and i have enough choise , already was thinking nothing would work , it just didnt look right in the front earea ... untill i tried these thinking they would not look good and whow perfect proportions and look





hacked up some rim backs





made a gass tank , and the fun part is the words mean nice hey ? .. that was not done on purpose i sawed a pen to pieces and glued the end caps on and then saw that hahahaha

chassis almost done ...



primered cab and ride hight dry fit

and after the last update took some sidepipes and cut the ends of and glued them on the headers , with some slver and black inside the hole that will really look cool , made them so they are facing up

added a steering rod



and stacks on the carbs i liked that betetr then a scoop , will ad fuellines , gauge , linkage







and the choice > either i keep the front open no radiator or shell or i do something like this
