Mj-Styro Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Finished, yeah!! First one this year I got over my slump finally! I am working on a rotted rod it is a 1937 Ford Panel Van....... I chopped the top 4" and weathered and pretty much rusted the whole thing, and i think it has the look i am after............... Scratch built the shelving in the back and it will have rusted out old parts................also you might be able to see the floor board is pretty rusted with alot of holes.............. and even tho the engine looks like an old boat ancker it still runs pretty well........... it needed anew starter and batt. (6-volt) fuel tank is gone as it was rusted beyound any repairs.......... neat idea i cam up with on that so you will have to wait till after i get that part done........ She will also have a new intake two strombergs as well.........(as soon as he can afford the set on craigslist) The back doors was one piece and you had to glue it in place when you was building this so i went one step farther i sepparted them to make two doors and also hinged them so they can be opened and closed.......... This wont have any glass (cause glass cost to much to have special cutted) Still aways to go yet tho........ next up will be making a set of headers for it also............just a backyard brew of grand dads old panel truck............. Oh the original tires are wheels were beyound replacing so new was found and put on............ Also added new wood floor boards in theback to help hold up the metal shelving.......this kid doesnt have alot of dough so hes doing what he can do with what he has........even if it isnt right...................LOL Dont even know if the brakes still work at this point........

Nick Winter Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Boy, looks like the kid might want to borrow my '53 ford Farm truck Beater to go parts chasing. atleast I have brakes( I think), I'd throw a peice of ply wood in the bed though, so parts don't exit before they should.

Ryan Quantz Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Dang, kinda remindes me of that '57 Plymouth they pulled out of the ground in OK City! That was my first thought! Very grungy, crusty and possibly toxic. Nice looking build Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
