Looks good. yeah the good Dr. is a bad influence. One observation though,use your X-Acto to ream out the stacks at the top to thin the walls just a bit.

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL! You know what DOCTOR CRANKY would say, right?

LONG
LIVE
RUST!

Looks like the "Before and After" pics are reversed.

Seriously, though- an excellent restoration.

BTW: The real world supports Shabby and Shiny, Beauties and Beaters as well as Rusters and Racers; so do I!

Where did you get the headlights?

[Jantrix]

Where did you get the headlights?

The local grocery store. He just spray painted a couple of olives. Great work, very ratty. Also this looks like the AMT/Lindberg kit which would make this a '34 not a '32.

The grill shell looks '35 Auburn. I don't think Auburn made trucks, though. Parts from all over the place - that helps make it rat rod - Right?

You gotta love rust...it's cheaper than chrome and lighter than fiberglass...
