It was a close second so I guess I’ll throw that in the ring as next! Okay, I'll note it. You already posted a pic of it in your "other" thread so we know it's a real thing, but wouldn't hurt to post an "as it is now" pic of it here too. GITTER DONE!

Tom Geiger Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Oh what the heck.... 1950 Ford pickup that's been sitting forever. Paint is surely dry! I will start working on it. Note the custom bed and roof. This will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I hope to have pictures before morning. Just a quick update: I almost have the rollcage padding finally done/fixed. Installed spark plugs, yesterday. I think I am finally getting close to mounting the body...I think! It seems to be one step forward and one or two back, lately. I did take a couple of days off, from this project while I was installing the duct work for my spray booth (at long last!) and getting my resistance soldering unit up and running. Back on the dragster, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straightliner59 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Okay! I got the cage padding fixed, along with replacing the melted zip ties. Got the 'chute mounted, as well. Soldiering on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince66 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Okay got the picture thing figured out so here's my newest update not much but still something. Should have this truck done in time as my mustang is in the box to figure out what to do with it since I screwed up the nose area on it. So the mini Driptroit 8V71 arrived with the fuller lone roadranger transmission hehehehehe. Also got a can of Driptroit alpine green from Napa for the engine which will be decanted and sprayed thru my pasche airbrush. Engine/trans by itself then tested in the frame yes i do have suspension for this truck just taking time as it's multi piece. Still working on the rear axles for mini freightshaker.

I'm beginning to have a little hope, myself. Was hoping to get some done, this morning, but, heavy snow (Yeah, on May 20-21!) took out the power while I was at work, and it wasn't on, until I got up at 2:30, this afternoon. I really could have used the therapy, this morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resprayed with Tamiya White primer, changed the color I was going to use, the Tru-Color Raspbery pearl was to dark so I went with MCW Raspberry Metaillic. Interior was painted with 2 different colors of brown from Tamiya Spray cans. Hope to have finished next week finished the BMW today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince66 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Couldn't decide on which Trailer for this western Freightshaker so this was the easiest to get caught up with the truck this trailer lord is 8 maybe 9 years old or older. Also cored out the reefer exhaust with a #80 drill bit. Stripped the original paint off did some other work to it didn't realize how many if these trailers I have lying around waiting. Also painted mini Driptroit in genuine Detroit Alpine green went in real nice, thin and smooth lots coming in next couple week's. Onto the pics.
