Husky1943 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Well, got it finished and I really liked this model! Great price and really looks great, other than a completely open engine bay that you can see into the interior tub and straight to the ground. I could have fixed that, but I didn't. I tried to age it like it was a real truck that the owner is very proud of and just got a new bedliner sprayed in. Thoughts? It was rattle can that I polished and waxed. the build itself is in the WIP section with the same title name. Thanks for checking it out.

espo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Very nice and I like the gas stains around the filler door. Always heated that. Bed liner is a good idea. The engine looks like it sits a little low on the chassis. Looks like a fairly well cared for pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1943 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Thanks Espo! It was a fun build! I should have completely shrouded the engine (builder's regret, I guess) Ciao for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Ha! You didn't destroy a 2+2 by chopping the roof off, xD! Forgot to mention, I like the bed liner touch on the bed. I use that stuff as rust protector under my 1.1 cars. Tough stuff that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1943 Posted July 28, 2020 Author Share Posted July 28, 2020 Are you sure you destroyed it, or simply allowed in more air and light? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air conditioning, the hillbilly way I'll either rebuild it when I can or I'll keep a look out for another body and just do the hardtop, probably the later.

Husky1943 Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Gareth, Brother, you talk hillbilly? I am from the piney woods of East Texas. I knew a guy that converted a vomit-green cadillac for hauling hay. He simply removed the body after the doors, and installed wooden slats on the frame so that he could load it with hay! He could get a bunch of square bales on the back of that car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Well, I live in South Wales, we have a unique accent, farms and tractors are a more common sight than cars and we have our own way of doing things which confuses the heck out of the English, xD! Yeah, I think I'm hillbilly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 We've had a couple inches of rian the last few days. maybe more coming depending on the direction the tropical wave takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Very nicely done. I like it a lot. Most trucks don't get that age without a few stickers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky1943 Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hey Rob! It's Rob. You know, now that you mention it, you are absolutely right. Of course, bumper stickers and stickers, in general, would appear on it. At least, registration and road tax stickers. I remember that Texas and Virginia definitely had/have them, and I think Tennessee, as well. Of course, bumper stickers too. Good idea, Rob!

Yeah, that's right Jim! God willing you and yours don't suffer any effects of any of the storms. I heard that wind shear is really tearing them up, as well as the mountain ranges in Hispanola. Of course, as the weather-pundits constant lament, "we're aren't in the peak of the season yet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
