Rudy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Here are a few pics of my 29 ford roadster pickup, this is the 3-N-1 "goodguys Kit. I really like this kit because it comes with a 4 cylinder for a change, and 2 different cab choices, open "roadter pickup you can use with or withour removeable top, and a "closed cab" pickup cab is also included. It also includes a "track-T" nose. I chose to build mine as a roadster pickup, fenderless unlike any of the box art vehicles, as that is how I like my 1:1 hot rods. I started by cutting out the rear spring crossmember, and relocating it a bit higher on the frame to lower the stance. I also notched the front frame rails in front of the front spring crossmember, and putting the front axle there to get it to sit a bit lower in the front. I split the front 'bones but they are just kinda hanging there, unmouted at this point. I pretty heavily chanelled the bed and cab of the pickup. I shortened the bed quite a bit also. I dont know how I ever lived without a Dremel in the past!!!!!! Please excuse the quality of my pictures, as I am really having trouble getting them to be very clear, and in-focus. The camera is a digital Kodak "easyshare M753" if anyone has some tips for me. When using the flash, I get too much glare from chrome parts and white paper used for background, but without it the pics are too dark as the light in my work area sucks. Both have focus issues. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Pics don't look too bad, but of course if you want better results there's always rule #1: Read the instructions that came with your camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
