Wonderbread Kustomz

Yessir... Thanks bro... I appreciate the good words...

Very nice! Love the look of this !

That came out very nice!

Welcome... Can't wait to see this project take shape...

Thanks Carl... I appreciate it bro... And the beginnings of a motor...

Thanks fellas... Got the tailgate done and the rear frame has been notched... I gotta do a little tweaking to the chassis to make sure the whole thing sits flat... My mistake when sanding and I accidentally warped the chassis a little... Maybe I tryin to be too perfect on this or my OCD kickin in... Does it look level as far as the bed goes?

Thanks bro...

Thanks Bob... For the bed, I used the salt technique... Followed by scrubbing the bed with rubbing alcohol... Then an acrylic wash... The cab, I had done about a year and a half ago. I used red oxide primer, and then used acrylic paints with a cosmetic sponge, then lightly scrubbed in places with rubbing alcohol to expose the different layers and showin through to the primer in places to have a rusted patina effect...

After about three passes with some acrylic washes, I got the body and bed floor weathered to where I like it... The drivers side doesn't have the texaco decal... Figured it would look cool with just one side done like that...

Thanks Carl!

Lookin killer!

Yea that's sick!

Darren, that's lookin very cool! Keep up the great work brother!

Well, I have the bed painted... Gonna give it an acrylic wash to grime it up a bit... Jantrix , thanks for tellin me about scrubbing the body with rubbing alcohol... It really helped... Working on getting the bed floor painted at the moment...

Can't wait to see you get back on this one again...

Thanks Carl... Yea, I try to keep myself busy a lot... Darren, I really appreciate that bro... I dig your work too bro... I wanna do a lowrider build as detailed as your "Aztec Warrior"...

That looks good!

Came out great!

Looks good... Foil would make that look even better! Paint came out nice, and the motor looks good... I did one of these last year, but I slammed mine and weathered it up on some wheels and tires from the 48 Woody...

Now it lays out...

Very cool! Those slicks look killer!

Yea I been starting on projects left and right, but I'm really getting into this one and wanna keep working on it... This was suppose to be a donor for my COE, but in all honesty, I've lost interest in that one... I can always get another donor... Back to the story... I found a pic on facebook one day of a 1:1 patina'd and laid completely out on the ground... So after building quite a few of these trucks ( this would be my 5th build) I decided it was time to put it under the knife... I had weathered the cab and hood back in 2012, and it sat in the box til yesterday... After searching the wheel stash, I found some nice center lines that would look perfect for this, and whitewall tires from Hoppin Hydros... I love the Hoppin hydros tires, I can fit so many rims into these without any issues and they work for me... I got a hole in the bed cutout for a notched frame out back... In order to lay the front out, I gotta remove the crossmember... I'll figure out how I'm gonna go about putting it back in later on into this build... The interior has been started and I have a shop rag in the seat as well as a mexican blanket I made...

Man you did great work on that chop! Paint is very nice... And I am diggin that Vega wagon next to the truck in the first pic...

Thanks man...

Looks great!
