DRIPTROIT 71

That looks excellent!! Where did the grill come from? That looks good!

You sir are truly an artist! Looking forward to more!

Thanks for the encouragement Denise!!!! I like to build period type trucks that would have been found in the 70s and early 80s. Those are my favorite. Thanks to everyone who has commented!!!

Some progress today. Axles arrived from BNL Resin. Those are assembled. One rear leaf spring made. Notice the difference between the one on the truck and the stock one on the desk. <a href="http://s1164.photobucket.com/user/brotherbrian1/media/100_2257_zpsguqgbzwg.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1164.photobucket.com/albums/q575/brotherbrian1/100_2257_zpsguqgbzwg.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 100_2257_zpsguqgbzwg.jpg"/></a> Thanks for the comments!!!!!

Alpine Green definitely, or as we call it Detroit green. Thanks for the comment and encouragement John. I'm a straight gear man myself too. Most of my vehicles are straight drives. On this build, like most of my builds, it is an experiment. I had the Louisville trans, so I just went with it. Thought that I would do something different. Depending on where this build goes, I though that an automatic would be better for mud bogging. Now a ten speed in a pickup will be different for sure. Looking forward to seeing that one myself. Thanks for thew encouragement Sam!

Excellent Work!!

Very nice looking builds!!!

Very cool idea!!! Nice work!

This truck looks amazing so far! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this build!!!!

Very nice work indeed!!!!

BNL Resin has some tractor pulling stuff, they may have some of what your looking for.

Almost thought I was looking at a 1:1. Very nice work!!!

That is one sharp looking rig. Definitely a head turner!!! Excellent work!

Really cool builds. I built my share of the 1:1s back in my younger days. Nice work!

Factory cross members removed. Two new cross members made for engine and transmission mounting purposes. Louisville transmission mated to the 6v-71. Off to a decent start. My axles should be here tomorrow and I can start fabricating son\me suspension.

BNL Resin seems to have a large variety of 4x4 stuff including wheels and solid resin tires. I have several items coming for my 71 Ford from them including a set of 48" Irok Swampers. I can let you know how the quality is when the stuff arrives. The tires would have to be painted of course.

Very cool custom Pete!!!
