Hi Johnny, Like this one alot!! You are right on the mark for the look you were after. Randy

Hi Red, Of all the work you have posted so far, this is my favorite!!! Lots of character in this build. Randy

Hi Johann, Very nice work so far!! The bed looks just right. Randy

Hi Ron, Sweet looking truck!!! Really like the shiniy paint with a little 'wear and tear' Randy

That is all I have for now, thanks for looking in! Randy

Starting with the cowl....

Hi Folks, Brad, Thank you my friend Thanks Clay Thank you Rob! Thanks Mike, Good to be back! Thank you Greg!! Ryan, Thank you! Thanks Mark! Chris, Thank you, with your skills you would be fine with the metal! Hello Niko!! Thank you for the kind words, I will be getting back on the drag car also! Hi David, thank you and I need to find and check your progress update... I have had a change in thinking as work resumed on this one. Going to go with a hot rod look as opposed to the rat rod that inspired me in the first place. I have been checking out reference pics of 1948 Diamond T trucks and decided to change. Still going to keep the no front fender look and keep it low to the ground, just better looking paint :D Some ref pics....

Hi Darren, Had great fun catching up with this one and going thru it all again, the paint and finish look awesome!!!! This is one of those builds you keep going back to. Congratulations, Randy

Hi Mike, Great choice, these 50's trucks are sweet. Really nice work getting that hemi in there :) Look foward to your progress! Randy

Hi Chris, Awesome scratch work!! Like the amber lights better than the grills too. Randy

Hi Mike, Good to see you finishing this one up :mellow: Looking forward to seeing the completed interior with all the cool details you made!! Randy

That is all for now, Thanks for looking in! Randy

Hi Folks, First off, aplogies to those who commented on this thread in the last year. Did not intend to take a whole year off but everything is fine now and am ready to get back to this one. Working on the cab, building up the windshield frame, gutter and fixing up the roof. Have never been happy with the shape of the roof and it took some damage in storage. Will use a two part metal filler for repairs....

Hi Tyrone, Awesome work!!!! The motor and electronics are really looking good. Thank you for the info on the beads. Randy

Hi Wayne, The car is looking great!!! Those tires and rims are perfect. Randy

Hi Greg, That pulley peice is just an amazing bit of scratch work!!!!!! The new tranny looks good too! Randy

Hi Tyrone, Awesome looking motor! You detail paint with the best of them. The front springs and the hoses all look great. Keep it coming! Randy

Unbolt everything to work on the brake lines, Rb Motion A/N fittings and I made a little bracket to bolt to the front of the differential .. Thanks for looking in, Randy

Checking things out with the tires..
