502

Haha that's one of my favorite quotes from bubbles.

I've been wanting to do a gasser so I figured it was time to build one. I had this 55 nomad sitting on the shelf for a little while and thought I'd put it to use. If anyone has seen this kit the frame is going to require some scratch work but it shouldn't be that bad. Here's a quick mock up from last night to give you an idea of what its going to look like. If anyone doesn't understand the door lettering its just a little trailer park boys humor from the tv show. For some reason I cant post pictures from photobucket so I guess the attachments will have to do for now.

Brought home another trophy last week at a local show and made it in Scale Auto's December issue. Its time to retire the truck from any shows but I'm about to start on the next. It will be a 65 chevy styled kind of like the trucks porterbuilt and delmo's have been building lately.

Badass as always.

That was my first time going. I got lucky and brought home a trophy as well.

Thanks guys

That is sick!

Darren here is the link to his old site so you can atleast see what he offers. It will probably be just a little bit before you could order anything. He's been gone for about the past year. He said he had family issues to deal with so now he's in the process of finishing the orders he already had. He is a good guy to deal with and he has good parts. The site probably has some contact info on it. http://jbhobbies.freewebspace.com/

I thought I would post this under glass since its now completely finished. I took it to derby city shoot out this past weekend and took 3rd place in the rat rod class. I also won best rat rod at a local show several months ago. So now its on to the next build. I'm going to start a 37 ford pickup real soon.

Anyone going to Derby City Shootout tomorrow(7/27/2013)? Its in Louisville Ky.

So I finally got around to completely finishing the truck and adding a few extras. Derby City Shootout is Saturday so I figured it was time to get it done. I added mirrors, tail lights, and some junk in the bed to go along with the whole "rusty money salvage."

Thanks guys, the pin striping is easy just very tedious. I just use a brush with a fine tip And paint them on. Just need to make sure the paint is right. It needs to be a little on the thin side. Nice saying Danno. I like it.

Some long overdue pictures. The truck is nearing completion. I still have some small things left to do on it. I kinda messed the striping up on the hood. I need to thin my white paint out but I didn't. Still need to do some weathering also.

I like it.

Nice looking little truck you got. Something similar to this setup might look good. I think the colors would look good anyways. https://keithsonlinecruisein.shutterfly.com/10640#10639

I think the stacks are perfect. They would look dumb if any smaller.

Heck yea, that turned out great! I was wondering how it was coming along as the forum was down.

While the forum has been down I have still been at work on this build. I think all I like is the drive shaft and a few other minor things.

I decided that I would stripe my dash again. Im pleased with how it turned out.

Heres some better pictures of how I did mine.

I think the body looks great. Maybe alittle too much rust on the motor though. I would put some hub caps on it. Heck I would probably just use the stock ones the kit comes with.

Well here it is. For the front I took a match and heated up the edge of the a arm up against the frame and bent it up. The lower a arms can be bent without any heat. for the back I did it just like any custom frame so the truck would sit low. I dont have a picture of the frame finished but I just made a simple box over top of the rearend allowing the frame to drag the ground. I have it finished now so I will get some pictures of it tonight.

Well mine was nothing special about as simple as you can get.

I will get you some pictures of how I did mine. The front was really simple but I decided to scratcbuild the rear half of my frame. I guess it really depends if you want looks or accuracy.
