Robert81 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I going to be starting my build for this on August 1. I have it entered in a 72 hour build, on a different forum. It will be a quick build, by most people's standards. But it is a ton of fun. Look at the hot rod I built for the last Quick Build, we did there. This one took just over 24 hours to build from box to shelf.
sdrodder Posted July 21, 2008 Author Posted July 21, 2008 Wow nice rod. Well today i am actually goin to start on my 50 ford truck. Kinda played around with an air ride set up. Have most of the materials just need to see if it works. Then need to see how low i can have it go . Rightnow it is in for a nice shave some fender skits customized rear fenders. Oh wait i spelled it wrong i mean Kustomized rear fenders Will post some pics later tonight. Will wire the motor and maybe plum it. Thats it for right now. Any updates from you guys??

CAL Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Been working in the paint shop today. It is supposed to be iridescent blue, but it’s not very iridescent
sdrodder Posted July 22, 2008 Author Posted July 22, 2008 Well been running my head into a wodden wall. Been trying to build a working air suspension for my 50 truck. Well first i wasted about 7 inches of plastic then abot a foot of thin hose and now about 30 bendy straws. Preety mad. Either it blew up, didnt let air in, flew aparts, Had a leak ect. I just scraped the idea. Need to talk to ajulia on this board if he can tell me how he did his poseable hyrolic setup. Gona wip that in there then. Well besides my headbanging, i got a template for my fender skirts and got the tailights picked out. 59 caddy lights in origional 57 chevy roof rockets or whatever they were called. Gona cut my skirts either tonight or tomorrow then mold them in and the mold the tailights in. Anyone have a 53 for grill with the canted quad headlights???? Would love to put one in like that for the grill and then caddy bumperets. Color well thank EvilOne for that. It will be testors jade green with flake over it. May have him even mix it up for me. Well thats my update so far. Love the color on the 61. Love it. Well gona catch some fresh air now and help my dad out in the garden. MAybe tomorrow i will start headbanging again. Hope you guys are havin fun.

I have seen a mild rod once with wire wheels like kaddy style not the lowrider wheels. Its kindof a dark green on the fenders and a mint green on the rest of the body. Well i will start on my truck now. Hope to have some pics by tonight or tomorrow. Well see you guys latter.

I just modified my rear fenders with the roof scoops form the origional 57 chevy kit. Also skirted the fenders and molded them in. Well whatcha think. No all i need are some bullet taillights and a 53 ford canted quad healights from the truck kit. Well whatcha think. Still need to finish putty work and then primer it.
