bitner Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I finished this tonight except for fabricating cab hinges. Any thoughts, or comments.
mistermodel Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 FANTASTIC!! You did a great job on the conversion. The drom looks good. I'm getting a little braver with scratch building,so maybe I'll try one some time.
lizardlust Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 WOW!!! You did a masterful job of converting it over - looks awesome!!!
84vanagon Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Excellent!!! 5 stars on the conversion!
bitner Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 thanks guys, I had a blast building it. The looks of it kind of grow on ya:)
67PontiacGTO Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Looks incredible. I have never seen anythin like that. Too cool!!! Clutch
Old Albion Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Bill, This is superb!! It looks like its right out of the 1960s, the spoked wheels the paint scheme the detail and the excellent scartch building skills have made a very impressive truck. Look forward to your next build. Best Wishes Dave Bates
ns4ever Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 wow. what a cool idea. looks real nice now it's done. tempted to have a go at one of these andy
Aaronw Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Great job, what motor did you tuck in there?
bitner Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Hi Aaron I used the radiator and engine out of the Ford Louisville. I still need to fabricate some kind of hinge for the cab. Cheers: Bill Edited September 18, 2008 by bitner
chrismooney Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Wow Nice, I really kile the Wood sides. How about adding some Tire's in the cargo area... that woud be cool
chuckyr Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Good job. Looks like something you would see out west during the mid 60s hauling hay trailers.
sourkraut Posted October 16, 2008 Posted October 16, 2008 Really nice build of a truck that was the engineering equivalent of Frankenstein's monster. I like it! Period perfect.
chuckyr Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I found some excellent reference material on the net. http://public.fotki.com/wackydave/car_rela...e_-_old_ads-20/
