Robert81 Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 I started with this. I used a scratch built frame I had started and decided not to use. I cut two slots in the back of the cab for the frame rails, removed the poorly chopped cowl, glued the frame to the floor, and used the frame to align the cowl to the body. Cut up a piece from the parts box to use as the suicide axle mount. Built motor mounts for the 57 Ford Y-block, slit the front wishbone, shortened a 48 Ford torque tube, and fitted the wheels to axles. It still needs more work.
Chuck Most Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 Way to put those pesky leftover bits to good use!
Smart-Resins Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) I know the feeling. I like the direction you are going with your truckster. My question is what will you do for hinges? Here is what I started doing with mine. Jody Edited July 25, 2009 by Smart-Resins
Robert81 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 Thanks guys. I know the feeling. I like the direction you are going with your truckster. My question is what will you do for hinges? Here is what I started foing with mine. Jody I'm using the hinges from the hood sides. Took a little work to get them to fit, but they work nicely.
