Terror Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Just playing with this for now.Thinking of chopping it, but then I may just do something crazy,,,I'm thinking maybe reverse chop top???But this is how she sits.Not for sure on the color yet?Still needs some filler and sanding,just showing the wheel well work.Thanks.

Terror Posted April 2, 2011 Author Posted April 2, 2011 Did this in photoshop.Not sure if I like that idea.
MikeMc Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Did this in photoshop.Not sure if I like that idea. :blink: Phone booth ?? Tall T ?? :blink: Gotta agree ...I don't think this floats. I just finished one of these...sectioned and mildly chopped, molded front fenders I do like the skirts... Edited April 3, 2011 by Stasch
Draggon Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Uh, no offense intended, but that reverse chop reminds me of this mess:
Terror Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) Yep.Sorry guys.I think it makes the stance look lower.Still needs to be glued and trimmed.Finished the front wheel well next filler and sanding.Did a little on the interior also.Feel free to move about the cabin.

Jim Gibbons Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Well, one could definitely wear a stovepipe hat driving this. Lincoln driving a Ford?
Dave Wood Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 I did a Reverse Chop of that Reverse Chop with My Parts Chaser Hosted on Fotki
Matt T. Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Well, that sure is unique! Great looking seat upholstery. Where'd ya get that 1/25 burlap? I love it. The fenderless pickup you like looks to be sectioned between the door hinges, effectively making the windows appear taller than OEM by bringing the door metal:window ratio closer to 50:50. You may want to try that on yours, or not. It's up to you. I'm sure people told Ed Roth his stuff was "different" too!
Terror Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) That is just cloth tape,sprayed with motormaster paint, Tundra.About the same color just a shade darker to get rid of finger stains.That section maybe a little more than I want to do,or is it?Seems easier to lift it.Maybe section also,ah man got me going now!A pennie for your thoughts?

Cool tip on the cloth tape - thanks! If you have another '50 cab, try a 'cheater's section" - shave the door hinges and take the amount you want off the bottom of the cab. Works especially well on pickup cabs. Try it and then compare the two cabs and use the one you like more.
Lanny Haas Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Its not to late to glue it all back together!!! but its your creation. Now I do like the seat.... We all have our what if's
Terror Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 Small up date.The roof is on,or should I say up 6mm?Needs some more sanding,but I'm gonna sweep the floor first. Brought the grill and lights out 3mm,a little over bite if you will.
John Teresi Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Terry......really really like this build......comming along great.
retrobuilder Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I like the rear fenders too! did you make skirts and then filled them in?
Terror Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 I like the rear fenders too! did you make skirts and then filled them in? What I did was glue a piece on the back,and then drew outline shape of original,for fit and fill.Then I traced the final shape which is from a 65 chevelle rear quarter.Cut that out and BAM!Then glue some strips to get the ledge.Thanks guys!Love it or hate it I still thank y'all for comments.Don't be shy cause when it's finished my drummer and best friend will tear it apart with his idea of how I should have built it.He will only look at my finished work
ajulia Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Hola amigo! Jus droppin in on ya bro and the build up looks really good! I actually like the raised roof really compliments the height of the truck panels and all !! Gotta hit the gas on this fella really anxious to see her done! Till then T' Keep on wit the keepin on!!!
Erik Smith Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Ya, this is cool. Something different. That flathead looks cool - fenders are looking good.
Terror Posted April 21, 2011 Author Posted April 21, 2011 Did this to the rear window.I left it original size but hey ,things change in my mind so here it is now.This should bring me closer to paint now, after some more filling and sanding.
Jantrix Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I'm really enjoying this. Still some shaping to do, but I really like where you're going here.
