BOSWELL891 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 to me pretty much anything that looks cool, sounds good, or has a cool motor is a hot rod to me so i think your all right with your truck
SuperStockAndy Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Count me in, I'm doing a '53 Ford, Flat black and all the goodies Thanks.
Customizer Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 I got some bodywork done on the deuce, long way to go tho. I've got a lot of plans for this one, but I still haven't decided on a motor yet. I started on the next step,sectioning and channeling. I found a while ago the best way to section was to shave some off the bottom, raise the wheelwells and replace the mouldings around the edges with evergreen 1/2 round plastic.
BOSWELL891 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Wow that looks great. Count me in, I'm doing a '53 Ford, Flat black and all the goodies Thanks. awesome
BOSWELL891 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 got the flathead 6 motor finished with added plug wires and added dual carbs. added carbs

BOSWELL891 Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Got my body painted today ill post pictures when i get done applying future to it
Customizer Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Cole, that flatty looks great!! Did some more last night. I got the trim replaced and the interior roughed together to get the channel the right height. Still got a lot to do. I think I'm gonna go with flathead power, there's a real nice one in my '48.
Customizer Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Looks cool Cole, nice work so far. Didn't get much done on mine, got the rear wheelwells in. Thought I'd mock up the suspension to see what this bad boy's gonna look like. I tacked the Hemi from the kit together just to see but I think I'm still doing the flatty. I think I'm going to look for different wheels, these ones are a bit too wide.
BOSWELL891 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Wow thats looking really good. What are you thinking of for paint?
Customizer Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Wow thats looking really good. What are you thinking of for paint? I saw pictures of a deuce 5 window like this years ago and it got stuck in my head. Dark metallic green and lots of chrome.
Customizer Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 When I was chopping the top it occured to me that it'd be hard to see traffic lights driving this thing, so I cut out the insert in the roof and I'm going to install a green tinted window.
maltsr Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 This arrived in the mail today - may I join in?
weasel Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 this is timed right for me to!! i've had this Flintstone body for a while, long while...thought i'd 'work on it'... lol PartsPack Caddy... using the donor 25T switchers kit for chassis and running gear..BigDonkey resin rear wheel/tires, 32 Ford outer front wires with 25T kit innards...gonna use some scale ducting[painted silver] for the exhaust... getting the look.... may take a little longer to finish, i came downstairs today and this is what i found on my bench!!!
Customizer Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Paul that's going to be a cool rod. Dick, yours is radical but I think you should think about a new neighborhood or locking up the cat at night. Busy weekend for me but I got the rad cut and mounted lower and found a better set of wheels.
weasel Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 this will motivate me to finaly finish this piece!!! and maybe the other 5 on my bench.... lol
maltsr Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Thanks Virgil. It’s encouragement and inspiration from great builders such as yourself that keeps the juices flowing in mere mortals like me.
SuperStockAndy Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Here's the '53 in progress...please note that some things will change between now and when I get it finished. The idea is to make it look like something brought out of a junkyard, keeping it somewhat stock and modified at the same time. Edited November 30, 2011 by Andy C.
