oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Picked her up at a yard sale for a dollar. Shes going to be the tow vehicle for the Camarow Boat. (project that stalled because my skill level was not up to par with what I wanted to do)
oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 My buddy rusted her out, I dont know if thats cheating, but I wanted to put that out there! It was his 1st rust job and I like it! Everything else is my doing, good or bad! Added plates to the firewall to cover up the holes for the hood, which the painter misplaced. Will cover the firewall with plates when I'm done, because I kept fingering them and missing them up.
slusher Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Truck looks great and getting help is not cheating and you are up front with it....
oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Jeep Rubicon curside frame, cutout motor and lengthed the frame.
oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Truck looks great and getting help is not cheating and you are up front with it.... Thank you for the reassurance!
oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Puttyed the top of the frame rails and topped off the gas tank. The crossmember was to big and had to be cut down. Painted the frame with craft smart acrylic, which is awesome! Using 77 GMC plow truck rims, tires, spare tire and fuel can. 32 Ford Revell 302 FI pink motor.
oneescalante Posted June 4, 2014 Author Posted June 4, 2014 Bumpers from the scrap pile. 1/32? semi tanker truck front bumper and a credit card. Had to rework that since it was to "heavy" for the front. 3 unknown bumper for the rear and added the spare tire carrier.
1930fordpickup Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I like were this is headed. Like Carl said you were up front with the other guy painting it. So all is good.
oneescalante Posted June 5, 2014 Author Posted June 5, 2014 Gas can rack made from square toothpics, WW 2 Jeep jerry cans and shovel/ax added. Junk pile BMF sun visor and WW2 jeep mirrors. Tried some skid plates!?! But did not like that much and pulled em off. Also thinned out the front bumper.
oneescalante Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 Tried to finish her up....but found a topper for a 65 elcamino and built a camper. Used 2 WW2 jeep surrey tops for the roof and two 34 ford pickup tounnea covers for the sides.
Deano Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Great, outta-the-box thinking! I love the idea! You do know that the headlights are upside-down, right? I mean, they're great for coon huntin' an' all but they won't do a thing for the driving at night.
JTalmage Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 That is hillariously awesome! like the beverly hillbillies!
oneescalante Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 wacky I like it I'll take wacky over tacky or cracky anyday Thanks!
oneescalante Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 i like the 4x4 yeah the Jeep Rubicon curbside frame is awesome, was going to use the jeep wheels but they were to monster truck for build plan, the jeep wheels do look killer though!
oneescalante Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Great, outta-the-box thinking! I love the idea! You do know that the headlights are upside-down, right? I mean, they're great for coon huntin' an' all but they won't do a thing for the driving at night. This is my 4th build, only one close to being done. I get bored with box stock! Good catch on the headlamps! Did not notice that. I got it on the list to clean them up, so I will flip them over. Not glueing the frame to the body and going to work on a pro street frame, 3 different looks with 1 body.
oneescalante Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 That is hillariously awesome! like the beverly hillbillies! Exactly the look I was going for Overhaulin in the Ozarks!
oneescalante Posted June 24, 2014 Author Posted June 24, 2014 Pretty cool build, real nice work.. Pretty cool build, real nice work.. Thanks Carl! Just when I think I'm close to done I want to add more!
