To really appreciate the checkerboard pattern you need to see the artwork on the P-51 fighter itself. Check this out. It's a fantastic site.

Ok,,, Now thats much better,,,,,,,,, Way Cool.

Thanks Guys!! I'm working on several ideas to continue the theme. I have several vintage parts that were used on the P-51 as well as some other planes from WWII. The truck will have a noticable military/military aircraft, influence about it. Finding parts I want to use to keep it authentic has been the challenge but I've found most of it now. I'll keep you all posted as to my progress.

i actually got to work with some guys on a p51d last week, it was so kool to watch him taxi off and take off

Very cool.....

I really like the nose art, Thunder1.
Very interesting project, looking forward to seeing some more.

Have you seen this P-40 tribute truck ? It is for sale on Hot Rod Hot Line...
Kind of pricey though, follow the link after the photo if you want to see
more of the truck...
And post more photos on yours... ‘22

That's one I hadn't seen 22. WOW! Alot of thought went into creating that one. Amazing accuracy in the details. Those stubby headers are an idea I've considered for mine. I'd love to run a Jag V12 too but it sounds a bit more complicated than an American made V8. I dare say, mine won't quite match up to the quality of that one or the price either. The theme will remain very similar though.

Very cool, thanks for sharing the pic and the link. - I really appreciate it! Lots of ideas to draw from.

Hey Earthman, got any of the outside of this one? That windscreen looks slick!

Now this is a dash I like! The aircraft gauges working or not, give it a lot of character!

Thanks for posting the pics!

Thanks GT. I've seen those pics before. The chain drive steering is unforgettable. That's probably why I never noticed the windscreen!

Hey 22 - Have you seen the Youtube video of this truck? It's great! Actually there are several on there showing the build etc... This thing sounds just like a V12 Merlin! I love this truck!

Here is the link.

Well speaking of Rambler wagons and Ferrari wagons

there's just something totally wrong about a Ferrari engine in a wagon. Not to sound insulting, because it is innovative, and unique, but that's evan worse than the guy who put the Toyota engine in the 1st. gen Camaro!

What a waste of fine Italian engineering!

Some things I get, some things I don't??? This falls in the latter category.
