The cab is moved back quite a bit from the mock up with the dodge 1/2 ton sheetmetal. I think it will be a more streamlined look once the wheel openingss are filled in and the truck is lowered.

I may be showing my ignorance but, what is UK blue?
I love the '40s dodge trucks and like the direction you're headed.
Keep at it.

Whew, I thought it was just me.
Flipper, I saw this pic on the puter a while back and want one like it.
May be my next project.
Certainly resembles your head light idea.
The paint job is a little over the top for my likes but still kool as all get out.
Any Idea how that paint was done?

Thanks for posting that pic. Those do look like 37 ford headlights.

Just the right amount of room to have the headers dump out behind the front wheel.
Maybe, but I don't like the sound of 1 cylinder bank out the side. I planning on running the exhaust out the back, probably one big single exhaust down the passenger side (plastic gas tank on drivers side)

That looks like that color changing paint, one way you look at it it's one color, look from another angle and it is something else.

Yep, Chromillusion or Iridescent or whatever else it's called. Looks like they put down the Chromillusion, then the ghost flames, then the clear, just like typical ghost flames.

Still sitting on the build table. Life has gotten in the way this past year.
Now now BN, if we pressure him into finishing his project then we will be forced to finish our own stuff too! And, as far as I am concerned, I have too many new projects to start to think about finishing anything! [cl

I'm taking the flatbed to the Bunny Run in Jackson, TN this weekend. Hopefully that will light a fire under my butt to make some progress on a project.
