Hey guys its been a bit and I hope all is still moving on the projects. We just found another great collection of cars that we are trying to get it and will post up asap. We had some time threw the last few week at a 115 temp here is Az to get a few things done on the truck that I wanted to share.
We are having a hard time find anything cool for the front wheels so we might have to outreach for those but we took it on its first test drive....nothing fell off so I guess this was good test drive. We are going to try and have the bed floor done in next few weeks and then finish off the roof, and then maybe start a new project. We are launching a whole new web sit were I will have a blog on the new project and was hoping to interact with customers and RRR members with the ideas for the new project and get there advise to build up something special. If you have any ideas let me know. This 39 was our first project and this is the only forum I post on and a lot of help came from a members (roddguy to name 1), but wanted to thank every one here that treated me just like any other member and not a solicitor....thanks and hope to here some ideas.
Rat Rods truly rule!
at least in my eyes!
39 Updates:
we capped off from frame horns using 53-4 Chevy grill teeth
I had seen a RRR some cool blinkers so we attempted to make them and
ended up with something a little different
we changed front shocks a few times but ended up using the one write from
a 78 Bronco, fit perfect.
We finished taillights which the housings we 40 dodge headlights that we
coned to make smaller then set in 62 Impala lens and the bracket that hold the taillight were taken off some sort of home gym thing that was laying in the back in the truck
We used a 64 cadi steering wheel that we did some touch up work spray paint
We just got glass cut, after finding out we cut the windshield wrong its a little off but will have to work ( lesson learned)
Air cleaner is a old Hoover Vacuum Cleaner base that we just cut of the handles and mounted ( not seen in pictures)
Thanks for looking
