This things almost finished!!

 

[OJ86]

Autorama?!

 

[Chad.S]

I don't go in for lowered minis too much, but what you have done here seems like it goes beyond that niche appeal, very tastefully done and something there for all to enjoy, the stance, the V8, the gorgeous paint, it's got it all!

 

[Chad.S]

Well here's the deal, i started this years ago when I kinda fell into the mini scene, then my tastes evolved and I went a different direction with it, it took a lot longer because of it, but I wanted to at least grasp my taste a little bit more with it, and take it more into a clean hotrod direction, with a emphasis on interior, a clean but basic underhood, and a fairly stock clean exterior without body mods.

I dont' know if you remember a blazer I was also doing or not but that was going more into the mini direction, and i would have had 30-40k into something that wasn't me anymore, so I let it go and focused on getting this finished with the styling I wanted.

I think I got what I was looking for, now time to knock out the 72 and focus on my 37. i'm really anxious to start that project.

After a 14hr road trip I can finally set these in place, hopefully bolt them in tomorrow.

I like the no-nonsense approach to that interior, clean, and well thought out IMO.

very clean and tasteful truck, excellent job all around!!!

Looks like a neat truck. We have been talking about making the trip up for the Autorama at the end of the month, that would be cool to see it there.

 

[Chad.S]

thanks fella's, if you stop by 82, stop by and check it out, maybe catch you at the show?

The pics dont do this truck justice! It is way nicer in preson!! Wow 2 thumbs up!

 

[Senile Old Fart]

Are the inner front wheel wells made from trailer fenders?

 

[Dub]

It's done too well to tell. The truck is easily a 98 point show truck! It doesn't really matter what the inner fenders are.... they look top notch!

 

[Chad.S]

Glad you liked dub, and yes sof.

 

[Senile Old Fart]

I thought it looked like fenders, thought it was a great idea!

 

[Chad.S]

easy,, cheap.. kinda like me. lol jkjk

Definitely. The interior and the instrument panel is really impressive.

 

[Chad.S]

Just picked this up from the pinstriper tonight, heading to autorama about 6:30am.

 

[123pugsy]

Right on.

I'll be able to see this baby live and in person. That is if it doesn't start snowing all weekend.

 

[Chad.S]

Sweet deal.
Long day, headed to detroit at 7am, and just got back about a hour ago, and heading back again on friday, lol. A lot of driving, that's for sure.


Here it is in it's new home for the weekend.
