Re: the dismantled duo....

Those two blacked out ones look awesome. If I ever finish my first project, it would be fun to do something like that.

Re: the dismantled duo....

I think your buddy is onto something with the way he converted the top and cut the A-pillars. Very aesthetically pleasing. With that said, in my opinion here, I think the fenderless approach would be a mistake. The truckster rendering looks good, but the amount of metal-work to achieve that look is immense. Run this through your mind's eye; Lower it over white-wall (or even black-wall or pin-white) tires and chrome-reversed rims. Add a tuck and roll, bucket seat interior and some Candy paint over a metalflake base. Or, as I might be inclined to do, a white paintjob with a pearl over the top and some pinstriped accents. A short-stepside bed with the upper portion above the fenders being modified with tubing and sheet-metal work (refer to the Barris truck, Kopper Kart). Add some Lakes pipes, a kustom grille and rear facade, and you have a show stopping, early sixties styled Kustom truck that could be done on the very cheap. That's where that cut-off top took my imagination, but it's just my two cents.

Re: the dismantled duo....

I Like the cuts on that alot. If he doesn't go for that idea, I think I might!!! I have a couple of wrap window cabs and a couple of stepside beds laying around. Time to fire up the tools and the imagination!
