Mini 72 C10 or C5?

I had the Awesomest request from my wife after going to Sparks of Insanity this past weekend. (a local car show) She wants me to build her a Mini version of my C10 for her to drive around at the shows...

And you know what happened next! Wheels went to grinding in my brain and I began planning this Mini-C-10. I think this will be the correct place to put this build since it will be just a smaller verison (1/2 scale) of my 1972 C10. I will be posting pictures as I complete different phases of this build. Starting with the Frame.

The Total goal will be to make this "truck" look and work Just like My C10...
Air Ride, Running, Driving, Mini-C10 Truck.
Watch and see ,
Lots of fun coming soon, to the Forum near you...

Re: Mini 72 C10 or C5?

I'm thinking, Fiberglass body, completely formed and created by me...
Should be alot of fun.
Already have some parts to start and I have formed the frame rails today. pics as soon as I up load them to Photobucket.
I'm so stocked about this. I can't believe my wife took suck a liking to this.
She has always supported me in all my work, but this just makes me so happy.

Also, for the OP, those frame rails are looking good. Can't wait to see the cody panels.
