Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

thanks Ol Blue!
been dickin' around with my deora. i know it's a show truck & goes for the wow factor & doesn't have to be practicable, but i want to make it more of an everyday truck. the sideways mounted gauges & steering column are going, almost have this '65 chevelle dash mounted in there like a conventional vehicle.

which means the front clamshell door is not going to work. i'm eliminating it & etched some doors in the sides, opened up the wheelwells & got rid of the show truck exhausts

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

Right now it kinda reminds me of lunar vehicle...the chevelle dash should help get rid of that. Can't wait to see it progress.

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

yeah, it does resemble some kind of space mobile, & it's almost a 50 yr old design! once the exo skeleton, f&r winches, big bumpers, cab rack, roof rack & a bunch of other junk goes on, hopefully should resemble something more earthbound
mix-mash interior so far. '65 chevelle dash, '95 firebird steering wheel, & i lengthened a '96 explorer console. got to make some window cranks & door handles

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

Dash and console looks good in there. Takes some of the futuristic look away. Nice job

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

dont know Dale, started a exo-skeleton cage & it still looks like a moon mobile, maybe once the bumpers & stuff are on....
closed out the door & sanded the pebble grain off

thinking white with black bumpers & cage & these stripe decals i made on PAINT. the black wood is for cabinets inside, & the granite decal is for the floor & counter tops

Size:  40.7 KB

axles weren't wide enough, cut off the tubes, drilled them out & made them longer with some 1/8 tubing, added valve stems to the rims too. started the cage, the f&r tubes will eventually tie into the bumpers, the middle bars & ladder will tie into some rocksliders

Re: '64 chevy 2wd to 4wd

dont know 'Ol Blue, still spacey looking. maybe if i cut the side windows more square-ish....
with this great summer weather, this has slowed down to the back burner, have managed to squeeze some stuff in though.
molded in the flip up windshield & front door, looked kinda plain so i added some 030 rod around the windows for trim. made a bed, couch, table, counter with cupboards & a flatscreen for inside.

decided to go with the carbed chevy, the LS is too much eye-candy to waste on this, you will never see it once it's mounted, which meant moving the engine mounts & making a new tranny mount, & cutting off a bunch of he 2wd stuff as well. started a front bumper (will have a big guard of expanded steel), & just started the springs

Spacey or not it's looking cool. You're doing a lot of cool custom stuff to it.

case was courtesy of my wife. in the early 90's she worked at Kmart, then the canadian K's closed & she brought this nintendo display case home. if you pull off the auto stickers, there's nintendo wrote all over it.
started making a topper, & some of the rear susp. in.
