Any more progress?

Hey guys, been gone awhile. Not much done on it, just driving it to work and around town. Thing is running great. I might roll it to the A&W Thurs. night meet in Lodi.


Thanks, Jesse

Glad to hear your enjoying your truck Jesse. Drove mine to Austin for
The Lone Star Round Up. I have never driven the truck that far since l bought it in 1996. Ran pretty good, but I'm leaking gear oil from my differrential. Gotta re-seal it asap.

Post pics from The A&W Meet if you can.

Now starts the paint portion of my build....Got the interior pulled along with the glass, getting ready to paint the inside and jams. I am still not 100% on a color but it will come to me soon. I will have the seat upholstered while its out also



Messing around and did a fauxtina pattern panel

Guess I'm not the only guy working on my truck in sandals.....nice rides man, my style is much the same bro

[FRENCHBLUE72]

That truck would look great with and ol skool looking paint job on it.

[Smiths63]

Nice ride! I just picked up a 63 and Im tossing around ideas as of what to do. I like it slammed but I'm sure the bed has to be raised too much for my liking. Any idea how high I'd have to raise the bed floor. I like what you did with it and I might be following along. Hope to see you at the goodguys in Pleasanton in August.

This shop has a ton of Hot Rod history. This is where Carroll Shelby and Dean Moon constructed the first Shelby Cobra in 1962. And a whole list of other things cool from Moon beam car to the Moonliner land speed car.

Thanks, Jesse

Nice work, how did you get the satin red, looks great. The Larry Watson panel is a great direction, very 60's and unique. Looks like your having fun with it.

What brought you to Moons Shop? Open house, car show, or just cool people showing you around, incredible tour Thanks.

[DRTYRAT30]

The paint on the truck is just the original that was on it and the panel was just spay can and scuff pad, just messing around in the garage. The color i think im going is Alien green from the Kia Soul cars with a Flat satin Clear coat over it.

I just stopped by the shop when i was down that way this last week and got to talking and the guys showed me around. Very cool people there.

I also stopped by the Orange Truck and Car Shop parts store. Those guys suck, horrible customer service in my opinon. I didnt buy anything then and won't in the future...

Thanks, Jesse

Man.. I have been there like 5 times in the past year. Those guys are the biggest kooks. Its like you have to know exactly what you want and the the number of the product. If you don't, its like taking their birthday away. Soup Nazi! I always forget something too cause I am so rushed. They do have a lot of goodies though..

Thanks for sharing the Moon shop photos. I'll bet your daughter will remember sitting in that dragster for the rest of her life. The smile says it all.
