Sweet build!!!!!!!!!!

pacificustoms · 12-05-2008, 03:39 PM

The dash in the truck is going to be very minimal. There's going to be one gauge cluster out of a '50 Ford in the center of the dash aimed at the driver slightly. The dash we built curves out away from the driver and actually opens up the cabin quite a bit. Still one side to roll and weld in though. The steering wheel is out of a '54 Bel Aire and we're going to modify the stock 3 on the tree column from the Bel Aire to be a automatic column shift for the turbo 350 going in the truck.

A friend of mine who's going to do all of the paintwork on the truck painted one of the door logos. The whole thing was hand painted with a brush and I think it turned out awesome. These photos are before we patina'ed it.

The car painted on the door is actually my other car we competed for AMBR with this past January

Subscribed ~ Sweet build!

Kiamichi Kid · 12-05-2008, 05:09 PM

That is TOO cool. I like the way the dash came out, and the steering wheel really complements the direction of the build.

Rokcrln · 12-05-2008, 05:45 PM

Very cool concept! Great attention to detail on the frame and tube work. I am just over the hill in Winters and might have to swing by one of these days I am just driving around the area.

steveo10 · 12-05-2008, 06:20 PM

Yea, he's a pinstriper so he painted it all with a striping brush. He's the same guy that painted the actual Roadster both the blue, the clear on the wood and the pinstriping on that car. He's a good friend of mine, very talented guy!

Stop by whenever, we're here all week 8-5. Saturdays are in the air right now as I broke my ankle and can't walk or drive for 6 more weeks so it depends whether I can get rides or not...

Sweet, and I have seen that truck also Kevin

pacificustoms · 12-05-2008, 07:41 PM

That truck was the first ground up vehicle I've ever built. I started on it when I was 19 and finished before I turned 21. It's my baby, we've actually been driving it quite a bit this year. Theres still two more indoor shows to take it to and then we'll be driving it more.

pacificustoms · 12-05-2008, 07:46 PM

Here's a couple of my other baby! This one means alot to me as I've had this one since high school and used to drive it to school and racked up over 3000 miles in bare metal and bare wood before finishing!

pacificustoms · 12-05-2008, 07:49 PM

Back on track with the Shop Truck, Here's some shots of the rear suspension finished up. If you look closely you can see the round tubes added under the cab, there's a few more stuffed under there but I must not have gotten a picture before we put the cab back on.

The only thing left in the back is some neatly done air line and some shocks (I have a plan for those too)

SCOTI · 12-05-2008, 08:28 PM

I was extremely impressed w/your 'first' attempt. You definitely are in the right business!

PRORIDES · 12-05-2008, 08:29 PM

Awesome attention to detail. Can't wait to see it done.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-05-2008, 10:15 PM

jlaird · 12-05-2008, 10:16 PM

nuke1 · 12-06-2008, 01:18 AM

i was just wondering, what kind of pipe are you using for your tubing work, I.D and O.D, thanks and fan of your build

dieselarmy13 · 12-06-2008, 02:35 AM

Beautiful work, keep us posted.

pacificustoms · 12-06-2008, 12:29 PM

This truck is all standard seamed tubing. Tubing is all measured by O.D., this truck uses 1.5 inch OD. Pipe is the only thing measured in I.D.. We typically use the seamed tubing for frame work like that but if we're going to build link bars or place a tube where it will be under more stress we'll use DOM or chromoly that are both seamless. We do always bend seamed tubing with the seam on the inside therefore we don't stretch the seam and risk is letting loose down the road.

nuke1 · 12-06-2008, 12:37 PM

thanks for the advice, i was just wondering as they are very clean bends.

Brad2thabone · 12-06-2008, 01:17 PM

Awesome work man, where'd you get that differential cover? if you dont mind me askin.
