Re: my 98' Streetrod build
The nitrogen bottle saved alot of headache for a friend when he was 9 hrs. from home and his compressor died. Everyday use may not be practical like stated above. He actually used the nitrogen for his train horn but a few tools and some time and he was rollin' again.

The dash is about finished.Its supposed to look that way..Actually I have a couple of pieces to still make for the 2 raised areas but its going to be pretty much the way it looks. The motor is going in as soon as my Friend Oscar gets finished going through the trans. He said next week,,Ive heard that one before. Thanks for lookin, ~T. |

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
Troy -
looking good man. Very original. PM me some info on how exactly that prop valve works. My original one had two lines going in, and three coming out, not sure if that one will work or not?? |

Looks like it's coming together. Nice attention to the details. I know you'll keep us up-to-date.

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
Does that question come under the same realm as asking a rancher how big his spread is?

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
C'mon... what's the choices for colors? I vote for a solid color- deep metalic gold, root beer, red; something that pops. The rest of the truck is sweet and simple, make it come alive!

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
Im still wanting to go w/a Blue.This is a HRF Datona Metallic. I would call it a hard satin.I think some tasteful red and silver pin striping would go well w/it.Might even paint the wheel centers a satin black.
Not dead set on it but Im getting a nice visual. Nothing says Hot Rod like a good new fashioned solid satin color. Last edited by Inverter; 10-02-2009 at 02:33 AM. |

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
The feeling that not much interest in "late model hot rods" didn't fall on deaf ears at my house. Your truck is "off the chain" as my grandkids would say....then laugh out loud when the hear me say it.
John Gilbert, Editor of Custom Classic Trucks, should jump on yours for the build as well as when it is done. He used the phrase "Late Model Classics" for the 88-98's, while not really wanting to be the person to "name" a genre of vehicles. Let's face it, this series of trucks pretty much spawned the Sport Truck movement when they were introduced in '87. Your truck (to me) represents mucho of what the hobby is about. Now, for that blue color, with the black wheels, Y3...... My first car was a '54 Ford Customline 2-dr sedan, nosed, decked, bar grille, '56 Olds tail light lenses, no bumper guards, blue park lenses, all interior metal painted white and running a set of Smitty glasspacks on a dual exhaust system from the 239OHV engine. It had a set of 4-bar Lancers on it and was painted '56 Dodge Royal Metallic Blue. Wheels? Black. So, your pic of the '54 Chevy painted that blue color really hit home with me. Probably the black wheels also had a bit of influence, too. That's the way we did when I was in high school because any custom wheel was just not on our food chain. I mean, c'mon....McDonalds only charged 15 cents for a hamburger and a dime for fries. Shakes? Twenty cents. When you only make 1.15/hour, you gotta monitor and adjust. Then, 10 gallons of Sky Chief Supreme from Texaco was $3.50....which is what I had just put in the tank of that Ford when it got totaled out and it wasn't my fault! So, a white interior with some red and silver accent to tie it all together?

Re: my 98' Streetrod build
I hopped in this thread kind of late so you might have already told us but what are you planning for on the inside of the bed.
