Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
Awesome build, I love all the small details that make you stare at the truck until you figure out what was done.

I did machine work for 20 years, sometimes you get some wild optical illusions. some times they look deep but you can't even feel them.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
I see a 55/ 56 pickup in the background...but I am guessing it's not going to be as insane as the black 57? The 48 is more than awesome by the way. Maybe I'll get the patience for this level someday. The things I seem to look past on mine are really just a matter of a "oh well, it's just going to be a driver, I want it done now" attitude.

Late last night the truck was picked up from Ron Mangus and hauled back to the bat cave to install the final details on the truck. Here is a sneek peak at how it is shaping up. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but something is better then nothing. |

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
Did y'all get the truck to SEMA? I’m super anxious to see finished product pics. Keep pushing the envelope guys. And one more question would you proffer to build the tube chassis or a box frame chassis? Just curious because the tube frame chassis was awesome.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
Looking better all of the time. Please show us A LOT of interior pics when it is finished. I still need to do my interior and seeing how a pro did it will help.
Nice work Marc

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
Is that the radio sticking out under the front of the seat? What else do You have stashed under there, seems like a good place to put stuff you dont want to see.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
I really like the machined front emblem. Any change of getting a copy of the Solidworks part file?
