Some really great rides over there! Thanks for sharing and your truck looks great Kees!

[RockinKees]

Thanks guys!!

I've got a question for you:
I can get some vintage Slotmags for free, 15 x 7.
There are only two....
Should I mount them on the back of the truck and maybe look for some to match on the front?
Or keep the steelies??

Can't remember seeing slotmags on a Taskforce.... So if you have some pics to show for reverence, please post them here?

Thanks!!

[Advanced Design]

If the truck were mine I would keep the steelies. Could just me me as I was never a fan of slots, even back in the 1970's when they were all the rage.

[reaper71]

Stick with the steelies with maybe a cap like these?

[RockinKees]

I've thought about the wheels....
I'll stick with the steelies
Maybe a bit wider front and back to have a bit more meat to look at.
Future plans.....

And we're planning a trip to the Hot Rod Hayride in Engeland, July 2017
Three and a half days of pre '65 Hot rods and good old Rock n Roll

Haha, it should be!!!
If you never heard of it you should take a look at youtube, lots of nice videos

I finally have my headliner complete in.
Had the inside roof insulated, made 4 wooden bars to hold the wooden plate, at which I screwed the lisence plates on.
The plate is screwed on the 4 bars, see it as a lockjaw, a free floating headliner.
It's stuck tho
I tried to turn the pics, but that doesn't work?

Pic #1: insulated and 2 of 4 bars installed
Pic #2 cardboard template of the wooden headliner, this took a while to get it right...
Pic #3 Wooden plate painted, ready to go in
pic #4 finished Hot Rod heaven, difficult to take a picture with that backlight...

[Advanced Design]

Very cool headliner!
