Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Thanx Guyz...
![]() No time today for the truck... ![]() ![]() Here's a couple of trucks that were at my friend's place… he just traded a 65 Chevy station wagon for the green GMC and the old GMC is a future project… Here's a few shots of the ratrod project, quick plan is to build and flip to fund my Garage... ![]()

Cool trucks. I really like the Dodge. I like the frontends on those. Plus I like full fender trucks.....

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Nice pic Don.
Where is that classic kids kart body? Maybe someone has an old pedal car chassis laying on a scrap heap that you can graft in under it?? You could age the whole "modern" frame to have similar patina. FULL BUILD THREAD HERE http://retrorides.proboards.com/thre...rt-resto-rider Hope you don't mind, but thought I would post up some pics of one I restored 3 years ago. A friend has rescued the pedal kart in the pics below. It is a Kettler , and they seem to be the Bee's knees of these type karts. Let me know if I am wrong. ![]() ![]() This one looks and is as bad as it looks, but his boy has absolutely fallen in love with it. The steering is buggered, brakes non-existant and clearly, paint and rust are issues too. That said, he wants me to see if I can resurrect it, as he had saved it from the crusher, and as I said to him, if I had seen it on a trip to the tip, it would have found its way into my car for sure. ![]() IT WENT THROUGH QUITE A LOT OF EFFORT TO GET TO THIS POINT...... The other stickers came from my collection of allsorts. You will notice, the colours are Sinclair Oil Corporation colours..... ![]() So if you had any chassis like this to modify and build in under the body, it could be perfect.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
So today started off cutting the P/S Box Adapter from the bent frame, then
dropping the '85 front crossmember... ![]() Then with the help of my future Son-in-Law, we rolled the bent frame outta the way, then we rolled in the straight frame, dropped the '65 Crossmember and positioned the frame over the '85 Crossmember... ![]() Of course we had the Grandson Supervising!!! ![]()

Front cross member slide in pretty easy? I'm using a '79. One drilled hole on each side.
Looking really good there Don. Last edited by Bomp; 12-13-2014 at 10:02 AM. |
