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.

Man I have not seen this one before, I need to come over on this side more.. Look killer man!

What's the plans for the Dash? And when's that motor going in?

Thanks,come over here anytime.
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,

Its looking good, would like to see the interior completed and shots of the rest of the truck.

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??

ChevLoRay · 06-09-2009, 01:55 PM

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

Spray-Bomb · 08-29-2009, 12:45 AM

Updates ???

Inverter · 09-05-2009, 02:12 AM

Pics are out of order. Got the motor/trans in,exhaust ran,mounted the new valve blocks,lots of misc. stuff done. Still so much to do but its a little progress to view.

Inverter · 09-05-2009, 02:21 AM

jb1016 · 09-05-2009, 07:45 AM

Looking good, man. What are the specs on that motor?

Does that question come under the same realm as asking a rancher how big his spread is?

Kim57 · 10-02-2009, 12:40 AM

Looking good. I like the solid bed.
I built one for the 57 pro-street I'm doing.
Kim

smashingchuck · 10-02-2009, 12:49 AM

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!

Inverter · 10-02-2009, 02:29 AM

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.

Man, you never cease to amaze me. Looks awesome!

ChevLoRay · 10-02-2009, 09:50 AM

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?

gmt400 · 10-02-2009, 10:49 PM

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.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-03-2009, 10:04 AM

She looks good for sure and those colors are gonna rock that truck to the next level.. Maybe blue on the wheels centers unless ur gonna run some white walls...
