I call my truck the Mad Cow. Its a 1970 4x4 SWB. I have before, during and after photos. Let me know what you think.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 06:49 AM

This is my first shot at resizing my photos...looks like I did it too small. I did the stretch in Paint at 25X25.

What did I do wrong?

**88JRFAN** · 05-23-2008, 06:55 AM

No idea on pic sizing, but the truck looks awesome(either color combo). Will be glad when mine is fixed up and painted.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 06:59 AM

This one may be better.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:03 AM

OK...getting better on resizing.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:08 AM

Another view of the engine

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:33 AM

Matched the interior door panel to the outside stripe. Seat is a split bench from a F-150 (sorry about that).

Shot of the rear...

JayDubBlazer · 05-23-2008, 07:42 AM

Looks great, whats the story behind the mad cow name

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:43 AM

The cab, a few years after we started.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:44 AM

I threw this in so you could see the roadster in the corner!

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:55 AM

Before shots of side view.

jpabberton · 05-23-2008, 07:58 AM

I went to get a vanity plate and had a list of about 10 names, CUBS WIN, HOLY COW, HEY HEY, (I'm a Cubs Fan) and they were all taken. The lady had a newspaper sitting on the counter and the headline was about Mad Cow disease. So I asked her, as a joke, if Mad Cow was available. She typed it in and it was, so I took it.

HoupPhotography · 05-23-2008, 08:23 AM

That's funny about the plate, you didn't share that at the meet

That truck is really, really nice!!

When your sizing photos for the when, click the box that says, "constrain properties" or "proportionate" and in the image size type in 600 (the other box will default so the image is proportionate.....

The truck still looks great... I think I might have a few.

I thought I had more but I can't find 'em.......

**Palf70Step** · 05-23-2008, 01:18 PM

Beautiful looking truck. What are the seats out of that you are using?

caminokid · 05-23-2008, 02:09 PM

I do like the currant colors better then the silver...it really stands out now.

I commend you on your tasteful decision to be a cubs fan. I grew up in Des Moines, IA were the AAA team is and now live in Chicago. Go Cubbies
