I love rat rod bobber trucks and all kinds of crazy Kustom Kulture nonsense.......but I can't seem to wrap my head around this

i don't know what to say, space ship or just too cool. gonna have trouble putting groceries in the back though. i'd hate to do all that engineering & work & sell it for $11k.
jesse i used to pick up cookie meal at a plant in Fayetteville in my hopper bottom. is that close to you?

The builders post on here, they've made some other radical customs along the same idea as this panel. Would like to know how you get in the darn thing.

The sheetmetal work is awe inspiring but I gotta question the front suspension.....seems to be needing a straight axle...

Andy, I actually live up the road now in Rogers but Fayetteville is only a ten minute drive. It's still my stomping grounds....where was the plant?

can't remember. it wasn't too far off of 71, before they finished four lane- i think the call it 540 or some kinda expressway now. took it to a sanderson farms chicken food plant in hope ar. i gotta come up above little rock this fall when i get home, if you need something hauled from ms just let me know.

i swear that was a pickup at one time. the same truck, same style, no doors and a whole in the roof, but with a pickup cab and not a panel. ive got a picture around somewhere.

I can dig it....I think it's badass

JesseSimon · 07-19-2010, 08:19 AM

Yeah 540, thats the main vein here. I have family living down there in Tylertown, southeast of Jackson.

Met that guy at GG nats, lot of nice fab work on that ride but it is not my cup of tea. The guy was nice to talk to and he is on here a lot too. He said he had done and sold a lot of them- Guessing those are the previous ones above.

I suppose it's ok as an "only for show", but I sure wouldn't want to have to drive the thing over any kind of distance.
