Another new hotrod almost finished

This began as a 4 door 31 chevy coach. I wish I had the picture before my friend turned it into the truck you see here.

Today, 2 years on. 350 chevy with R4 overdrive, power discs , all the goodies.

Should be on the road in a week.

That's doing it the hard way!

I wish I had metal fabricating and finishing skills!

I think it's 2014 Ford Grabber Blue. His 36 International is grabber Orange., so keeping with a theme,


His next project is a 30 Chevy 3 window coupe with 331 Hemi. Wont be long before it's on the road too.

In the very first picture you can see where the back of the chevy 4 door is moved forward to make the back of the pickup cab. You can see the weld seam. But you all knew that. See how the double moulding just below the window matches up with the rear cab. Tricky stuff.

Just a few more tweeks.

Exhaust installed today, just a bit more interior work and done.


BTW the plate says "WIND" not "WINO". Wind as in I build windmills. (Not me, my friend does.) Note the tiny LED back-up lights. Very bright.

Box is all home built. Doesn't look much like a 4 door sedan, now!
