A.D. Roadster Rat by Paul's Mobil Metal Art

The guy building my '54 for me has a Roadster P.U. he's building I thought you'd all like to see. If you're following my build thread, you'll see why I call him a metal artist. This is all his work. Note his custom grill he created.








Enjoy!

Anybody know what those taillights are from? I'm looking for ideas for my 57. I like the RP too.

Re: A.D. Roadster Rat by Paul's Mobil Metal Art

The roadster pickups are not my cup of tea and this one at least has nice wheels. I would try to hang some front fenders on it to close that area off. Maybe he can fabricate something.

It's a running work in progress like the sign says in the 2nd pic.

Re: A.D. Roadster Rat by Paul's Mobil Metal Art

I have to agree on the front wheel wells,,, they seem to big and way out of scale to the rest of the truck. Other than that its a pretty sweet truck.

Funny you all noticed the same thing. He was working on a custom inner fender today. When he gets the fenders done I'll be sure to post pics. BTW, My '54 should be green this time next week.
