I Picked This Up Yesterday

Thanks for the compliments gents, I am going to work on it some today.

I didn't even notice the wheels Keith, glad you mentioned it.

Mark, I think the rolled pans would have to be removed to do that, but I may put some old school Hot Rod nerf bars on it. Something like on the '32 in the picture might look good. We'll see

Tinker, you need to get out more...

Well, I got the front cross member swapped out today. It's really easy with no engine and trans in it.... It is completely rebuilt but the guy I got it from had it sitting outside for a while... I think I am going to put 6 lug rotors on it so I didn't worry about the rust for now.

On both ends? V-dubs usually have some great ideas for the fronts.
Your choice will surely work fabulously for the rear or both!

Very cool mods that were done by the PO ... they should save a
lot of time, fabrication and $$$, and give the project a nice theme
already started by someone with good vision!

PS---love the color. Would be quite cool in a "pearl" version of that.
A pal had a "buff" colored 67-72 and it fit great with the body style and era.

Have fun! Ellen

Thanks Ellen. I'm just thinking on the rear. I will have to check out the VW's. The wife and I were just talking about color last night. The Kia Soul's have some nice looking colors. like the "Acid Green", "Green Tea Latte", "Latte Brown", and the "New Vanilla Shake". I may play around with Photo Shop one of these days....

Your more than welcome to my personal comments: good or goof. haha

I've always loved greens, especially the ones leaning to mossy, army or soft green.
Not sure about the Acid green but the green tea is quite OK in my book.

I DO like the Vanilla Shake.
It would give you much more latitude in interior choices.

Guess I steer towards the muted...which you have chosen...
but, in my mind, with some pearl to give it that extra POW! your
new rig deserves.
Our trucks have such great, classic looks, it's nice to highlight
that in a paint that shows off its sexy bodylines.

This thread is fun! E

The interior will be Black or Red. Pat & I thought the Vanilla Shake with a Red or Red/Vanilla interior might look good. Dunno, just thinking out loud here....

I tried one yesterday but didn't like the outcome. I'm not real good with Photoshop and my version is pretty old. I may have to see if the guys over in the Photoshop Forum can help me out.
