1-ton of fun · 02-24-2008, 12:18 AM

cal's truck has a hood. it may just be a reflection on the hood that makes it look that way

Phatt47 · 02-24-2008, 01:46 AM

Nope when you click his avatar a pic of his truck without a hood comes up,looks like it might have been at a show.LFE

If memory serves me correctly he won ToTM without the hood!

Too bad he didn't win ToTY with the hood!

JohnnyG. · 02-27-2008, 06:52 AM

why has this turned into a ratrod thread? please dont follow a trend and finish the truck. that 39 does look pretty cool, i wouldnt run the hood though.

Phatt47 · 03-08-2008, 06:27 AM

here it is hoodless

BigJackDaddy · 04-01-2008, 06:38 AM

Cal, That 60's chop is just sick! It literally looks like it should float down the road.

Anyway, It's been since Nov that I've been out in the shop. When I left off with the '58 Viking chop, I only had 3 of the 4 posts welded back together and still had to fill the cut I made to widen the driver's side of the roof. Since I've been able to get back into the shop for a couple of hours each of the last two days, I've been able to get the last pillar solid and most of the roof-cut filled.

Soon I'll be working on the doors, but I start a couple of weeks of night-shifts at the plant and the transition usually kills any home projects for a week or so.

Here are a few pics of my 48. Extended cab/chopped top.
