Thread: New Home Made C-Cab !!!!!!

Tweet

I was going to do that with the steering,, But I decided not to because everything would be right in the door openning....A lot of people that come to my shop, call it the Munster's car... I should call them and ask if they want to use it to make a new show...LOL

The four exhaust pipe's will run a long side the body like a running board all side by side..Turning out before the back tire... I just put these homemade zoomies on it for now... They belong to a friend of mine..

I remember one that was on the show circuit in the late 60's that was done in an outlandish purple with huge gold flake in it, wish I could find a picture of it--think it was out of St. Louis area????

Mr.Dave is this the one your thinking of ?? This is the one that Inspired me to build one...

Its all looking great mate, Looking forward to your updates.

I'm shooting for a old 60's style show rod for sure... I'm sick of going to the world of wheels see these new cars with big wheels... Really make's me sick.... That's not what made the world of wheels and other big show's the show's they use to be..... The really Custom cars are a thing of the past... Few people are really gone after that type of build today.... I would love to bring that back... And will try to do at least one a year if I can... This car should have be done by now... But it will come.... I hope to tour with it... If it come's out like I'm hoping.... Thanks again guy's.. It means a lot to hear all the different idea's..

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of.... Check out the front suspension, way ahead of it's time.

I would think that the purple "Pizza Wagon" would be one of Dan Woods creations. From memory, He also did the Ice Truck and the Milk Truck.

Read an article about him a year or so back - probably in The Rodders Journal. He was incredibly talented and built his first show car at about age 16.

I looked at every picture of that c-cab for years... When I first wanted to build one... I was going to build one just like the Pizza Wagon... Then I said that has already been done... Time for a new one... My style... So here we are..
