Build thread 37 Dodge PU

[Mike P]

“…..Never did see a spare tire well that I liked……”

Dave I always thought they were a neat feature …..on a restored truck or resto mod. If I had gone the semi-sleeper and left the hood sides on it might have stayed ( re-working the hood sides to close on the HEMI would have been interesting LOL). For me it just doesn’t work on this truck. I’m not throwing stones at this guys 38 but once I saw this picture I realized had badly it didn’t work.




“…….It looks like it coming together pretty quick; are you shooting to have it road ready for spring?.....”

Falcon I’m at one of those stages that every builder likes……where you knock out the things in a few days or weeks that make a visual change you actually see and feel like you accomplished something. Of course when those are done you’re down to the jobs where you work and work on the detail items and when you look at it at the end of the day it doesn’t look like you did anything.

I’m not really on a schedule for this one but after all these years I really would like to drive rather than push it around LOL. The builds I’ve done over the last several years have all gone into mockup then been torn back down for the engine rebuild and paint and body then re-assembled before they got put on the road. I’m really thinking on this one I might actually get it running and driving for a bit before I tear it down for paint. The only major thing I’m missing to do that is a working 518 transmission.
