New project 49-52 chevy truck

[tiny1]

Thank you very much guys. It was really a shock to win. I really didn't go to the show to win anything i just enjoy watching the people and kids. So far all the kids say look mom a halloween truck it still makes me laugh everytime one says it. Now i need a new project to start on. The wife says no for right now lol.

Been working on the inside of my truck this week. I tried the peel n seal in place of dynamat I spent 75 dollars on peel n seal and 55 on carpet. I ran the peel n seal for a couple weeks and wow did it make a difference in the sound in the cab. Added carpet yesterday still have to install seat belts and some trim pieces today.

How are you coming along on your build? I get so rapped up in mine doing little odds and in stuff when I'm not driving it. Right now its our daily driver the wife's car got jealous of us driving the truck it doesn't want to run i need to work on it but its not as much fun as the truck so maybe later I'll work on it. lol

Great job Tiny! You make me want to finish mine too. Though I have gotten used to watching the asphalt blur by through the gaps around the tranny. I can almost judge the speed. Keep up the great work!

LOL Bonehead i could have saved about 150 dollars if you had told me your trick for checking speed sooner. Thanks bud. Next on my list of things to do is get the glass in it.

Looks good Tiny. I used the same stuff in mine. Carpet?!!! I thought Rat Rods didn't have carpet?

lol its kinda like putting perfume on a hog ain't it. The wife said the only reason i did it was so she would have to keep it clean.

Wow is all I can say. I love the truck, it's beautiful. The styling of your body is exactly how I'm picturing my future rat rod to look like.

Hopefully I can start finding some stuff soon that way I can start working on my own. Your build is definitely a huge inspiration to me.

Advance Design... It was Chevy's nickname for the 47-54 (and early 55) trucks. The 41-46 Chevy's were Art Deco, then the Advanced Design, then after that came Task Force (55-59).
