Crow,, we have no idea what that helmet is made of, but Tommy broke 2 bits trying to drill a hole to mount the grenade/nut to the top,,,, ended up using the plasma cutter to get a hole in it.

Hope to get some more pics once the  body is fitted on.

 Sounds to me like it is a real one!  I wore an old ww2 bucket over in Nam for awhile, they are tuff.   I'll try to get some pics of my trucks progress as soon as I figure out this new camera.  Good luck at your next meet.    Crow :-D

J Six,,  Ok it is not a rat rod "per say"  it is a " Un-Rusto Rod" or an Old Skool Rod,

Or just an old 38 Dodge Truck, made into an extended cab, chassis Z'd in back, dropped front axle and top chopped, with an old skool  327/300 style motor !!!!  oh year we just knocked the dents out, saned a little rust out and sprayed some  "Flattened Charcoal/Smoke Gray Metallic" Paint on it..

So really, I don't know what to call it,, maybe when I am done Y'all can tell me what it is ?

"DIFFERANT"  is what I was after..

Charles, I just refer to mine as "The hot rod"  takes care of all the questions.  Besides, it's not a rat rod, it's just not finished yet!    Crow

With the unusual center/rear crossmember, the unique air cleaner, the unusual styling of the quarter windows in relation to the side windows, among other things -- I know what to call it -- but I won't.

Almost done... should be ready to test drive next weekend.

Here are todays pics.

NO it is not black.... it is "Smoke"  with some silver metal flake and flatner.. in the sun you can see some of the flake, not much,, it is more of a flat charcoal gray color paint,,, not black and not primer,, just a bit odd and unique is what I was after,,,, plus adding the quarter windows and stretching the cab allows plenty of leg room...



















Even Joe thought it was black, till he saw it in person !!

Eric, I know I can't weld, do body work or paint,,,, what I do have is access to some fine friends and folks that can do all of that... I can just "imagine" what I want,,, then consult others on my vision,, listen to Joe (my crew chief) tell me how stupid my ideas are etc... and in the end what comes out seems to be OK...(at least I think so and I like them ).

Joe and me are still working up some lettering and graphics options for the truck.

I think it may be  "themed" to go with the Vicky and the Studebaker, kinda the Push/Tow or shop truck for
Venable Rods and Racing  ( The Team colors are Satin Black cars with red and white lettering) I think the truck in Smoke Gray is close enough to black to work in this motif ??

Thanks for the good words.

See you in June ?

Charles
