The Kraken
Hey everyone, so here's the next beast on the block. A 59 GMC big window short stepper. This baby is as solid as they come. When I found the ol girl it reminded me of something from the swamp thing movie. The client I'm building it for is in the film industry and so I was trying to think of an appropriate name for it. The wife brought home a bottle of Rum for a friends birthday and I got reading the back of the label. It read "Strong, rich, black and smooth". Perfect, so I proudly give you The Kraken.
LS power, No Limit suspension, 4 wheels disc. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...00922-0727.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/IMG_2283.jpg |
Re: The Kraken
That's a really cool looking project your going to start. I like that bottle. I collect bottles and wonder where I could get one of those?

Re: The Kraken
It's for sale locally in Burbank all over the place. Maybe you can order it online. The stuff goes great with Dr. Pepper. LOL.
Here she is all cleaned up. http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/IMG_1674.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/IMG_1677.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p...9/IMG_1676.jpg |

Re: The Kraken
Can't wait....what a great foundation.
|
Re: The Kraken
WOW she cleaned up nice! She looked really scurry before...haha
Was that cobb webs holding the tree crap on her? If so, I would have passed on her. I don't do well with spiders at all. Great find, can't wait to see what you come up with. I've had Kraken before...not bad at all! |
Re: The Kraken
Awesome. Please say you'll leave the paint alone. That truck is just too cool.

Re: The Kraken
Leave it to Delmo to find the coolest trucks around, even when they are living (litterally). :)

Re: The Kraken
Yep she is stayin O.G. as far as paint goes. It's funny what you can find sitting under trees around here. And I've found Kraken sounds way cooler if you say it like a pitare. LOL

Re: The Kraken
Nice looking truck, just when I thought barnfinds are a thing of the past , you come up with a treasure like that. Is it going to be along the same lines as Jackalope? that was a killer build:metal:
|
Re: The Kraken
And yet another nice truck!!
|
Re: The Kraken
This one should be entertaining , good starting point!
|
Re: The Kraken
Release the Kraken!!
That is a NICE, solid truck. I was shocked at how well it cleaned up. With a nice suspension and an LS motor, it will be a great driver. I'll stay tuned for this one!! |
Re: The Kraken

Re: The Kraken

Re: The Kraken
Is that an old Ford axle with an overdrive unit in the background of pic number 2? Man you have some interesting stuff. I'm loving this truck thread but on days when you don't have any new pics to post just post some pics of your shop. There's always something cool to look at there.
|
Re: The Kraken
Great truck to start with... I'd be happy with the "before" and am sure I'd be ecstatic with the "after". Looking forward to watching this one too...
|
Re: The Kraken
