Hezie's Hotrod Build(Original guy's will not want to look).
 

I have got this thing running now so I have a little time to put up some of the photos. My Grandfather bought this truck new after he passed my Grandmother gave it to me with the stipulation I could not sell it while she was alive. I told her I would never sell it but it was not going to be the same she was good with that.Not gonna load all the photos at one time alot of them will have to be scaned and I'm not patient enough with computers to do them all at once. Enjoy and if you have any questions ask I learned alot on this build.

Interesting trans hump, looks good!

Re: Hezie's Hotrod Build(Original guy's will not want to look).
 

Thanks. I had to have the tunnel for driveshaft clerance,and because of how little I knew about these trucks I made that trans hump before I knew about the bolt in high humps.:dohh:The good thing is it is real close in dementions to a high hump so I can use a stock rubber mat.

OMG I can not believe you cut up a 1 owner truck! What the heck were you thinking. You should be shot!!:lol:










Man that work is looking great, did you build the front suspension your self or was it a kit. I need more pics! Once again looks good!

My favorite tool and two examples of some stuff I worked on in my buddies shop. The Camaro was already a racecar the Caddy was bone stock and very low miles.

Awesome truck man! It's truly hard to believe you would cut up a family heirloom like that?:waah: Wow, that should be illegal.......Just messing with you. Your right that truck might rust to the ground if you had left it the way it was when you started. I really like the avatar pic too!:metal:

This was my first atempt at metal shaping you should try it!Attachment 522573
I made the wheel out of scrap pipe and caster wheels I bought at Northern I had less than 100 bucks in the whole thing. It worked good enough to spend the money and get good wheels before I made the second fender.Attachment 522574
Cheap air chissel turned air hammer.
