That is going to be an awesome truck! I love the paint scheme! SBC power plant or? Keep up the great work!

She's got a 1952 Buick straight 8 with the 4 speed stick and the rear end

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Just picked the next project up 1954 Dodge Wayfair basket case.

Very cool!!!

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

That is going to come out real nice, I've always wanted a little Bobber truck to run around in but have more projects now than I have time or money for.

New custom gaskets for the 36 Chrysler lights and all the lights work

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Those turned out very nice!

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Box is just about done. Had to shrink the sides to get it flat. The welder was too impatient and warped it. Was 3/4" waves and after heating down to less than 1/8", not too bad.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Great work. Nice to see what you are doing with it

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Great work straightening out that mess on the bed!

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Thanks it's coming along nicely.
It was a mess, I almost thought about cutting the sides off and replacing them they were that bad. Grasshopper say patients wins the war

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

That truck just keeps getting better all the time.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Box is ready for final sand and paint. I put vinyl letters on the tailgate, added 3 coats pf primer, and removed the stickers. Now I have embossed Chevrolet on the gate. Quick scuf with a scotch bright pad and paint.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

That's a great idea! Nice work. I bet it took a little to get the letters set on perfect etc.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Cool idea ,can I steal it?( the Idea not the tailgate :) )

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Only a couple hours LOL

Sure I call it 3D painting, you could do any design with this. I did my spare tire holder with stickers too. Another cool ideas I had.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Box, hood sides and tailgate all painted.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Moving right along. Looks good when you get the shiny stuff on.

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Great metal work!

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

Looks great. Hard to tell but did you use the chevy truck drop axle and 4 link it with model A spring?

Re: 1940 Chev pick up restomod
 

It's basically what we used with some mods.
