Well, I finally got some pics of the new project that I'm going to be starting on and wouldn't mind some help if it's available.
1st off, need someone with a torch, plasma preferred and will need a welder at the same time.
Also could use a portable sandblaster. Or if someone has a shop that does sandblasting on a large scale.
Could also use a little body help as that is not one of my fields that I'm all that good with. I want this project to be dedicated to my grandfather that started it long long ago so it's got to be as close to perfect as I can get it.
Also, if anyone has any parts/time they want to donate to help along the way, that would be great as well.
Anyway, on with the pictures and the info on what it is My grandfather made this himself. I'll have to see if dad knows when he made it. It is made from a Model A pick up bed and frame. Yes, it is an all steel original Model A bed, frame and springs. My dad has used it for what it was made for, to haul things, so it has kind of gone to rust and rot. My plans are to get it back into perfect shape, body help permitting. Shoot it brilliant black to match the mag of course and stripe it in the same color red as the mags stripes. Maybe even let Ross get a hold of it to do some magic for me.
As for wheels, it has 6 lug Ford wheels on it, I haven't made up my mind if I'm going to try and match them to the Mag or get a set of nice wheels all of it's own or get some original wheels.
I want to get a truck add on LED brake light like THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/60-LED-TAIL-GATE-BAR-BRAKE-SIGNAL-LIGHTS-TUNDRA-MARK-LT_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem3ef99caaabQQitemZ270 475766443QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAcces sories)
I was also thinking I could get a set of fenders and mount Model A tail lights on them, this would be the preferred method but the fenders are over 300 each for steel. 200 each for glass.
Anyway, if anyone can help with the media blasting or the cutting and welding (in the area of course, at least for now) let me know...
