AQre you talkin' the wheels? If so American Racing and Cragar make this style wheel. If you were close, I'd help you out because I have a spare set of almost new ones in my "garage" (living room).

Ok, need some opinions. I am thinking of either 2 different pieces of "door art" or scallops.

First up, scallops. Here are some on a truck similar to mine. I am thinking creme colored with black pin striping for mine.



I am also thinking of this as door art:


Finally, a PBR inspired logo but change the "Pabst" script to "Dirty". THe next line would read "Garage", and the bottom would read "trucks".


So what do you think?

I am thinking Aussi or NZ from the drive side. Pretty neat truck. I am leaning towards the scallops in black with white pin stripes. Would look good on the black wheels, plus I could actually do it myself.

Made some good progress the past two days. I got my brake lights wired up, independent of the wiring harness, so now they work. I also replaced my tailight lenses with new ones and added blue dots. Then I painted scallops. I need to get the scallops and iron crosses pin striped in black to finish them up. The iron crosses will have the engine displacement (400c.i.) painted in the middle of 'em too.

Aight, here are some pics. I haven't gotten a chance to do the pinstriping yet. I was going to stripe the scallops in black, and do the same with the iron crosses and paint the engin displacement in the middle of 'em. Also pictured somewhere in this mess of photos are my new tail lights with blue dots.

lookin good so far, you should do somthing on the top of the hood as well, maybe somthing that wraps down around the front of it.

That is one dirty engine compartment, a little clean up and tune up and youll get a nice strong engine.

I got some cool stuff on my truck today:






And my buddy got a cool new toy today! (I'm jealous!)




Its a 1951 Ford F1. Its got a Chevy 350 in it, for now. It runs great though and the truck is in overall great condition. It needs a couple minor things done to it and it will be road ready.

Yeah for sure. Its gonna get pulled, probbaly towards the end of this winter, to have all of the seals gone over and replaced, and a good clean up. A buddy of mine has a freshly rebuilt Motorcraft 2100 carb for me to put on in place of the one I have on there now. I rebuilt the current one and its missing all of the choke parts.
