Well the blue stripe is no more and the wheels are next. Might make the wheels gray or dark silver.

I added this, Still have to redo the black in the center and maybe take some more silver off but you get the idea.

That's awesome, and goes along with a running family joke we have. Last year while taking my 5 yr old son to school I got frustrated and called another driver an A$$ hole. I normally wouldn't cuss around him but I guess I was having a bad morning. Of course... my son promptly asks me what a Gas Hole is! I had to play it off telling him it's where we put the fuel....lol _________________ Greg

Got off my ass and got rid of the blue wheels. I lowered the rear end one inner spline. Did some horse trading to get the front ones with 135's on them and mounted some 235's on the rears. I may paint them but for now i'm diggin the patina on them.

The "new" wheel style looks better IMO... but Id still paint the wheels...Maybe all silver/gray to match that logo.. _________________ aka Ken {o\!/o}

I might paint them but I'm just going to drive it for now. After letting it sit for a while I'm re-excited about working on it. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

So I took the rusty top off of my scout and started thinking , Bad idea. I have enough projects already. I saved the front portion and the rear few inches just for the formed corners. I think you get the idea where this might go LOL.

I think I will round up another body to make a pickup cab with this top. That way i can still drive mine. Just from inital measurments it will have to be narrowed about 10" and chopped of course. For now I'll hang it in the rafters. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.

Dan.. thats rockin' awesome.. Love the eyebrow visor thats built in. Nice touch.
I dig it of course...since we have nearly the same taste..
So.. is this slated to to be a replacement body for Patty's named Pat since its half of its predecessor? _________________ aka Ken {o\!/o}

Yeah it will replace the sedan body which is really rusty. I'm not in a huge hurry to build it, Just whenever the mood strikes me. It will still be Patty, She is just getting some liposuction. _________________ Schrodinger's cat walked into a bar and it didn't.
