The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly Build

[--weezl--]

come on man... i'm getting all jittery... need more pics!

 

[Il Brutto]

Here ya go!

OK boys, I got all of the body work done, which was not much, as I looked for a nice truck to begin with. The GBUII is now in primer, pics look streaky because the paint is still wet.

Should be in the driver's seat real soon!

 

[--weezl--]

it's looking pretty good!

when do we get to see what it's actually going to look like? i'm STARTING to get tired of this top secret thing...


tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me tell me please

I like the fact that the first truck was ugly. I never even drove it before it burned up so the new truck will be ugly too. This will essentially be the same truck, same theme, same shop truck look. I finished the last truck and wanted to do some things different to the front, Irony? So to sum up, same truck as before, just a little more creative with the grill, I'm going for the look of a '53 Ford truck grill. Hope that puts you at ease just a little, Weezl

 

[Funnyman141]

Dang, your giving me ideas, and I know where three 60's f-series trucks sit too.......... Just one question are you going to put on the F-100? side markers in the front fenders again?
I thought those looked awesome!

 

[Il Brutto]

Yup, same fenders. I gotta get some new badges though, the driver side got pretty beat up in the fire.

that grill looks like ass on that bII, it was not done well IMO...

though i will say i love the oldschool interior, and the flathead v8 under the hood

 

[oldschool1955]

I like that little bll. flatheads are always cool. not big on the slamdown look but to each their own

 

[kris97ranger]

thats a sick truck its just about 3-4 ft too low...

 

[Il Brutto]

Damn it! Now I don't know what to do with the grill. I want something different, not trying to copy anyone. I will entertain any ideas.

 

[rockin86ranger]

62 Falcon Grill, that was my first car and i dont recall ever seeing a ranger with one, of course a grill from a Frontenac would look awesome

I personally am looking at doing a grill from a different make, think Mercury, but i also considered a 49-50 ford grill with the bullet nose since thats my dream car.

I would say find an older junkyard and just walk through it till a grill jumps out at you, when you see the perfect on you'll know
