That is some runny **** (literally)

What are the birds eating up there? You have prune juice on tap? (as if brad needed another excuse to come visit)

Tell me about it, it ran all the way under the panel and came out the other side.

Like the new bumper but I think it looks better w/o...

Looks great!

Take the bumpers off and cut the fenders.

Really? Would you really be happy if I did that to Bertha? Think about that for a moment

 

[1970Custom]

Naw, I'd leave the fenders in tact, just go buy a set of fiberglass...

Oh and Chris, can you take a few pics of the "junk" in the garage for me....
I know they're rubber bumper cars but they still look good from where I'm sitting.

The butterscotch colored one is a little rough-- but here's the red one (our show car) :

It's... cute? Looks neat next to the truck!

If I had that truck, I would take the back seats out, fill it up with gear, put a topper on it, build a platform at the top of the box with gear storage underneath and a sleeping platform on top, cut fenders and 37" HMMWV tires and drive it to the ends of the earth.

Thats actually what I am considering for my 95, if i don't sell it.

You'd really botch this beautiful truck into that? Seems stupid to start with a nearly perfect truck and tear it up... Why not start with a somewhat torn up truck?

 

[nobodyspecial]

Because a torn up truck needs work, I know this one is in good mechanical condition, has been taken care of and wouldn't let me down.

I am not saying i would drive it into a tree or anything, cut fenders can be done professionally. I wouldn't intentionally damage a truck for no reason.

Is the tailgate done yet? I say he photochopped that tailgate on there and it's still not done yet.

It's done and bertha looks gorgeous. Got a good deal on that panel on craigslist-- it's in like-new condition; was taken off a truck when it was new and stored that way.

Car looks pretty damned good, like I said not a huge fan of the rubber bumper cars but that's an easy fix AND they're still classics IMO...


And yeah it does look pretty good next to the Ford...

Anybody can restore a vehicle, it takes a real man to cut one up...
