41 WOODY
by DeeCee Sun 02 Mar 2014, 12:28 pm
This started as a rebuild/tidy-up, as i was not happy with the way i did a few things all those years ago.
Started by lowering it properly this time, by channeling the chassis , airbagging the rear and double wish bone front suspension.
Filled the 2 grills in the front guards, as i had butchered them years ago. Flat head is basically wired with tri-carbs and made some filters for them aswell.
Removed the rear seat and made a timber floor, and real wood inserts in the woody exterior. Most woody's have darker inserts, but i went the other way as it
worked better with the candy red paint. Wheels are Pegasus wide DZ's, and NOTHING underneath touches the ground except the wheels.
(which wasn't easy).

That thing is a bitch to build, so to rescue a wrecked one and have it come up so good is an awesome result.

First class mate, top job. I reckon that paint style would look great on a 70's truck like Allan's GMC.

Fantastic job Dale. 
The paint is killer and the wheels really set it off. I love it.
