Weld's 40 Ford pickup

[Rick D]

Nice chassis Greg, so how much longer, a few weeks???

[slenning]

So?? Did they weld it in??
Great plan Greg. I just got a 55 Chevy pickup that my father-in-law had been working on over the years. He passed away last December and told my wife he'd like me to get the truck. Add it to the project list! lol

I seriously never asked Eric (Pinkee's) when it will be done. I know he asked Phil (Roadster Shop) to jump on the chassis so that he can have the body on the chassis when we stop at the shop during the GG Hall of Fame Tour. I also added money to the till... so there's no hold ups there. He will need to order a complete new bed... rear fenders from Wescott... and the motor and trans etc. But none of these builds are done much before a couple years pass. Maybe I'll drive it to the Medicaid office?? LOL

It truly is being built to be my DD. My F-150 is a real nice new pick up... but a cute '40 will fit my lifestyle here in the Valley. Most of my driving is spent under 35 MPH... or the short jaunt down to Hailey to the shop. Stella can ride in the back... I can put a bike rack in the bed... and if we really want to drive somewhere and take luggage and all that - Gwen has a Cayenne GTS that will fill that need. We also have a new Range Rover - but every time I drive it I'm looking at every other vehicle on the road thinking that I'd rather be driving "that" over the RR. It's the Buick of SUV's.

Umm Greg I believe Steve was asking if this ⬇️⬇️⬇️ was welded in the frame???

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^




No they did not == despite several emails asking them/telling them - ITS OKAY I'D LIKE IT IN!!


Of course = they're running a business -- not a jokester shop.... and I don't blame Phil for wanting the RS logo in there instead. They are shipping the WELD SUCKS version so I can make wall art out of it.

Sweet ! If they took the time to make it, its something you should be proud of!

Oh we'll need picture of it mounted.

Pinkees to pick their artistic minds and got a shop tour. I saw the 40 sitting on the RS frame ... man that thing looks great sitting there. Saw a couple other cars that had me drooling .... nice work in that shop!!!

Good choice Greg!

Yes! The Boys at The Roadster Shop stepped up and delivered the chassis in time for Eric (Pinkee's) to get the body set on it so I could see it on our way to Texas on the Good Guys Hall of Fame Tour... and then I had to cancel that because the '33 began to overheat and I couldn't fix it in time. Well - I could have - but that would have required heroic effort and I'm busy doing other stuff...


This will be ANOTHER project that will no doubt be finished before a certain Blue with Ford stripes Camaro.... or the Queen MaryTorino... or maybe even before Sinister... LOL

Lookin good Mr. Weld! Cant wait to see this one finished up!
