some of you guys may have seen this on "another" forum, but this will be it's first time here. i built this from the '37 Ford pick-up kit with the sedan frame. borrowed alot of parts from other kits too! there is a Dodge truck out of Indiana that inspired me to build this one. there is a show in Pennsylvania, the Jalopy Showdown, where you can take your ride around the dirt oval for fun. this is where a truck or rod like this fits in perfect! hope you guys like it! Dave

here are some more for you guys. didn't know that it would be such a hit! the wheels are from the '37 kit, i wish i had them without the wheelcovers. the wide-5 bolt pattern is pretty cool. Mike, i missed this years event unfortunately, but i'll be there next year for sure! i wish they'd let me in with my '71 Dart. Dave

Dave, Yea, Larry has a strict rule, nothing newer than 63 on the infield or the track, and no billet anything. I usually am parked along the outside of the track because my truck is to new, but they love the look. Pics of my truck are in my introduction post. Showdown date Saturday May 17th, 2008 . Fun in the Mud!!! >>>>>Goodguys are in Hershey also.<<<< No dates are up yet for the Drags. Last year the Drags where at the end of Sept. Next year is going to be crazy, no eliminations just grudge matches all day long!! The Drags are held at Beaver Springs Dragstrip in PA, just north of Harrisburg. Link: jalopyshowdown.comI'll Post more info when i get it.
