Charlie69 Posted June 16, 2020 Report Share Posted June 16, 2020 That is honestly a very nice 521 to use as the base of this build. When this truck is driveable it would be a pleasure to drive and enjoy. But with Mr Big Tanker creative imagination this truck will always be getting improvements. Projects are never done!

All new cleaned brake lines wire tuck all of it this time. SEMA minimum quality paint, all the metal work done to bed. Cab will stay the way it is to metal mods. All painted frame new big horse power engine all powder coated Tranny, Currie rear end Wilwoods all around. Doing new instrument cluster, [AEM CD7] on top of all the cool Shit already. All the Sheep shit logos I hope to remove rom the turbo system and might even make room for a air to air intercooler.Going to make panels in engine bay t o complete the the empty pockets on each side, and cut and repel the side fender wells so ll smooth and removable to work on truck if needed. This truck will be on a whole another level. Might try for SEMA this year. stay tuned. 4 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I am surprised that you are not doing a one piece tilt front end. That will give you access to work under the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 It is just Mr Big Tanker. LOL Most likely disappointed that this idea slipped his mind. LOL 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 A one piece front end, made out of fiberglass with the headlights painted on and tilting no less? Sounds like a '33 Willys. Sorry Charlie. 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 In the 70s I had a 55 chevy 2 door hard top that had a tilt front end. I was pinned so it could be taken off when working on 55. A friend of mine wanted to tilt my 50 Studebaker Champion and I said no. There is a 620 drag truck here in the West walley that has a tilt removable fiberglass front clip. 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Two Lane Blacktop! Great movie. Love the '55 Chevy gasser. Would love to build something like that some day. But the 521 is not it... 1 Quote Link to comment
