EdwardB’s 35 Hot Rod Truck Build - Well Traveled

[edwardb]

Today we moved the chassis with the finished cab back into my garage shop. Was going to rent a trailer. But nothing quickly available to borrow or rent from U-Haul and weather closing in. Since the location it’s being painted is only 1-1/2 miles away, and about 1/2 mile is a private road, we decided to just drive it home. Bolted a seat in, added a few layers of clothing (25 degrees out), and cinched the seat belt down. Waited for a gap in traffic, my buddy following, and made the one-mile dash to my house. It was cold as expected, but all went fine and it’s safe in the shop. Hopefully next time out will be all assembled (and a little more legal.) These pictures with my phone and higher resolution give a better idea of the color compared to previous posts. Doors and dash will be done sometime after Christmas, and then the rest of the pieces will follow. Very happy with how it looks and now will start final details in the interior and elsewhere. Had to laugh. My buddy doing the paint today said now he understands why I was getting high quotes to paint this thing. A lot of pieces and a lot of details including hand work especially for the final sand and polish. Looking forward to a family visit over the holidays if the weather doesn’t get as bad as some of the predictions.
