Don Finks speedwagon as a fenderless pickup

[maximus]

I started with a Don finks speedwagon kit and this is what I edned up with. I cut the rear top of the body off then scratchbuilt the rear of the cab, bed floor and wheel wells. I painted it Aluma pearl yellow and used doll house wood flooring for the wood inserts on the sides and tailgate. Its also channeld to get a lower look. I used a twin blown hemi from a 53 stude kit and the tires and wheels are parts box peices. The grill shell was shortened 1/8". The grill is wire mesh and the decorative peice in the front is a charm that I swiped from my wifes jewlery making stuff.
I enjoyed this build alot. Its kind of old school meets modern street rod.

That is too cool Maximus. You did a great job on the body work. Cool idea with great execution.

Sweet lookin ride....I wonder what kinda stuff I can swipe off of my wife for my builds?

That is an awesome build! Very creative, and I really like the charm you added to the grill shell! Very cool idea!

Thanks guys, At first I thought maybe the charm thing was kind of dorky, but it seems to fit the build. LOL.

i really like this build! if you look at my builds , you'll see the wild stuff i like.
i am not giving you crap about this but, i was thinking about the top, it looks a little to square to me.
i think it would look a little better with the kind of top i built for my vw '40 ford rpu. what do you think?
