Body modifications anyone?
Check out this sweet truck that was at the Pomona Twilight cruise. This guy did some serious body modifications. Thought some of you might get some ideas for your project.

While the hood is radical, I love suicide doors!

Check out the angle of the windshield and roof. That took some work.

About the motor was my first question.
A little too much pie cut out of the hood but this truck looks nice.

If there is an engine in there, you better be a contortionist if you want to work on the left side.
And yes, I love the suicide doors.

I didn't see the truck myself, but the engine was my first thought? I'm assuming he drove it there and he does have the hood up?

Beautiful!
I've been thinking about doing the same thing with my hood (minus the pie cut) and hinging it in the conventional manner....

Anyone on here ever done the doors this way? wonder how hard it would be to do them on a 50f1.

Someone makes a kit like the early 50's Buicks, where the hoods open from either side.
If you're gonna mess one of these Ol trucks up, do it to it.

I am not much for chopping the tops on these old trucks, but I like the looks of this one.
Where are the front turn signals?

This is the kind of stuff my dreams are made of. Would like to see more of it. Thanks for posting it.

That is a really nice looking truck, it would be nice to see in person, it certainly has some skillfully done modifications to it. Doing the front end up like that would certainly solve alot of my sheet metal fitment. I'm really starting to like the looks of the shaved bumper a well.
