Ok thanks for that Hope this works

 

Almost.. If you used the image button it adds:

[ I M G ] http://...... then [ / I M G ] without the spaces (or it would think I was putting in a picture.) Edit your previous post and add the IMG and /IMG (with brackets) and wha-la... the picture will appear..

 

While typing your post, it should look like this...


Then it will look like this in the thread... (hope you don't mind me linking to your gallery)

Trying not to hijack the thread, but I think many are used to seeing a button to attach pics. Maybe never here (I don't recall ever trying.) but on other forums there is one like below. Not saying there should be one here. Just that maybe that is what some folks are used to.

MPR,

That's a great album. When doing sheetmetal work, you can use fiber-reinforced packing tape as a template, too. It's called a flexible shape pattern. Because it is exactly the shape of the original (or whatever you are using for a buck) you can use it to gauge how much pounding is needed or where to trim, etc. Cool truck!

Ok guys I'll try to post a photo, trial & error.

 

Here it is the day we got it home and assembled (long story) . My understanding it's a 1941 3 tonne Jailbar. I first saw it 3 years ago, and sugessted to the owner that should he ever decide to sell it, to give me a call, so xmas just gone he phoned me and we took ownership less motor and box as he had spent a lot of money rebuilding them and wasn't prepared to sell them.




Iv'e got more pic's. So I'll put them up in a new thread (in a day or two)so we dont hi-jack this thread.

The Garden-Art pickup/truck is a bits and piece's thing , made up from left overs from a mates pickup that I'm doing a bunch of body work/patch panels on. Some bits are Truck, some are Pickup.

Heres my dads/my '31 Ford Model A truck late model with the steel roof. Its all original and I drive it quite frequently. Drove it last yr the day I got my license around town about a million times. I even drove it to drivers ed last summer a few times, to demenstrate the difference between a metal death trap and modern day cars. LOL.

3 on the floor, with that awesome 4 banger




EDIT: The reason for the "my" part is that I worked on it all last summer to get it going again. He put it on blocks about 7 yrs ago and wasn't planning on getting it out unless I did it myself. Someday we may restore it or leave it original since its so nice as is. We'll get a coupe or sedan or something and restore that.

 

Looks Pretty Dam COOL Just As It Is

These were in another thread, but since you asked... (I hope a 1 ton counts as big.)







Dave
