I think I'm actually left speechless on this one.








OK, maybe not. Current bid is $2850 for some plywood and painted over rust.

Holy Mother of Mary!!! What the H#ll has someone done to this truck. It looks like it rides so low that he backed out of a driveway and almost yanked the front end off of it. I am really diggin the wood grain effect on the guages too. That is a nice touch. All he needs is a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror,and those little ***** on a string around the top of the windshield. That would complete this ride perfect. That reminds me of when I was in high school. Afriend of mine thought he was so cool when he inherited his dads old mobile phone. It had the old dial and the receiver was on a curly chord ,just like the old home phones. He built a plywood box for it ,and mounted it on the hump between the seats. I'll have to give it to him though. He did stain it!! hahaha.That phone came with about 2 five gallon buckets of wiring,and this humongous steel box that had to be mounted in the trunk. That was back when you had to call the operator to make a call from your mobile phone. Ahhh memories from the mid seventies. Aren't they great? Oh , by the way. It appears that someone z'd the frame to lower it. Great job. Now it's a dual purpose . He can use the frame to tie down his riding mower if he wants to.hahahaha

The "C" notch for the rear looks a bit....well......er......
....thin.... and wheres the relief for the differential? Maybe the plywood isnt tied down so that the diferential can just push it up....

"He can use the frame to tie down his riding mower if he wants to".......Thats great! LOL

I see potential as well: The seat looks salvagable, the plywood could be used to build a small doghouse... or a crate to put all the bondo in as it falls off. Didn't waste any of the 3/4" plywood cut offs tho.

Talking Why show it?

History is rumored that George Washington made a set of teeth out of wood, so we should see all the possibilities if you have this kind of talent. I wonder if plywood would hold up as false teeth. Maybe this person is a relative of George.

Actually, George had a set of ivory "dress" teeth...the wooden ones were for everyday wear...

Thankfully, plywood wasn't around, those days!

I think particle board would be great, you could stain it to give a granite effect...
