Good work, the frame and engine look great! Lots of really good detail work on the interior structuring as well!

Thanks Mr.Dave...I think the interior structure will look cool when done... I'm planning to paint it a big flake green and thinking maybe a diamond tuck white interior... I'm still thinking on the white..I seen a cool custom big flake green rod with the white interior and it really looked good together... I'm not one that really like's white... So its still up in the air for now...The dash and over head console will be green with all the white around it... What you think ???

The big flake green with white upholstery would certainly fit the car! The C Cab's I remember from back in the 60's usually had big flake or candy colors.... I'm not really a big fan of green, but the right shade with the big flake IMO would look great! I remember one that was on the show circuit in the late 60's that was done in an outlandish purple with huge gold flake in it, wish I could find a picture of it--think it was out of St. Louis area????

I looked at every picture of that c-cab for years... When I first wanted to build one... I was going to build one just like the Pizza Wagon... Then I said that has already been done... Time for a new one... My style... So here we are..

Looks more like a "Double C" cab!!!!! Rods-N-Rags

Yup, that's the one I was thinking of.... Check out the front suspension, way ahead of it's time.

I agree Mr. Dave..

A Trick C-Cab like you are building Screams 60's show rod. White at a minium for accents, piping ect., is almost a must. I could see white with some contrasting piping, maybe matching your body color. If I had it to do, and could afford it, White button tuffed................................... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe green metal flake buttons and piping. Or accents in pannels. Ok thats my 2 cents. I am sure whatever you do it will be Slick..........

Thanks Guy's..All the idea's sure help's out...I can see this think done way before I even started building it.....

I'm shooting for a old 60's style show rod for sure... I'm sick of going to the world of wheels see these new cars with big wheels... Really make's me sick.... That's not what made the world of wheels and other big show's the show's they use to be..... The really Custom cars are a thing of the past... Few people are really gone after that type of build today.... I would love to bring that back... And will try to do at least one a year if I can... This car should have be done by now... But it will come.... I hope to tour with it... If it come's out like I'm hoping.... Thanks again guy's.. It means a lot to hear all the different idea's..
