Having had some great years owning the Dodge dayvan known as Black Magic, Sean decided he wanted a truck so here it is.
We collected it with my truck
looked good but first job was a strip down
then over 50 years worth of muck had to be removed from the chassis
followed by some paint
then the fabrication could start
Sean's first drive
local kids asked why the go-kart was so big?
Now we start on the cab.
First the under side gets cleaned, treated and painted yellow
inside is treated
Bulkhead all holes welded and filled
now primed
now the cab is refitted to the chassis
the front end has now been replaced with an independent suspension set up
front end sheet metal work refitted
getting there now
She sure sits low
just wait till the bumper is on, it'll be on the floor
Sean is happy with it, (note the mobile phone under the front wing)
engine is looking good
steering misses the headers by just enough
time for paint, Black? not too sure about that
next come the new windows and new rubbers
Man that screen was tight
one of the sides
the back
the front
here it is in it's new home
and here we see the new buck, built from scratch
