Well !!!! I started cutting the iron yesterday at around 4:eek:o .. :thumbup: This is going to be another homemade hot rod... I was going to keep this one behind the doors.. But why not let everyone see it in the making... It will not be built in 75 hours.. I will be taking this one ''ALL'' the way.. I aways thought the pizza wagon was so cool.. I was going to make one just like it, But decided to make it my own.. SOMETHING DIFFERENT.. The pizza wagon was done already.. Time for a new one.. I hope everyone enjoys the build and thread.. Feel free to speak up.. :thumbup: THE AMPS ARE NOW BURNING !!! :mwink:

Hello there

I was reading your build story with a keen interest an i was wondering if you would be willing to share some further information on your build?

I live in Australia and we don't see many of any C cab hotrods down here, and like you I'm interested in building my very own version of 1 here from steel as I'm not a fan of the fiberglass produced one's available!

So if it's not to much to ask would you be willing to assist me with some information that hasn't been mentioned in your thread?

Kind regards

Good evening, first of all I want to congratulate you for such a great job, excuse me but I'm from Colombia and I don't know English, I'm using the google translator, excuse me ... I'm planning to build my own hotrod, since here in Colombia, these old Ford are very little seen and those that exist are exaggeratedly expensive, I have some experience with welding and I have mechanical friends who will help me with the mechanics and electricity of the vehicle, I just need measures to start, body and body measurements chassis ..... With those measures and a donor ford 1978 that I already have, I could start ..... if you can help me, I would appreciate it ... again many congratulations for your work and gravias for sharing your knowledge with everyone , believe me that I have learned a lot just by looking at your photos ..... greetings ....

love the c cab - that will be one of the next 2 projects I build myself - the other is a clone of the Dragula car from the Munsters show - not quite done with the "D" bucket I am building - got slowed down by cancer but have beaten it now - so I can get back to it - I will be picking your brain if that's ok? - jaxx

Thanks for the kind words.. Super glade to hear you beat the Cancer..Can't wait to see your builds.. Its so much fun building something when you don't start with something..just watching it all come together is a great feeling..I was going to start back on this car when i sold my other one. But decided to hold off for now..I'm hoping it won't be to long before i'm back on it..have a 33 coupe to build first..I'll help anyway i can..have fun.;)
