Title: Chuffing cool truck
Post by: panthershaun on December 12, 2008, 08:16:08 PM
How's this for a cool truck, sits just about perfect to me ;D ;D ;D damn thing tricked me into thinking it was a mid thirties Dodge with its suicide doors and Dodge hood ornament but it is in fact a 36 Ford. This is owned by a guy called Lynn Ashcroft who built that chuffing cool Harley 45 trike in issue 1 of Brit Chopper.
Just had a quick chat with him (busy guy, he is a judge with the supreme court in the USA :o) but he said checkout his web site so I did http://www.ashcroftmc.com well worth a look.

heres a link to a mag article on the truck... enjoy ;D ;D ;D ;D I did.....

Purdy.  8)
I keep saying to Lunatic I'd like a red coachline along the swage line on the doors of my pick-up like that. Not sure if it'd clash with the red oval logo though. I'd planned a simple black interior, but Loony reckons we should go with over-the-top 60s style red metalflake vinyl.

Nice innit.
Brock thinks I should go with the airforce blue we tried on one of the windscreen pillars of my Pop. Nice, but I still think black's the way to go. I've got a nice Bakalite Ford Prefect dash. Loony wants to blow it over in red candy, so the Bakalite "grain" still shows through the red.
