Maybe look in MY old toy box. Got a couple of old Matchbox PU trucks from the day that might be in for a wheel swap. Pics to follow.

I was thinking Pick-ups, but there's no reason it has to be. As long as it fits the size and weight, build whatever kind of truck you want! :)

What the heck you know what chevy, if you start this series put me in as a host. I know I wanted to wait on hosting but I just keep missing out of all the fun. No better way to come back!

There seems to be quite a bit of interest, so it's a pretty safe bet that it will happen. Not sure when, but I'll keep you in mind when I schedule it! 

Thanks!

I have a couple 56 flashsiders do they count? The only thing is on both the paint is stripped so its bare metal but there are some paint left in the cracks so does this count as a "beater"

how modded is too much ? either photo bucket is changing things or maybe brian has a glitch, the boxes above the comment we are trying to post a pic to is not there... sometimes it only posts the code / link...


  • That's pretty crazy, Smitty! I like Snoopy in the back! — 72_Chevy_C10

So is this a series? one off race?


  • sinse stripped paint is considered a beater, we should have a full bracket with this bunch of modders... — model40fan
  • C10's call... — model40fan
