OK,
here we go, the build up of project " Tangible
Dream".
At this point all major body
modifications are out of the way and paint preparation is next on
the list.
Above is (for the most part)
our do it yourself hero, taking care of the disassembly work needed
to get this thing painted.
Here we are w/ the main body
painted.
More pictures will follow as we reassemble
project "Tangible Dream".
Well, finally we have gotten around to putting
this thing back together. Seeing as to how its summer time, we kind
of been slacking off a little this year. Which is really bad, seeing
as to how we could be cruising the strip rather than putting this
truck back together. But oh well. View the pictures below and enjoy!
You can bet we were as we put this truck back together, Not!
After the pictures above had been taken, Jason's tracker has left
the confines of the garage and headed for Air Exxagerations in Port
Orchard, WA.
Where it will rest with Tony Crosta. Tony will be spraying the
graphics. (A little hint, Tony sprayed the murals on Ron's S-10
and Ron's truck has never been beat in the best paint and mural
class at any show!) So, it is with no surprise that his little brothers
truck is heading Tony's way as well.
More pictures to follow soon.
Update 11-4-01
We have just received the tracker back from Tony Crosta. The graphic
laid on this tracker was a challenge indeed. Our guidelines for
the graphic were as follows. It must be a tribal style graphic while
being done in traditional hot rod perameters. We chose this different
approach, as to not look like the dime a dozen trucks you see from
California and the South West States. Well with the truck in Tony's
hands we new all would be well. Besides an artists true work is
not derived from a person who says I want exactly this, but from
a artist who was given only small guide lines and a canvas to do
what ever he wishes. Staying true to this Tony did. View the results
below. P.S. The graphic job cost us less that (2) 17 inch wheels
did.
More to come on this retro built up......"Tangible Dream".
Well with the completion of this ride, Jason picked it up to take
home. Just 5 weeks after these photos, the vehicle was totaled due
to
a truck taking out the back end of the vehicle. This is sad due
to the effort that was put into such a fine ride. But he still has
the clasic Cadillac and is currently building that ride all over
again. Photos of damage to this tracker will be posted soon.
