49 Crosley Crawler...

METAL TWISTER · #1 05-06-2009, 02:17 AM

I received this from my customer who wanted to do something unique. We decided on a mini Grave Digger. Its a 49 Crosley station wagon. The back window filled in to make it a panel truck. We opened the wheel wells up to accept some over sized tires. Built a new firewall, console, and cage. Its off today to the airbrusher... Its all Suzuki Sami underneath.

Issues with photobucket... I had to post the whole album. Hope this makes sense now.

Very Interesting :)

Yeah, its not for everyone, but it is different. I think he wants to sell it to a company for advertising? It will sure get the attention!

So wrong, yet so right!

I dig the new trans tunnel. Nice work!

Turned out sweet. The scale of the truck really shows on the trailer.

The new front bumper has been added along with the glass and grill. Ill try to get some more current pics up this weekend.

thats great, i love it

sweet craftsmanship, nice job !

so this is a promotional peice ? aka (write off rig). just curious, i sure coudnt see taking it out and wheeling it to death

im jealous of the dry bodies out your way. ive been looking for a toyota stout to chop and repurpose for my personal build - just cant find that stuff around here -

Yeah, the dry desert is good for wheeling and pickling cars.

I was just given a 1974 jeep fsj without a bubble of cancer. Its great for our business even if the picking are thin.

did you stretch the frt. wheel wells also or just the back.
nice job!

METAL TWISTER · #14 06-25-2009, 08:47 PM

yep, front and rear.

not really fond of the wheel choice at all, been better with a more classic type wheel i think. other than that, pretty cool.

Way to think of something unique =instead of another Jeep or chevy or 'Yota.

Mr. customer picked the wheels and tires because they both had skull and crossbones on them? I guess your just not cool unless you are going Skeletal these days... I personally think its way over used.
