other dog Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 ...would you make me one of these in your spare time, whenever you're not busy working on your trucks, or at the body shop, or for the the FAA, NASA, or NCAA. Doesn't have to be a classic Fairlane, just whatever's sitting around. No rush, but i'd like to have it before summer. And I don't want a gas grill, i'm going charcoal/wood fired.thanks, your pal Tom Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Don't know if I'd do that to an antique car, but would rather use the parts as a donor for a restoration. Of course this could vary if the owner was willing to expend the funds to do the job.Given your love for the grille, I'd help you do it should you be serious.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

It is indeed pretty neat, but I don't do any mobile grilling, it's all in the back yard. Besides, my Ranger probably wouldn't pull anything bigger than a Radio Flyer.

Besides, my Ranger probably wouldn't pull anything bigger than a Radio Flyer.Those Ranger style trucks are a good idea fitting a niche market. They however don't like to perform work other than the occasional grocery run. Power really falls off quickly when any kind of load is added such as a trailer with half a ton on it. I've had a couple rebuilt wrecks around here that were used until sold for parts runs and such. I liked them for commuter duty.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Freightrain Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Pretty cool idea.Years back a buddy who is bodyman did that with front of a 80's Mustang and build a toybox for his kids stuff. Seen others that build sofas out of them.About 15+ yrs ago there was a '65 Buick running around with a matching "back half" trailer that he could unhook, attach a tiller to front support tire and using golfcart electric power to drive it around. It was a "C" cab arrangement, with just the back half of the car with back seat. All painted to match. Inventive people. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

NoClueJoe66 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Well Mike it was runin on 6 cylinders.....those 2 dead plugs made it a whole lot worse. It's really not too hard on gas around 15 to 17 mpg on the highway and 14 on the interstate. Dont worry Tom i would wear the grill out for ya then bring it by.....
