Introducing...The HalF-150

Postby dacrazyrn » Mon Oct 10, 2005 10:20 pm

After deciding that I HAD to have a tear...this is the first draing I came up with. Based on a 4x8 frame size.
It is exactly a half size 2004 Ford F-150 (measured off of mine). I really wanted to do this, but figured that it would be a bit involved for my first ever Tear.
What'cha think?

I am working on the GT/HOT BullNose (Get The He!! Outta Town) at this moment. The HalF-150 was my first drawing, and maybe someday I will do it.
Progress pics of the BullNose are in my Profile pics. Hoping to get the front end buttoned up today. And maybe start on either the hatch or the doors. Yesterday was cold and wet. I also found I need a new tarp, since some water got in under the one I have. Can't have that!!

Andrews need to paste one of his manequinns in there... it's pretty tight the way you have it drawn. Not to say anything about the wicked curves that you are going to have to bend plywood around... :?

Mike...
The quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten, so build your teardrop with the best materials...

Thr front "nose" section is an 18in storage area. the cabin area is 78in (with 30 inches that is under the cabinets-feet/leg area when lying down).
Each square is a 3in x 3in.
Two of those curves are REAL tight, but only drew it to look like the truck. Definitely would have to figure out something else.
I did however bend a 2ft x 8ft 5.2 Moisture Resistant Luan around 2 12in radiuses on the BullNose. Lots of aggravation there. :D
