They ALL look cool with the top off, no matter what, even if they're rust-buckets...the woodie part sounded interesting until you added the VINYL aspect - I'll stick with my rust buckets, thank you very much...vinyl woodie truck features reminds me of poor people putting sheets of ...vinyl, I guess, fake bricks on their houses... now, replacing rusted out panels with wood might not be a bad idea - making a TRUE "Woodie Piece of Shit Convertible Truck"...gives me a woodie just thinking about it! 8-)

If it was done right, I could see it looking cool. I'm thinking something like a 2wd, white, Woodgrain side inserts, Lots of chrome(bumpers, trim, wheels)

I lived in Key West  in the late 80's and someone had replaced the entire body of a truck with wood. I think it was a Dodge but hard to tell because he made his own lines. Also I have a wood working magazine with an article about a guy that made a sports car almost entirely out of wood. And it goes something like 200 MPH. Leave the vinyl a K-Mart and break out the saw.  |

And it goes something like 200 MPH. Leave the vinyl a K-Mart and break out the saw. I've seen that article but can't seem to find it online.However, your post reminded me of another vehicle I saw on another forum I belong to built from wood. And those old ChrisCraft boats were very cool.   |
