"Lil' Olive" just a smorgasbord of 1950s bomber parts, jeep parts and ford parts. Started as a father son project for my first vehicle. Later this year we'll be sitting her on a 1997 Ford explorer frame to keep her from rattling the rust loose. Built her to survive the apocalypse, whether that be zombies, nuclear, or viral, and give ole Gorbachev the finger while doing it. No trucks complete without a CB, Geiger counter and Nose art. Shes built like a brick and anything over 60 and shes like riding an 18 wheeler balanced on the end of a Saturn V rocket (Apparently its a notorious problem with having the same suspension as a covered wagon). A little back story into the nose art; I had seen a bomber style rat rod that had the original tiger mouth from the ole P-40s and then I commissioned my artist of a sister to design an appropriate art for Olive. Thus we have the "Peace through superior fire power" by growing nuclear bombs on an international symbol of peace, the olive branch. Shes really never fit into any category since she's a bastard child of Ford but she sure draws a crowd at shows, from people exclaiming why the hell I'd ruin a 'Chero to what the hell are you going to put on next. So we'll see what ya'll think.
