Went to a car show at the Star casino near Mulvane Kansas. When we got there I found out that the cub promoting it did not have a Rat rod class. That didn't stop quite a few from showing up. Some Gassers invaded the show and caused quite a stir also. We had a good time none the less! Here are a...

It's been a while since I updated what I've have been doing. I dropped my camera and broke it so I have not been taking many pictures or updating my build threads. I found a really nice camera for 5 bucks at a garage sale so I'm back in business. I have been working on my 53 making a few...

Ok here is the 1959 GMC 1/2 ton I bought for a whopping $800.00. It came with later model (1969) 3/4 ton chevy axles. 270 straight 6 and a 4 speed. After some points, carburator clean out and a fuel cell I got it to run. The truck has a few more pressing issues that I am going to try and...

This is west of my house about 2 miles. I thought the river had taken it away years ago but with all the leaves gone it's visible from the road. I took a little hike with my camera to check it out. By tw7256 at 2011-12-27 I think it is a 1958 model. It was 3 on the tree. Motor and tranny are...

Here are a few photos of my 56 Chevy. I got it on the road last July and have been driving it around some. Right now I'm running a stock 350 Votec block with Vortec heads that have had screw in stud and bigger springs installed. The cam is a Thumper hyd. roller from Comp cams. It sounds mean...

Okay I have very little done yet and this one is going to be low buck and maybe even a little funky. I'm going to use what I have lying around. I want it to be simple to build, handle well, run great and hopefully look cool. About 2 months ago I got this Old 53 GMC 2 ton that had been setting in...
