That would be Canadian F1 driver Paul Tracy.

My dad had a number of the four bangers, and they all came from different machines. One came from a combine and was stuck, one from and aircraft tug, another was attached to a generator. The rest were just lose engines he managed to find, and he got them all running again. We had toyed with the...

We have a show similar to that up here near Barry Ontario. Huge! My dad and I camped there for the weekend back in 2007 and I could not see it all. Looking forward to seeing more pics of this show for sure.

I quit school at 16 to take a job as an apprentice mechanic. I got two months training and was left alone doing front end alignments on everything from daily drivers to transport trucks. One day I'm doing an old Ford Econoline van (new at the time). The final step is to center the steering wheel...

Looks good Bob. Apparently rivets are just fine. Wink wink nudge nugde!:cool:

You know, I've been following this build since the begining, and I still don't understand where the wheels go! But seriously Snake, what an incredible job you have done here. So many neat and innovative ideas built in. Thanks for sharing. :)

Wow, just wow! I don't know how I've missed this thread, but I have just spent the last two hours reading every word and studying every pic. What an excellent build. Thanks for sharing this.

Hey Bob, great work as always. I'd like to offer some advice if you don't mind. I noticed your thinking of trying construction adhesive to bond those panels. I'm pretty sure that won't hold for very long, as it's not formulated to bond metal. You will have much better luck with a product like...

How did I miss this build. Very nice work, you got the look just right. Looking forward to seeing more. [cl

Holly crap this is going to be a very cool build. [P

Nice work on the chop job there, looks great. I have a link for you that I wrote a while back on cutting glass. Give it a try, it works great. I've seen a few attemps made at the sandblast method and have never seen a successful one yet. Hope this helps...

I'm just going to leave this here. I thought it was pretty funny. :D

Yes you can. Complete front clips from 48 too 52 F1's are interchangable.

Getting close to finished.

Very cool rides you and your buddy have, and a very interesting choice of bodies to use. Nice to see something other than a model A once in a while.

Looks to me like your doing a killer job of it. Looking forward to seeing more on this one.

More of the cab. Now for some reason I didn't take a whole lot of pics of this build and in fact didn't take any of the box rebuild, but I think you guys can get the jist of it from what I do have.

Rebuilding the cab was rather involved and you can see the bottom was very ruff. It's so nice that these panels are available to do this. Otherwise a build like this just wouldn't happen in most cases. I will warn anyone that may attempt a similar job that you will need to massage these panels...

Now for some pictures. He wanted all the metal work to be finished out with no filler, and then the new panels would be rattle can painted and distressed to mimic the rest of the truck.

I have a short little build for you guys. This truck is called nasty business, and is owned by a friend of mine who brought this truck up from Tennessee. The idea behind this truck was to leave the outside ruff and update the chassis and drive line. The truck started life with a 235 inline six...
