Old new guy back again.

[TMP]

I am in and out on the forum from time to time. Due to my work schedule i usually don't have alot of excess time but I really like the attitude of THIS forum. I am friends with a few on here. I work pipeline work and work out of town 85% of the time. I usually have to do my 'Honey do" work when I come in between jobs.I have a 59 buick 2 dr hard top with a 66 425,4 linked,open drive that I have been working on a couple of years. I recently changed jobs,although it's still in the pipeline business. I am getting to be home more now so maybe I can finish my buick. Second on the long list of things to do is a chopped 28 closed cab model a truck. I built my frame, stepped on both ends ,dropped and drilled axle. It's a rat of sorts. The truck has a 65 425 2x4 nailhead motor. I had originally planned on a 241 red ram hemi but ended up using the nailhead. I recently sold the red ram to Tripper for his project. Anyway I am headed to Rangely Colorado to start a pipeline project in Rangely Colorado. I would like to know if anyone on the board is from the general area. I would like to make the rounds and visit a few hot rodders if in the area. I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas or happy holiday for what ever suites you. I am home now so back out to the shop. I would post pictures but I am computer challenged. I know how to send from phone to phone or email but thats it. I'm done now. TP

Tires are just rollers but I am going to run the spoke wheels. I also have a set of whitewall slicks on 16" ford wheels that I will run from timke to time. It will have bias whitewalls. The motor is a 425 2x4 motor and I am running the speed gems adaper plates with 4- 94's. It's been a fun but slow build
