Title Problems. So i've been waiting for 90 days to get my title sent by mail for this truck. The DMV inspector called me yesterday to tell me that he 'forgot' to send the pictures of my truck to the state when he sent the rest of the paperwork. So now he has to come send Another statement and...

Second Attempt at a Title This week I decided to work at getting the 3/4 ton inspectable. My dad helped me set the bed on it that I had made two years ago for my 68 C10. And he said he could get me two tires to put on it. The next thing I did was I cut some spare carpet to cover up my plywood...

This is the build thread for the truck I got for free. I've had it home for a few weeks and now finally got something done on it. First I bought a battery to stick in it. Then some spark plugs. After that I filed the points and cleaned up the distributor rotor and cap. Then I started hoping...

rear sittin on bags I finished up my airbag brackets on the back axle yesterday and today i took some pictures and shot a little paint on the brackets. Now i know I didn't take time to grind my brackets smooth, but its not needed since no one will know i didn't but you and me. I was having a...

I got a few more parts for my rat rod over the weekend. I got a 15 gallon air compressor tank for my airbags, and a 25 gallon empty barrel of ZEP parts cleaner for my gas tank. I went ahead and mounted my air tank tonight since our torch is broke and i cant cut brackets for my airbags. It will...

Title attempt Wednesday i went to the tag office to get another form in the long process of titling my 46. The mean lady with glasses pretty much told me I had done everything wrong... until she looked at the paperwork i had already done and seen i wasn't as stupid as i looked. The only thing...

going in reverse So ive been working in reverse lately [S I put my cab back on its original 46 frame and put the fenders back on and all in an attempt to get a title. I wired up my headlights and turn and brake lights. And i took my windshield frame apart and took the busted glass out and I...

Some of you might have read my unbelievable 1946 story. Well here is the truck. we pulled it out of the barn today with the left rear wheels locked up. but we got them to turn some after a while.

Yesterday me and my dad went to a mans house who has farmed since he graduated high school and my dad has played music for over thirty years. My dad was only 16 years old when he started playing bluegrass with this man. He ended up being almost a second dad to my dad. We had rode over to his...

Def on the WWs I didnt use a chassis from a r/c car. Just the steering box and drive box and wheels. Definitely going to paint the wide whites on the tires.:D The body is about 7.75"x3" and the wheelbase is 3.5"x7". I think the only painting i will do on the body is painting on the windows...

Okay. So I was assigned a project in my art class to do a "time" project where we make a sculpture to capture a period of time. I decided to make a mini sedan out of metal to be like 1930s tin toys. [;) I got to building and looking for tires to put on it... which is when i found a rc car...
