am fraid...looks like a ton more work, and the scars on my hands are just now beginning to heal..

one last thought... figured iv earned it!!

the beginning of the end... not really! for the inagural ride we went to the gas station to fill up w some good sunoco 260... or next best thing. am pleased w this project, at least with most of it, so far... now comes a diff breed of fun with "betsy" or maybe "ginny"

motoring the mill came out of this fine donor vehicle, 350 jenkens rebuild w 60k ish, it got new(er) chevy "turbo" heads w 2.02 valves and a high output comp cams marine cam... the cross ram prob isnt the most efficient, but i think it looks cool. and the fenderless fenderwell headers are out...

da guts i dont really have any good pics of the interior, gut i kinda am proud of it... the same trans-am that gave up its steering column, also donated its brake petal assembly. found a spoon type accelerator petal from a really early ford pickup. got honda prelude bucket seats (including...

Reply Frame, was a gusseted roofing frame, you can kinda see it in the avatar, plenty heavy... The steering is a trans am tilt column, shortened 3" and affixed through a colapsable shaft to a manual 68-ish mustang box, with a cross steer set up, and a pan hard bar. D/b

out of propane, and beer - time for bed! its funny, if i sit down on the couch, i can be asleep in minutes, if i go the garage and get busy, 3:00 am is not a difficulty.

more stuff / less hording... kinda like in the movie "Iron Giant" when the machine got blown up and began to pull itself back together.

i havent done a good job of documentating the build but here we go... 40 chev cab, some kind of bed, and some frame rails...

Most intelligent folks would just buy a truck, not me, i just wanted to share the "thrill" of the first ride... I just took my inagural drive to the gas station. It didn't quit, didn't pull, didn't shimmy, didn't brake dive... I happy!! Now for the fine tuning... d/b
