    Rest in Peace Toby Keith

    I’m not much a fan of modern country music, but Toby was one of the exceptions. His style was like the old outlaws, which I prefer. Most of the rest of them past 1985 or so sux.

    1930 Dodge truck, not a Fargo

    Cover the top layer with black vinyl. It'll look like a cloth insert.

    Model A frame front suspension.

    You can set caster with a wedge spring mount. Of course the bones will have to be set farther down at the frame as well.

    Model A frame front suspension.

    As light as it will be, I’d want a Vega cross steering setup. That way the box is up front out of the way of the exhaust. All you would need would be a pan hard bar running from one side of the frame to the axle. It wouldn’t matter if you had stock or split bones, hairpins or a 4 link, the pan...

    Scratch built rat.

    I see you haven't cut off that steam train cowl and flattened it out yet.:) We talked about it a couple of years ago on another board....

    Do you guys crave shop time?

    Yeah, I get restless, especially this time of year when I can’t get out and do anything. It’s not just working on the cars, it’s working the tractors, cutting the grass, building stuff. I love the challenge of making and fabbing stuff. I find myself staying on the computer too much, reading, and...

    '34 Dodge Brothers, double build.

    For a minute I thought you were gonna say “I swept the floor and found another project car I’d forgotten about”. :ROFLMAO::D:D:ROFLMAO:

    How's your weather????

    We got out of the deep freeze and into the tropics! About 4” of rain since Monday, expect another 1” tomorrow. At least the temps got back up into the 60’s. Next week supposed to be dry and highs in the upper 50’s to low 60’s. Spring is about 7 weeks away!

    Nice anniversary Vette! Like the Falcon Squire wagon, too. Seldom see those even over here.

    Gene....was / is this your truck?

    Coup, if it was me, I’d put them above the Louvers by the tag indent.

    '34 Dodge Brothers, double build.

    I’m with Bob and Gene, I buy premade easy bend lines and connect them where needed. I don’t even own a double flare tool, only a single flare. If I have a line that’s a little too long, I make a loop near one end or somewhere toward the middle to take up the excess space. If you think out where...

    My 40 Dodge Truck Build - Maybe a 41 LOL

    If it’s got grit in the cooling passages, I’d think they didn’t flush it good. What about the oil passages? Do you think it may be in there too? I’d be scared of it too. Although it’s gonna cost you, I think you’re doing the right thing. If you don’t tear it back apart, you’ll always have that...

    other hobbies?

    Dang, I miss Billy, 21Willys, willowbilly3 and Torchie. :( Been seeing a lot of old names pop up on these old threads lately.

    Steering wheels, got a kool one... let's see it!

    My last computer crash lost most of my pics. Even the external hard drive I had a bunch on died . There might be some on my build thread on here, it’s just a 66-67 Chevelle wheel.

    68 XR7

    Beautiful cat! I’ve always wanted one of those. When I first met my wife, she had a 68 289 Cougar. She didn’t keep it long after we met, it had a cooing system problem and would lose all the coolant, running hot. She traded it in on a 76 Mustang II before I got a chance to work on it. We’ve both...

    Center jack for 4-post lift

    Car Show Troubles.

    Yeah Couper, I’m pretty much the same way. I’ve got trophies dating back 10-15 years that I’ve won with several different cars, and most of them I don’t remember which car it was. I used to go to a once a month cruise in on the first Saturday of the month, then they had to move the venue and I...

    How's your weather????

    Actually got down to 8*F last night here. Neighbor’s dog drug part of the insulation off my outside spigot line, it froze and burst about 4AM. I had to let it spray until about 11AM until it got above freezing a while to fix it. Just capped it off until spring. Even with a thick pair of nitrile...

    Car Show Troubles.

    Power Parker’s everywhere. One show I sometimes go to they start to park on Friday night for the Saturday show! I always try to get there about 6am myself, it’s around a courthouse square block and the adjoining streets, if you don’t get a spot around the courthouse it’s almost impossible to...

    How's your weather????

    We got 1/4” of ice/ snow mix last night, shut the north half of the state down. We don’t get around good with that on the roads, too many hills and bridges. Low temp last night was about 15*, supposed to hit 11* tonight before going up to the mid 30’s by tomorrow afternoon. Another round of cold...
