busy busy busy

well the 52 S-10 project is up and running. this has been one of the most fun projects i've ever done. i have enjoyed every aspect of this project so far. it doesn't look like much yet but the aim of this one was to build a safe fun vehicle that can be enjoyed without worrying about getting it scratched or dirty. the little 4 cylinder pulls it around nicely and should get good gas mileage. the disc brakes stop it great and the best part is that it's still a 5 speed for shifting pleasure. with just a little more tweaking it will be road ready. now i have a large mess to clean up in my shop before i finish the truck.

until next time

progress report

well i did it. i completely disassembled a perfectly good s-10 and started making an oldie out of it. things went real well and it only took me 2 days to get it all apart and get the ford cab mounted on the chassis. ah but now is when the real work begins. i have to fabricate a complete new floorboard and then figure out where all these wires in this harness go. it should get real interesting. stay tuned---film at 11.

latest project

about time for another post i guess. i started a new project today and i'm hoping it won't be a long term one. i'm going to put a 52 ford pickup body on an s-10 frame. yeah go ahead and call me nuts--lol. i've been wanting to try this for a while so we'll see how it goes. the intention is to leave all the newer components intact---engine--transmission etc.---and put the ford body on and make all the computer stuff work. it will certainly test my fabricating skills and my ingenuity. i have the s-10 nearly stripped and will start putting the ford cab on in the next couple of days.i will put a picture up of the nearly stripped truck. now if i can just figure out where those 10,000 wires go i'll be ok.---to be continued
and so it goes---till next time

first of july rants

i figured it was about time to make another post. we have been pretty busy so far this summer and late july and all of august will be even busier. gotta love it. we took the 54 ford to a local car show last saturday. there were 125 cars there and i was like a kid in a candy store. anybody that knows me knows that i love 'em all. we had a great time and managed to snag a top 100 award. at the end of july we hope to go to the somernites cruise in somerset and take both our cruisers. it should be a great time. i'll try to post some more pictures and if any of you all have pics of any of my cars just send them to me and i'll get them posted.

until next time-----
