.... and here we go again....

... the truck project fell flat on it's face once again. Between having to put tires on the camper, a disfunctional riding mower, a money pit (most people lovingly call them pools,,,,, own one for a while,,, you'll side with me!!!), now the heat and air unit has taken a break for the summer.... get it? taking a break?

On the plus side, had an awesome time at the 12th Annual Hot Rod ReUnion. Camped for a week. Met some awesome new friends from Ohio and Canada. Can't wait to hook up with them next year! Took 700+ pictures. Coverage coming soon!

I also got to go to Dragstalgia 4 this year. Another great time for such a short day.  Glad to hook up with Matt, Skippy, Laura and Randy. ALWAYS a fun day!!!  Especially when it comes time to play "Here, Taste This"!!!
  I'll get links to all these pictures,,, plus shots of Bonnie Valentine and The Deuce on here a.s.a.p.

Gotta make room for Frog Follies and Shades and The Rumble and The HooDoo.....
Gonna be a busy fall !!!!!  God, I love it!!!!

Peace out!

This and that......

I keep thinking of topics I want to get on here and discuss or maybe rant and rave.... but then sit down at the computer.... and i've got nothing..... notes, man. I have to start taking notes!!!

 The latest on the truck,,, let's talk about that instead. I pushed the back half of the S-10 chassis to the very back of the yard. One brake was dragging so it was quite a task! At 52 years young I still have the power and strength to do a job like that,,, but when I stood up and tried to breathe..... oh damn I thought I was gonna fall out right there! It's time to think about working smarter, not harder!!!
 I lined the back half of the OG suspension with the front S-10 stub. It didn't line up as well as I had hoped but with a little cutting and tweaking it will..... well, it will be something. At least there's big ol' fenders and running boards to cover up anything that looks weird, lol.


The front rails are clamped to the body mounts.

 It's actually starting to look like a truck again!

... more progress on the truck... less Facebook.....

It took a lot to get to this point and to most people in this world it just looks like a whirlwind hit, lol. It's ok by me. I just do what I can, when I can and let the rest talk. Like I posted before, trying to use an S-10 chassis was just not working but welding in the front stub from that same S-10 chassis into the original frame.... now THAT brings interesting possibilities!  Today I cut the back half of the S-10 chassis loose...

Now I just need to trim this...

.... and make it slide up inside this....

I've got a couple more brackets to get out of the way but this will look more like a truck in a few days.

Stay tuned... the fun has finally begun!!!!
