    Hey y'all,

    Thought it was about damn time I introduce myself!
    Been around awhile, just never post. Gonna fix that!

    Looking forward to the LSRU this year and trying to figure out what to bring.
    Last year I brought the lowered Pepto Rhino truck.
    Looking around for a quick project or probably bring a 52 Chevy 4 dr.

    I have a small shop off Irving Blvd that I spend my spare time wrenching.
    Currently way too deep into 60 - 72 Chevy trucks.
    Is 8 really enough?

    Anyway, glad to meet everyone and if I can help anyone in the local area
    just let me know!
    Mike

    Here's a photo of the 52.
    Trying to find a water pump and pulley that fit right!
    Hopefully the correct one will be here Friday.

    Here's another snap shot of the shop where I tinker.
    Always a few projects going on at the same time.

    Unfortunately, I had to sell the 53 wagon...
    It would have been sweet to bring to the LSRU!

    I'm always up for any get togethers here in the metroplex.
    The local car shows I've been to around here are ok,
    But I like the round up or pistons and paint type shows!

    The Elco currently has hydraulics.
    Debating on removing them and putting it back to stock.
    But then again, hopping it is pretty entertaining!

    Believe it or not, NAPA carries the water pump for my 1950 Dodge flathead 6, so odds are, they'll have yours. Only takes them about 3 days to get it in.

    And...
    Welcome! Be sure to check the link in my signature for the Lone Star Round Up info ****e....April is right around the corner!
