I am an electrician (licensed for 28 years now) and most of what has been offered here is wrong. Bill, ignore this thread, call an...

No new pics today, what we did just isn't that noticeable. But we got the hairpin mounts welded and smoothed. Got some work on the body done and...
Here's my '37 PU. Didn't know there should be any wood in it. I did find a small block of wood in one door just today. Guess I need to do some...
He doesn't need your money. Not to say he won't take it though. I've been there several times. Bought a few small things. Didn't piss about the...
Here in the middle of farmland USA, I've come across a 1915 Fiat and a 1929 Jordan in sheds. Still trying to pry that Jordan from his old bony...
No, I don't. I don't have a garage here. Just a ramshackle shed with no power and no heat. My brother has a garage and equipment and he does some...
Thats my progress for one day (I have not included everything we did). In my previuous post I mentioned I had to work Saturday. I meant at my job,...
Ok, got to work on the truck some today. We got the frame mounts for the rear spring shackles done. The shackles in the photos are temporary. We...
Thanks for the encouragement guys. When the T5 is on and working, I certainly will post up the info. I've been looking online for info about that...
Yes I did. And I was wrong. I meant to say 3/16". I'm interested to see how much it flexes due to the length. Had to account for that long...
The engine will be mostly stock. There's just not a lot you can easily do with them. Th cam can be changed but the head is the major restriction....

Found a 1929 Jordan Model G in a shed locally. Still haven't been able to pry it loose from the owner. Not gonna give up.....
No, its not ALWAYS a treat..... ;)
The only thing intersting thing I've found was from the door of a '36 Chevy sedan I got way back in highschool ('74). I was doing basically the...
Leave the other light stock for that 60s asymetrical look. ;)
Don't buy it. Spend the money with a good doctor. Start with an opthamologist. If your eyes check out ok, see a neurologist. There may be a...
Expecting 5-8" tomorrow and Friday. WooHoo!
Something a bit different for my new project.
Thanks Dave. No chop is planned right now. Just thinking about "what if". Have a long way to go before ride height can be determined but what you...
I've bought just a few small parts from him. He's always been nice, knows where stuff is. He has no problem asking a lot for his stuff. He will...
This is my '37 (?) Chevy PU project. Planning on a T5 tranny and a 4' box on the back. Maybe a top chop. I think the chop would look good but...
