Coming from Waco TX. [ATTACH]
Well, as much as I need to do preventative maintenance, a guy did the right thing and ordered exhaust cutouts instead. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Nothing new, but had to share. I gotta quit pushing my luck. Yesterday while I was at work, my wife asked if we could use the truck to go pick...
Looks like most of the loss of power was due to a dirty carb. Pulled it off and cleaned it up, running great now! Added a fuel pressure gauge to...
Thanks for all the replies! I still don’t know what I want to do with the wheels and tires. I need to get that figured out asap. I spent some...
Ok, super cool to hear not everyone loves white walls. I already have them on my 53, and they're cool, but I'm not really wanting to go all...
Back with another project. I just picked up this 1957 GMC, looooong bed stepside. Believe it or not, this body is actually way worse than it...
One last update for the week. Finally out some wide white on Baloo! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] It’s fun to compare pictures and see the...
Welp. Went all in on the roof. It’s not perfect, but for a rattle can job, I’m happy with it. I couldn’t burry the metal flake enough with the...
Welp. Visor is on! Gotta take a break from this heat for a bit, but roof is up next. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Got a lot more done! Finished the outside brackets. The visor is very sturdy. That was one of my biggest concerns because I like being able to go...
Couple of updates. I have the first half of my visor mounted. too hot, so going to make the lower brackets tomorrow. I used threaded inserts so...
Ok, pardon the OT hood, but it was my practice canvas for my first run at lace paint. For a first attempt, I’m pretty happy with how it came out....
Bought the center bracket for the visor, I think it’s going to work really well. I have yet another bad idea, and this is your chance to talk me...
Afraid I'm not sure on that one. Sorry man!

Hey again all, sorry to the admin that needed to delete my posts. I was photo dumping and didn’t pay attention to all of the cars/wheels/OT. I’ll...
Back home with no issues! Already playing with my new visor. I think this will be amazing if I can make it work. Going to post a few pictures,...
Roundup was amazing as always! Still heading back, but posting this while stopped at an ihop. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Cars has done great so far....
Man, this thread is making me really regret selling the 54 4-door I had. Looking great!
Headed out Friday morning. Can’t wait to be back! [ATTACH]
Got the alignment set! Car is tracking perfect now. Pretty sure I’m all set for the round up. I did a plug change a few days ago because I had a...
No, afraid I didn't. That crossed my mind too. For now, just going to try and be careful with it. I was mostly in a rush to have something ready...
Well, did the interior. I’m happy with it for now. Not sure if it will hold up, but we’ll see. A real upholstery job is still on the someday list....
Yeah, I hear you. I kinda dig the look, but I really need something that can withstand 4 large dogs. haha Been eyeing some pleated vinyl material...
Playing with some interior ideas. Tried my hand at seeing some seat covers. Only did the folding fronts for now. I’m worried the material I used...
It’s been so good to have my car back. Already been out to Austin and back in a day. Car cruising 80/90 like it’s nothing. I do have an oil...
