    I drive my 1965 Chevy II every day, rain or shine. It is all original and has approx. 28k original miles on it. I bought it with 15k on it. It's my little creme puff. The car drives like a dream so why not drive it. After all, that is why I bought it!

    I know it's not real old, but this was my daily driver until I was broadsided about 8 years ago. Drove it rain, shine and even light snow. But if it snowed over 3 inches the truck's crossmember would just act as a snow plow and I couldn't move.
    Now I just can't get motivated anymore to get my other truck done. 35 Ford. I do a little here and then a little there.

    Driven every day, my 1966 Jeep Gladiator 3/4ton 4x4.

    She's my parts hauler, shop truck and even hauls my camper (got an early 70's Roam-A-Bout that looks perfect on it)

    Got a Buick 350 in it and it runs great, good on gas and more than enough power.

    I'll post some more pics later, I have some bigger whitwalls and am right in the middle of installing new gl*** in it...what a pain. The engine is a 59AB with a Winfield SU-1A cam, adjustable lifters, and headers. Pretty stock other than that, I just got it on the road last month. I am going to install my 2 1/2" dropped axle, reverse eyed spring, lowering shackles, and removing a couple springs. Hoping to get a 5-6 drop on it. I'll post more pics later for you.
    Thanks for the comments :)

    I drive my hot rod or custom everyday, when I have one. seems like everytime I get one done and start enjoying, a good trade comes along and turns into a project or someone makes me a big offer and I sell it. So I just keep building. Later, Michael
