Projects Holy crap its been a while....

Hey there everyone. Its been a long while since ive found myself back on this hokey *** message board Anyway, a lot has changed, i own a house now, have more hot rods, still have the 39 and im also the president of our local street rod club now too Anyway. Ill try and be more active on here again. But for now heres the latest happenings with me and my vehicles.

Still own the 39 Dodge D11. Not much has changed with it, plans are in the works but its a "back burner" project for now. I still get out and enjoy the car though.

Main project now is a pro street transformation on an 83 chevy c10 pickup. Thats currently sporting a very heavily built 406sbc which currently makes approx 580hp at the crank. Break in dyno it made 566.7hp @ 6500rpm and right around 510lb ft of torque. To back that all up its got an FTI billet triple disc "hard hit" 3800-4000 rpm stall converter mated to a level 3 performabuilt 4L60e trans with a gear reduction planetary set and a rossler trans brake thats 2 year unlimited use warrentied to 900 RWHP.

Next up i have a "modern cl***ic" if you will, which is a low mileage well taken care of 2003 Ford Thunderbird. Thats all original ans the main purpose of that ride was to be able to take off with the other half across the country if we wanted to in somethinf with style that still had cruise, AC, heat etc and something she was comfortable driving.

Anyway enough blabbling about me and my ****. Heres a handful of pictures of the vehicles! As always, if anyone has any questions/comments about my vehicles or what ive done/plan to do to them please feel free to reach out!

Whoopsies. Thats my bad i guess. Well i still have one eligable vehicle anyway

 

Cl***ic example of Midwestern America! Even the local hardware/welding store could have an old car in it. I can't count the number of times I'd go into a hardware or auto parts store up north and see hot rods, motorcycles, and dragsters either on display or being worked on. Red-blooded blue-collar Americans through and through!

Welcome back to the HAMB!

 

Thanks man. Story behind that is our local welding supply store opened in 1939 and qhen our car club initially announced that the store wanted clun cars to be displayed throughout the winter for something or other they chose my car first as its a 1939 and thats the year they opened. That being said i felt obligated to take some pictures of it on display after i got it positioned inside the store.
