I've been slacking, but here are some pics anyway.

I have been kind of lazy as of late.

I have driven the roadster about 60 miles or so. I am still trying to sort out some issues with the carbs. I think most of them are worked out now. It was a royal pain in the ass though.

The car is pretty fun to drive. I had to crank the shocks up in the back a bit to keep it from bottoming out. It sure gets the looks going down the road. I even went by a cop and didn't get any grief over the "legality" of it. Ha Ha Ha

I wanted to get it all sorted out so I could drive it down at the roundup. Now we have 4 inches of snow and it is blowing all over the place.

I have also been working a little bit on the "rocket queen" project. I think that I am about 2 hours into it now. Ha Ha Ha

It is in what we refer to as "super mock up mode", I need some money so I can get a little further on it. The roadster has me broke! Ha Ha Ha Help a brotha out and buy a t-shirt from me at the Roundup!

I think the terrraplane wheels are going to be cool. I also had an 8 inch Maverick rear end that seems to fit pretty good. I plan on using an MAS dropped axle on the stock front springs and getting some chassis engineering leaf springs for the back. That setup worked pretty good on the spacetruck so I will go ahead and use it on this one too.

 

You are one sick puppy!!! Where do you find the time??

 

ooooh, I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress. What's the box on this one going to be?

 

Do you ever sleep?

Here is the nifty T-shirt design that Tuck made up for me.

 

What kind/size tires are those on the rear?

I have a new set of Firestones (50+ years old) with a similar tread and have never seen any others that look like them

 

Those look like Deka's from Coker?

Also (and this may be a dumb question) but what brand is that cab?

 

What is this one going to be called? Do you have something in mind? Or is it going to find its own name...

 

The lander is going to be at the roundup? Can't wait to see that...amazing.

Dig the shirt too...

Plowboy's slacking > My highly motivated. I want a shirt...

 

Get your ass on the stick you slacker you.
I mean hell, all you've got done this year is finish a project take it to tha Autorama and win some sort of a prize, then get it out ands sort the kinks out.

Ya gonna make a part hauler out of this one?

 

This one is gonna be called the "Rocket Queen" showing some props to my heroes in Guns and Roses. Ha Ha ha

It is going to be a beater truck since I seem to keep fucking up and putting white interiors in my finished projects. It makes it really tough to drive to the parts store. This truck is being designed with the sole purpose of hauling my beer to Bonneville next year. Features will include an umbrella mount and definitely room for a large cooler.

It is a 36 Chevy truck. I REALLY NEED a windshield frame. Anyone got one?

As for the tires, I have no idear what they are. I want to run something similar on the finished product though. I have 5 of these wheels and want to mount one baja style in the Bed (59 Lincoln side panels) for a spare. I want all the tires to be the same size.

 

I'm pretty sure they are these.... http://coker.com/store/customer/product.php?productid=16267&cat=368&page=1



Edit: I can't figure out why that image won't show correctly.

 

They handle better with all the tires the same size.
But non of that matters you had me at "beater'. But I guess you already know where I'm at.

 

The tires on the rims are probably 50 years old.

I like the looks of those Coker ones, but I don't like that $166 price tag. I may have to rethink my choice of rubber. Maybe Corky will hook a brotha up with a HAMB discount. Ha Ha Ha

 

mel told me u hav a crush on me. do u really like me?

check one

____ yes

____ no

 

__X_ yes, when you give me that sweet boy love
__X__ no, when you spoon with Melvin

 

He will, just call and ask.

 

This will be good inspiration for my 37 Chev pickup that is 3 projects away from anything being done on it, get going and post progress. Slacker.

 

You guys are icky.

 

That's pretty cool.....maybe you should get someone that can draw a little better next time though!!

I'll donate to the cause, but you'd have to shoot one to Australia.....???

 

i need a shirt, but i'm not cool enough to wear black...''blue is the color of heroes'', but i'd settle for white...

 

nick actually got this note in class today, he just changed the name...fuck parker lewis, aaron grote can't lose

 

I seriously want one of those shirts, shoot me a PM with price and stuff, I'm all about black T-shirts with cool shit on them and the lander is as cool as they come.Medium or large is my size of choice, I can pay with Paypal or shoot you over some good ole dough, since it goes to the cost of the queen it makes me a part owner, like maybe a valve stem or cab bolt!!Scot

 

We need some details on the shirts(sizes,prices,payment method).

 

I need a Tshirt from uranus!!!

 

yes, put me down for one as well. i'll just pick it up in austin. an xl,please. thank you.

 

And I thought you only asked about spooning with me.......

 

lookin good mang. i want a shirt and uranus. ha,ha

 

Normaly I'd make fun of "super mock up mode", but with the other two cars in the background and your track record, I'll just shut up and anxiously wait for the next update.
