Projects
« on: February 24, 2006 4:00 pm »
Seems its been pretty quiet on here lately so I'm thinking everybody must be pretty busy on projects. So I'm curious what everybody is working on? Beeeings I'm so nosey I'll start out . I am throwing together another 56 chev moredoor, just slapped in a 283 and 4 speed and am now in the process of putting in all new brakes as this thing hasn't been on the road since 1970. Plan to leave her kinda rough for the summer car show season, just want a cruiser that I can throw a few guys in and cruise to a car show in. Figure its better than . driving a minivan to a event. Meanwhile I am also still hauling vintage tin home whenever I find it. Next?.....Weed

As you saw last night I finished my " Gypsy Trailer". It's a single axle trailer with a cover over the front to haul my T modified around. Working on changing the look on my '40 Chevy from a custom rod to a mild custom.

I'm mainly working on selling my '93 Prelude so I can:

A) Get one more car out of the driveway
B) Get some money to build the motor and buy the rest of the crap I need for the T.

Coupe is over at Odden's right now so they can weld up some metal work for me.

Welding welding and more welding.  Sadly not on any vehicles I own or at all at the moment.  Just the new job.  Keep me pretty busy, pretty broke, and I also dont have a shop to use anymore.

Ya gas station is closed now.  I got a job welding for Haybuster.  Gonna be renting a shop in Pingree this summer and hopefully get more side jobs welding to pay for it.  Anyone need a clip welded in?
