I have had a slant six Deadly duster as my first car that ended up as a stock car, but not for long. I had a Scout 2 and fixed it up but it did not last long. I had an Elcamino that was totaled by a guy hitting my, I had all the body work and paint done was gathering parts for the motor..
SInce then just basic transportation. NOW at 52 I have a 53 Chevy panel truck to turn into a Resto/rod/daily driver/delivery vehicle for a hobby BBQ sauce business, one day.
I have started a build book, with some what of a plan. Hope it is starting in the right direction. I will be starting the actual build once the snow is gone.
I enjoy the technical information and creative minds that are one here..
Jack of all trades, Master of none, but I want to be.

Check out the gallery (top of page) to see what's out there. I use mine in my contracting business. Good luck with it.
