The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Still alive and driving my truck

No, not dead nor is my truck. It's been spending the past few months hauling Mustang parts around while my daughter and I have been restoring her car. She just got her learner's permit so I now have 6 more months to get it ready.

I've spent zero time working on the truck because nothing is seriously broken and I've needed to use it on a regular basis.

Once the Mustang is done, I'll be back pampering the truck getting it ready for painting.

Here's a link to my webshot directory showing a mixture of truck and Mustang pic folders.

Now that I have a little extra time, I'll try to chime in on a more regular basis. No lounge anymore? Too much flaming?

Take care
Craig Maynard

PS-Bruce Palmer, I've turned a bunch of Mustang restorers onto ZR. They love it.

C--- glad to have you back,nice looking mustang that your daughter has, I have owned 3 of them in the past, 64 1/2 with a 260, a 66 convert with a 289 and a 67 with a 289, all real great cars, wish that I had my 66 convert back, it was a nice one, beefed up and it would fly,, got rid of it to get my 52 truck,, take care and nice to hear from you, we have a lot of new members so dont forget to share your wisdom every once in a while,regard....Fred

Craig,

Now that you have driven your truck for awhile with the 3:55(?) replacement gears, would you do it again or swap out the rearend and go with a T-5?

I think you did the 3:55's anyway...

A girl who likes working on her own car, man thats great. I bet she can now talk shop with the boys at school and they are speechless! They probally don't know whether to ask her for a date or ask her to help them with their car!

Wecome back Craig. Cecil.............

Welcome back, bro'!

cmayna! woo hoo! nice to read from ya again.

cool 'Stang... vrooom.

Ya gonna send her to one of those driving schools out there in the land of sunshine?

'this is how ya do a bootleggers turn'

-W

p.s. where were the cool car girls like that when I was 15? Hmn... I musta been at the wrong school here in Georgia... but that is a given.

Would I do the 3:55 swap again? Yes since I like to keep my truck as stock looking as possible. Yes I could put a V8 in but I love the L6. I can average a good 65+ keeping up with the traffic.

Horvath, nice to hear from you again as well. Hope all is good with your music.

The daughters first boy toy is taking auto class at his high school, so it's fun when he comes over to visit. First the garage then my daughter...argh

Temp will be early 70's here in the bay. Perfect weather for the truck and I to cruise around in.

Now that is Cool.

Hey Craig-

Lugnut daughters rule! Lots of great Dad & me time there! Boyfriends change things, but not so much when yer all wrenching. Many hands make light work, no!?!

Craig, don't be makin' yerself so scarce.

John opened up a new hangout called "The Greasy Spoon," but don't go in there with any thought of messin' around. The waitress is also the bouncer!

Check out the new T-shirts and stuff in John's Hoo-ya Shop. You've been missin' out on stuff, man, and you've been missed.

Be sure to read about all the stupid things we've been doin' while you were away. Joker started it, as usual! :p

Hey! Good to see ya back! How olds yer daughter? Mine's 13........she bought herself a '57 Nash Metropolitan last March. She found it, she wanted it, and she bought it! We work on it together too, have 3 years to get it done!
Just brought home a free GM 2.2 for it, with all the extras on it, suppose thats next soon!

Im off to see yer Mustang....... sold our '67 a few years back....

Cheers!

That is nice!
Amazing how cars are more appreciated when you build your own!

I'll show my daughter your pics when she wakes up, after tomorrows air show

Nice to see ya again, C. And nice Mustang. So, are you gonna ditch the pony and plant some big, round driving lights in that grille?!

Johnny,
Daughter turns 17 in July, so I have about 4+ months to finish. This is why you wont see too much of me between now and then.

Norse-Still up there in the forbidden (forgotten) coastal hamlet of Cutten? Glad to see you haven't changed.

Glenn,
Yes I did find the greasy spoon and hope people stay a little more civil while being in there. I remember the days when.....

What has happened to MT ?

MT is alive and well, he lives near me out here. He said he found another website, more friendly,...

I see him at car swap meets and shows occasionally, or when I need a hard to find part!

Good to hear from you, sounds like you're busy.
