Sweet project! I need to get another old iron car. I miss my 63.5 Galaxie 500.

Lot of work to be done here folks, and I have been snapping pics of the progrees every day, so you know I'll keep you up todate on how the project is going.
I really love doing these jobs, not only hard work but it's actually fun.

Just wish some times I could spend this much time and effort on my own two projects (Navajo/Flareside 150).

But to no avail I'll get around to them.


Thanx for all the kind words everyone, glad I could share!

Oh did I mention sand blasting (not in a cabnet) is just sooo much fun?

I now have a sand box/litter box in the back of the shop.

For a guy like me who grew up in the height of the muscle cars, I love this project. Are those Crower aluminum rods? Are you going to take it down the 1320 and see what times you get? I bet that sand blaster is nice! my buddy and I just bought one with cabinet and can't wait to have it hooked-up. He's going to start building a 41 Willys like the old drag cars of the 60's. Keep the pics coming

I always wanted to build a old Gasser style Willys, some reason i just love the look of them. When he starts it be sure to post pics, if i could ever afford it ill build my own, though lately i rather build a 32 Hot rod, or a Model A of the Muscle car era, Aluminum rims, Big ass motor, open pipes.

Sorry bout the thread Hi Jack SVO, ill start my own thread lol, i finally got pics of where i work. And hey, if this car makes it into a magazine, or a poster, make sure to hook me up with a copy

Keep up the work, and we need MOREEEE pics!

Sand blasting is fun, but you have not lived until you get a rotissarie for the car first

Top notch fabrication skills my man.

Wanna sell me your welder? I have been looking for a good deal on the Miller with Argon for some time now...

Looking sweet Jeff!

I have a friend with one but it was occupied , so I wqas unable to do it the easy way of course.

Thanx for the kind words, I'm still under construction I should have some more pics here in a few days, and don't forget that I have the 1965 convertable project going at the same time so I'm having to split my time on both vehicles.
Wish I could put this time and efforts into my own Trail Rig.

Wish I could, but then how would i be able to "Hot Glue" all the parts together??

Looking sweet Jeff!

Aside from doing those at work, and some tunning, and other bolt on thingies here and there, lets not forget, the 92' Navajo, the 85' Flareside, 04' GT, and a 17 Ski Boat, that's just the vehicles, lets not forget the house, yard, blah,blah,blah.

HAHHAHA! so little time, sometimes I just wish I could buy a few extra hours in the day.
Plus I'm looking at opening a home baised Automotive HVAC business also, just waiting on approval for the Snap On ECO-Extreme A/C Service Center, model# EECA318A.
Then I might be able to generate a few more dollars comming in to justify some progress on my own junk!

Thought about giving you a call while we were in CO. last month but there again we were running out of time.
