Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Been looking for a used, dead Radio Flyer tub to use on this build.
Tonight I managed to get this Hazet tray and a bunch of tools. Should make a nice tray. Not as nice as @Johnnybravo has been able to snag, but happy to have a better part than the porta potty. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pspqgax5at.png |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Holy Moly. I just looked those up on the great interweb, they sure do like them. I would have never guessed they would cost sooooooo much. Nice deal on that Rian.

Yes they make silly money. Pretty much how one could look at art and sculpture Value is what someone is prepared to pay. So last night the sun set was even better, having snagged the Hazet tray. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pspjrqgv3m.jpg Up at 5am, thanks to Harley, then 28 miles to fetch my prize. Took Prozac in the end as it’s just such a nice tool. Thankfully as there were some really narrow lanes to get there and the Blazer is rather wide. Nice guy the seller. Tools. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9ubftelp.jpg Included was a mini tabletop Workmate with all of its parts, and a serious woodmans axe. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psjslinqcb.jpg And mocked up. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps58gowbzi.jpg Looks like we are in business. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Discovered this in my shed.
Really nice steering gear. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psb13ewhjy.jpg Sally was helping me unpack the tools from the box. Big ones. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psihgbhfuj.jpg Little ones. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psbhsvy357.jpg Included in the tools were quite a few SnapOn tools https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pswhfvhhiw.jpg Eventually got it all unpacked, sorted.

Thanks to Sally. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psrhje1zzz.jpg I guess next will be the actual build. After this. We headed out to the Sheppeyncar meet in the Blazer Much more fun than be allowed. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psscnncm1s.jpg |

A very good internet friend and mentor on Garage Journal in Australia recently lost the fight against cancer. He had inspired many around the world and will be missed a lot. Various mementos have been generated in Steve “1/2 Cup” Church’s memory. One of his things was to get Quality Shed Time in. Thank you Gazza in Australia for the QST stickers. @CraigRK obviously snagged one and Dennis Jones gets one too. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psr1lrerhd.jpg Once I have decided on the right place, which may be inside my house (I live there and pay the mortgage) I will show its place of honour. Trusting Steve will approve. Continuing on the 54 Bel Air theme @CraigRK and I have spent hours talking about it and all the potential permutations of buying it. Including the cost of modifications and service parts and upgrades. Not cheap by any means but it will mean a decent safe car if it gets bought. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psixpxq4ku.jpg More later. |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Took the chairs Sawdust Steve brought over, to Sally’s place in Prozac tonight.
Left it there as she is gutting her bedroom and it all will go to the tip. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psnyxj2snb.jpg As always, the little van that can is delivering |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Got home yesterday from a day spent at Sally’s place completely gutting and tearing her bedroom and all of its furniture apart.
Her son, daughter in law and grandson will be moving in for two years with her in order to save up for a deposit on their own place. The lovely landlord where they have lived the last three years and cleaned up and improved at their own cost has doubled the rent. So she is giving them the large main bedroom, redecorated and moving herself into the third very small bedroom. Crazy, but that’s a mother’s love, and they are good hardworking kids. Being that it all will be going into Prozac the van, for disposal at the local council tip 10:miles away, it really needed to be completely dismantled, right down to the handles, knobs, runners, hinges etc which @CraigRK is getting for his garage projects where he builds sliding storage solutions.. Got home and there was a surprise parcel in the kitchen, which Tim, the new lodger must have got from Mickey next door when he came in from his all day training course. I opened the parcel and found a note, two number plates and a number plate surround. The new plate was from a 1955 Lambretta scooter, unused, for my collection. The second plate was an original 1962 California plate, clearly worked all its life. Parcel from Ernie, PedalcarJoe, collector of high end stuff. In this case, he had been told to get rid of his first ever emotional patina purchase by power that is Mrs PCJ. So the reason I wanted to sell the Blazer in the first place, and have been buying upholstery fabric and other bits, and even now, am looking for an INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE, was because I wanted to buy Ernie 1962 Ford Falcon Country Squire. Which of course has now sold, hence the 1954 Chevy Bel Air moving into the picture, unless I find something else more interesting https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psjinklzaz.jpg This was the car for those who did not know it. And yes, it would have kept its look, mostly. Older pics. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4bgbdp5u.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pslxmnxnin.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psjar2vbws.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...pszy7krq6i.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psaudythos.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psdxbxdfwt.jpg |

Morning Andy, THREAD HERE: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/...d.php?t=334140 These Arrived in St Louis yesterday For @CraigRK and @djones1 and myself. Thank you very much for forwarding these on to us. I suspect Dennis may let us know where his is going to go. Craig, who knows, he has such a variety of possible places to post it. Me........? Not sure yet, certainly indoors for starters, just to sit and enjoy, reflect, and talk about Steve’s legacy to anyone who will listen, there is always a chance to pay it forward in a life lesson for others. Thanks again for the effort you are putting in for all of us, making these and individually shipping them around the world. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psol17mk9v.jpg |
Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!
Sometimes the stars aligning makes all the difference
Well.... I created one. (A wagon) Craig really wanted a Radio Flyer based wagon to drag around autojumbles and bootfairs as well as other uses. Thank Last night Sally saw one listed on FB Marketplace for £15.00 which is crazy low, 22 minutes after it got listed. So we jumped on it from here and got @CraigRK onto it. Today he did a detour from London to Streatham to pick it up. Happy camper. Couple of stations. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...psopux80x6.jpg http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/m...pstq9o0jbb.jpg Little Red Wagon on an adventure.

Just a quicky.
Got home this week to another parcel from Jonesboro in Arkansas My friend Steve of the two Purple Hearts, had gathered me some plates that fit right into my box of interest.

Today was a busy one.
We did loads, saw much, ate well. And laughed a lot, visiting various friends Bought, scavenged and collected stuff. All I want to share is a bunch of kids toys seen really. So off to Faversham for a market, and then visiting mate Neil nearby.

Would have them if I had less “stuff” laying about. Thursday I called a mate whom I do not get to see often anymore as my job has evolved and the territory changed However some friendships are cemented in simple trust and knowing who has your back. In this case, both of us know it. After 45 minutes of catching up on travel, kids, dogs, cats and the rest, he randomly asked me if I had a trailer. I thought he needed to borrow one, and said yes, I had a bike trailer with no sides, but he was welcome to it, and that I wished it had sides as it would possibly work better for him (he is not a biker, so would not be needing a bike trailer of course) So he replied that he did not need a trailer, but had one, and did I need or want one. He would send pics on Friday. On Friday he sent these photos, and I realised I would happily offer it a home, so I asked him how much he wanted for it, to which he replied: A Handshake, drink a coffee with him, play with Max their new dog and collect the two litres of South African Brandy he has had stashed away for me the last two years. Now I just need to get to collect the thing 30 miles from here, as none of my vehicles have a tow hitch. @CraigRK May have to collect on my behalf on his way here to collect all the treasure he has at my place. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7fehtzus.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psgj1hadov.jpg https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psofouvzss.jpg Friday night after a rough week at work my V8 addiction broke through and Sally and I needed to go for a decent drive in the Blazer So off to my local, serviced gas station where they still fill your tank. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psdslbr6ih.jpg And then off...... Sally likes to take photos when I am not watching. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5ssoak7f.jpg Eventually back home, I parked the Blazer up over the street, in case a potential buyer stopped to look. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psw4iacldh.jpg On Saturday Sally and I went to Faversham to a street market, afterward we went to see mate Neil, who sold me my new welder a couple of years ago. He also sold @CraigRK a 75 liter compressor while we were there, into the back of the Focus it went. Then to the Isle of Sheppey to deliver the Radio Flyer race car to mate Aaron, and check out what he was up to. He pointed out the small skip and mentioned stuff he had tossed in there. Included was a good welders mask, about 20 hardly used micro fibre cloths bag, 200 very large black bin liner bags, and a load of random stuff I did pass on. Micro fibres already washed and dried. However............ This, came home from his workshop. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...psek2q4yr1.jpg Complete Porta Power tool. https://i294.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5g96zmgt.jpg |
