Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi Dale... so great to hear from you!
I hope things are getting back to normal for you. I'm glad that you let everyone know that you use a wheelchair to get around. I know that you planned to let everyone figure that out once you started building the interior of "Twisted Sister", but now that everyone knows, we can all appreciate what a serious situation it must have been crashing into the water and not being able to get back to dry land. Yikes, it must have been scary for you. Forum members... I was very surprised when I met Dale and Sarah at the Bothwell car show last summer. I don't want to steal Dale's thunder. I'll just say that I saw some some pretty impressive modifications that he's engineered and built into his red '65 Suburban, and I'd assume the '67 yellow C10 as well. Dale, when you're feeling better, I hope you'll share some of your creative driveability mods here. Cool stuff! Really glad you're on the mend. |

You just made me chuckle....... As always, especially for a young guy like you Nik, who is also constantly learning, I guess the lesson is always out there somewhere.... "Never judge a book by its cover"etc. I was surprised too, but the lesson for me is also that the old adage of crying because we have no shoes, till we see a guy with no feet comes true here. Great to see you back online Dale. And as Johnny says, I suspect you will have multiple custom touches to all vehicles you create. Genius often works like that. Get well soon, take your time and even though I am over here, please do not hesitate to shout if you need a hand, encouragement or just a chat. It's the weekend when I get home from work tonight, some admin, cut the grass and then relax a bit. Tomorrow is 08.30 MOT test for bike, 09.30 haircut and then it is truck time.......... Have a good weekend. |

Again guys, thanks for all the kind words. This really is a great community.
Here's a couple of photos of the welding my buddy is working on. This is on the rear gate. Also a couple of pictures of the new mill and the adapter to put a chevy transmission on the V12 |

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hi Dale!! That's a sweet looking mill. Did the bracket get made on it?
|
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Envy is running through my veins on that mill.
Glad to see Twisted Little Sister getting some attention. Nothing better than a little shop time to boost the motivation on healing. Any word on the status on the yellow truck? |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
The show must go on! :metal:
This thread is like Breaking Bad, or Game of Thrones. Everyone's anxious to see what the next episode brings. Thanks for the update Dale. |

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
