RGcarguy --hope your truck looks as good in the daylight!! welcome to "Dad's Happy Place"

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks! So far it is what I expected. It will be getting a paint job, but most of the rust areas have already been replaced by the PO. The family approves! I will probably start a thread, but it isn't going to be nearly as much work as most of the build threads here. A lot has already been done.

You aren't using your purdy v-8?? :confused:
you have other plans for it?
You got another project waiting in the wings?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hhmm . . .... I'll take "you have other plans" for $200......

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Oh no you din't. I've been to your compound and seen things. You sir, are the picture derelict. Care to tell the board what you're working secretly on ? You sure don't post pictures of it...;)

Don't worry, I won't tell what I saw

Beats me. This engine was priced right. The truck I'm building now is going to be my daily driver. I will sell the Toyota when I get the 63 on the road. I drove my last 72 100k miles in 4 years and every since have missed having an old daily. The 250 inline 6 cylinder with 3.07 rearend gears ought to give good mileage for those duties. I might put the small block in my dually. Who knows.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

that is just wrong....I wanna know what SCOTI is working on :banghead:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

All kidding aside, I won' tell what I saw. He's very tight lipped about his projects during the buildup stage. I think he's planning to do one long post of the whole buildup when it's finished.

You will be blown away by it and that's all I will say.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

;)
can't wait :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

where is said project located.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Over in Garland (Dallas). Poor guy lives in deep city environment. I didn't see a single cow or tractor anywhere near there. I sat behind my shop looking out over the pasture and drank heavily when I got back home.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

lol I know what you mean....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Did Scotti cut his hair to help hide the secret of his project...that way no one could follow him to this secret, cowless environment workshop of his?

He is like the Batman of hot rodders...some where in a hidden garage.............

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started goin through the new rear end... transferring everything from the old to the new. While prying off one of the rusted drums, one of these popped out and came about half an inch from my hand. :exit:

I'm not afraid of spiders, but that had my heart racing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yeah, cause its about 5 inches long!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Whoaaa I'm not afraid of spiders either- not dead ones or smashed ones or ones all curled up because they have been on fire....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Here you go Scoti. Here's your old engine. Pictures are weak though. I just did a little hose off and paint job. A few powdercoated pieces sprinkled around. I didn't feel like spending too much time on this part of the project. Still lots left to do. I'm pushing to have it driving by Thanksgiving.
