is it on here somewhere else?

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Not that I know of I saved the pics of when it was for sale just saw it and loved it..

[72k5zl1]

oh! didn't know where you got the pics. thanks! after it ended on e bay, a guy drove up from long island and drove it. asked if i would take cash, and the rest is history. i bought the orange and white lwb for short money and drove the wheels off of it for the last 4-5 years. now i have this mess that am in over my head on. i have a buddy from here who lives in grants pass now. he ships cars every month. no rust you guys are lucky.

Hate to jack your thread.....again but can you get some pictures of your English Wheel and that bike on the table? I showed the wife pictures of your place and she said she loved it, if you only knew how long I've been after her for a shop/house! I might be asking some questions in the future if you don't mind.

[72k5zl1]

no problem, i will dig up some more pics.

[72k5zl1]

heres some old ones, and some through out the years. this didnt happen over night. i have a good network of talented friends who i trade with. i went 3 years with no sheetrock until the town made me put it up. the back is homey.

[72k5zl1]

bike on the lift. 05 dyna, wrecked with clean title. got to finish it. side tracked!

[FRENCHBLUE72]

That house is awesome man....

You my friend are living my dream!

I see Baldor buffers....

what looks like a power hammer.....

very nice table for your hammers and shoot bag.....

you painted the P13 from red to black or is it another one?

very large brake......

what did you use for your legs on your fab table?

etc,etc,etc........

[72k5zl1]

thanks, not always a dream though, i work all day then go home to work. its tough on the wife sometimes, then it trickles down to, well you know. sometimes its like a clubhouse for big kids. there is a double headed plannishing hammer i built. watervliet/chicago pnumatic. same pullmax different shop/ new color. had a red phase. i have been buying and selling tools for 20+ years now. table legs are used well casings pulled out of the groung. a little paint goes a long way.

i know i have said this already but....... WOW

[72k5zl1]

thanks again. i had been going back to your build since i found this forum. i like what you are doing. i am getting ready to hack up my inner box sides and raise the floor like you did. what are you doing at the end by the tailgate?

Sweet build!

[67cheby]

still a little up in the air on the rear brace, i think we are raising it up to match the floor and just welding in a filler piece under that , cant decide what to do about the inside of my tailgate either, i paid alot of money for this pull off gate (almost perfect condition) but i want to section the inside panels and shorten the rectangles so they will be up with the new floor also , if that makes any sense !! i just cant bring myself to cut up this tailgate !! i know its just metal, but it has survived this many years without even a dent

Looking good... love the motor trans combo! .. I'm envious of your tool collection!! I can't wait to see you put them to work this truck. What type of shrinker/stretcher is that ?

[big_al_71]

I have to agree with the other defnetly a bad ass shop.....I look forward to seeing more progress of your builds (Harley also)....


<<<<< Loves Harleys

thanks again guys, dash showed up tonight. 140 speedo, 8k tach with internals to run off the ls style wire. and the vacuum gage is swapped to a boost for the supercharger. i may do a re-screen of the lens and lose the 5s on the tach? looks busy.

[67cheby]

looks killer, but i think your right loose the 5's

[72k5zl1]

talked the wife into taking a better pic. i think your right. no 5s. the expensive part is done the first one! i need to find a nos or super clean 67-68 bezel with no choke boss, just hole.
