Marquez Billet taillights and marker lights acquired

... And Les (member 70shortfleet) sent me a message today that the tilt I sent him is built, painted (factory blue color) and will ship soon.

I'll post up some pics soon

Your column looks *****in

I know it's been a LONG time, but I finally did a little work on the chassis for Walt. PB extreme front & rear dropmembers, PB bolt on body drop. Drug the stuff into my man cave room to just tinker on it in the A/C

**nlped** · 10-25-2015, 06:43 PM

Boyd efi tank too...

**nlped** · 10-25-2015, 06:44 PM

A few more pieces/parts... Remember I'm building 2 of these.

Good eye... It's actually a trickflow intake for a 351W. I'm building a 418ci FI motor for my 74 Bronco

**Hart_Rod** · 10-25-2015, 10:10 PM

Nice progress!

**nlped** · 10-25-2015, 10:20 PM

^^^ Thanks Rob. Hopefully I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on my CT41's

Sounds like you'll need 2 sets, I give multiple discounts....,

**nlped** · 10-25-2015, 10:57 PM

^^^. Hmmmm... Looky there.

cooperhw · 10-26-2015, 01:08 PM

Frame is looking good. Got a nice winter coming up to get stuff done inside soon.

Gus350 · 04-25-2017, 10:02 AM

Any updates on Walt and the shop.

**nlped** · 04-25-2017, 02:19 PM

Unfortunately, I really haven't done much to either. I've sold my '70 GMC and most of the parts I'd gathered for it and I've purchased quite a few additional parts for Walt. I do actually hope to finally get back around to working on him very soon.

The 'shop' turned into a cluster and is in limbo. The day after having the drainage and backfill placed we had a fluke day of thunderstorms and 4-1/2" of rain. Well, all that pressure and volume overpowered the drains and packed the dirt so quickly that the wall cracked in several places. Everyone started pointing fingers at this guy or that and my shop build came to a screaming halt. Not sure what I'll do there.

**nlped** · 12-10-2017, 12:45 AM

Still no updates on Walt. Unfortunately, I’m contemplating selling it and the EXTENSIVE collection of parts. Not sure about that yet though, as I don’t want to sell it all piecemeal.

**nlped** · 12-10-2017, 11:22 PM

Since I did make mention of my shop build in this thread, here are a few shots of how it looks today. Final dimensions are 36’x46’x14’. Not as big as I’d planned, but the lot dictated the final size. I’m still moving into it, but I’m plugging along.

**nlped** · 01-05-2018, 09:28 PM

Cool tool caddy I won while at SEMA...

NoNeck · 01-06-2018, 01:27 AM

I love your shop man. Any updates on Walt?

**nlped** · 04-01-2018, 09:35 PM

Finally got Walter moved into the new shop. As soon as I finish the Falcoon I’m going to finally get started on him. No paint work, just tons of suspension, brakes & such! I’m stoked to death.

**Advanced Design** · 04-02-2018, 08:58 PM

Gotta follow along for the updates on Walt! Chassis was looking good so you should have a big jump on moving forward.
