More blocking and shaping the drip rail getting both sides the same shape. What a PITA.

To see the flaws better I sprayed some primer on it.

It's really time consuming. I'll be back on it today, still need to mud the back.

Strodder · 09-05-2011, 11:35 AM

Last week I got the front end put back on the 57 Sedan Delivery. Just some pictures of how handy it is to own a lift.

I'm really not trying to make you guys jealous.

Just click on

Then give it a title, and start posting pictures with a url code which means you have to have your pictures saved in Photo Bucket, or Smug Mug like I do. Then when you open up your picture, right click on it and copy, then click on the picture box above like this one.

Then paste it in this box. I hope this make sense.

bubba327 · 09-07-2011, 09:42 PM

Dennis I am having a really hard time keeping you working on your truck without Dave around to help out.
I like the looks of the shaved drip rail!!!

It looks like you have enough projects going on!!!

Strodder · 09-07-2011, 10:03 PM

Yeah, tell me about it. I just took in a 1940 Ford Deluxe Woodie for a frame off restoration. Also a 71 Caddy convertible is coming in as soon as I sell that Ranchero. The customer has them lined up for me. Then he has a 1960 MG for me to put together.

And I'm supposed to be semi retired.

Strodder · 09-07-2011, 10:05 PM

So where's Dave???

Howell88 · 09-07-2011, 10:12 PM

It is hunting season here in Idaho.
Archery followed by rifle ...Deer then elk with wolf season at any time.
He usually comes home when he gets something or the checkbook is empty.
Maybe he took the money tree with him.
I think that is why he stays self employed, so he can take off September and October to camp in the woods.

I dont hunt anymore, We just camp ,drink, ride 4 wheelers and watch football and call it man camping. Bonfires and camp cooking.
We take usually 6 to 8 5th wheels/ trailers/motor homes, at least 4 generators, a satellite dish and several TVs.
I did buy a wolf tag this year in case one wanders into camp.
We have a nice spot just off the highway where nobody goes , there is not any game there to bother us and it is a great camping spot!!!
Three miles from the liqueur store and gas station in town.

I've been working on a 1961 MGA for almost 2 years. I just epoxied it yesterday and I'm getting ready to shoot some high build primer. Good thing there's no deadline. If I didn't have a full time job I'd be dangerous.

But I don't think you will work as cheap as me.

Remember I also have other incomes. SS and retirement from Snap-On.

My kind of camping.

We do the same out in the desert with our off road buddies. I have a Toy Hauler and a Rhino.

Strodder · 09-08-2011, 10:41 AM

Greg, the customer is having the MG painted, then will bring it to me. I hate putting something together that was taken apart by someone else.

watahyahknow · 09-09-2011, 12:01 PM

it helps if you have an assembled car next to the one youre working on to see how it used to go together

I took this one apart myself and will reassemble it, so if you have any questions I'd be happy to shoot some pics of mine or answer them if I can. I think most cars from that era are pretty straight forward and easy to work on. Ps. Make sure you put the steering wheel on the left.

Thanks Greg. This project will come to me months from now. I'll let you know when I have it. Thanks.

BTW, I'm going to SEMA this year, are you? Maybe we could meet.

Strodder · 09-10-2011, 12:24 PM

My son just made the cover of Cafe Racer, and also a article about him and his shop in Skinnie Magazine. I'm so proud of him.

This one is from Skinnie

bubba327 · 09-10-2011, 12:33 PM

Congratulations to your family Dennis !!! That is outstanding to be recognized on the cover!!!!

Strodder · 09-10-2011, 12:45 PM

It wouldn't be the first time. This is his truck, and the next picture is one of the trucks he built.

Plus he's on HD Theater in Cafe Racer. He was on last year, and will be on more this year. Coming up soon in the 13th episode.

Congrats to your son.
