Kelly,

I do any kind you can think of, from residential to commercial. I've done it all. I like finish/trim work best, of course framing isn't bad either. I dislike commercial work the most. To much concrete and steel for me. Just put it this way, I like to work with wood.

Mike

I'm with ya there Swerve....I do nothing anymore except work with wood. Thanks for the nice comments BTW. I started in 1972, but took a break and worked in restaurants for awhile until the idiocy drove me out....I really enjoy what I do!

Right now I'm redoing the shop and upgrading the shop tools one by one...got my Delta 10" Sliding Compound Miter Saw on ebay right now...gonna upgrade that to a 12" soon!

*racedvl* · 11-07-2002, 11:28 PM

I must say, the inside of your truck looks great!!!

chevychic · 11-08-2002, 01:06 AM

Wow Mike! That is awesome!!

How do you find the time (and the patience) to build something like this?

Can't wait to see it totally finished

gchemist · 11-08-2002, 08:40 AM

I got a big WOODY NOW!!! :p

Nice job Mike. I bet the truck is going to be more fun to drive now. Just BANG the shifter for the next gear. HMMMMM?
Starting to feel like a Vette yet?

Mike, do you plan on changing out the steering column?

BigRed · 11-08-2002, 09:32 AM

Guess I'm coming in on the tail end of this thread.

That just looks awesome. I can't wait to see it upholstered! For the amps, you should find some 12v fans and put one on each side of the box to get a pass-through affect. You can just wire their power up to the remote wire going to the amps.

I love that steering wheel! Very classy.

Keep up the good work so we can all enjoy it!

Beautiful, extraordinary piece of work Mike. Really like the layout! Ken

make sure to use a relay if you use the remote turn-on lead to power your fans so you don't burn it out

Mike, I notice before you were asking about cup holder.
Do this, get a plastic cup cut the top off and attach it flush to the top. Another option is to get one out of another car and cut it to fit.

LOOKS great by the way!
