Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Nice to see it on the road. You really need to come by on your next trip to Idaho. I will cut you some slack for allowing your daughter to go to Corvallis, I grew up in Eugene!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
This was something I got to work on a couple months ago and probably the coolest thing ever! Was asked by Chip Foose along with 2 other stripers to help in Carsland at Disneyland!

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Let me know when, I may be going down to my Sisters place near Lakeview in the last half of August. Do have some flexibility if I know in advance.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Is the Carlsbad thing a Cars themed car based ride (like the motor rama I remember from a trip to Disneyland in the 60's)?

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I survived the washout that Billetproof 2012 was! What a rainy mess...Ugh! Was a bunch of fun talking to fellow HAMBers and checking out some of the cool rides even in the lousy weather. Went to the cruise night in Centralia and I must say I'm jealous. *****in' downtown with lots of great shops and places serving "adult" beverages! LOTS of great cars and trucks showed up once the weather cleared and even more people showed up to watch. Had the idiots in the imports trying to be cool and race but the "Man" put an end to those morons! I was lucky enough to get a great parking spot across from the Olympic Pub (Awesome place to check out!!)

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
The headwind between Sacramento and Redding was awful! Was probably 40mph (easy) and was all I could do to keep the truck on the road! I took the wipers off because it was trying to rip them off the truck, so needless to say that part was no fun! Without the wind it's pretty quiet inside, but it was a little noisy then.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
No, Carsland is based on the movie "Cars" by Pixar a few years back.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
I've gotten stopped in my 64 Chevelle a couple of times because the cop was bored or interested in the car too.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
! I even got pulled over by the MAN (a CHP) coming off the mountain into Redding! He said he pulled me over because it seemed a bit "loud" as he was following me. I think he just wanted to check it it out because he asked "car guy" questions and was flipping out on the interior! He told me to be careful (no ticket OR warning!) and I took off and came home with no problems! Fun 2500 mile trip...[/QUOTE]
Yeah right, loud, with the semi jake brakes coming down from Shasta, he heard your truck over it. I got stopped between Ontario and LaGrande Or for the same thing, I asked "who complained, jack rabbits"? Had the receipt in the glove box for the new mufflers from a week before. Then he gets down on his hands and knees in front of me, gun sticking up in the air and looks to see. If I had been a bad guy... poor choices by a trained professional.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Looking good! What did you end up running for coil springs in the front? Did you run the stock ones or are they dropped?

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Off subject of the truck, but I had to share this! I showed in an earlier post that I had been working at Carsland in Disneyland, but I didn't share everything. I've known Chip since '93 and was honored when I got the call to help with the project! On my first day to stripe, I showed up with my old trusty and a bit beat up paint box that I'd owned for close to 30 yrs.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Ordinarily I am kinda anal retentive about trying to keep things all organized, clean and neat, and in its way your box is absolutely PERFECT! (Obviously or it wouldn't be at Disneyland!) So its on my PC as wallpaper now.
I SO wish I'd taken up striping as a teenager when a buddy of mine did. I'm 57 now and I wish I could still learn but seeing stuff like you do, mine would never satisfy me. ![]() ![]() |

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
That is way cool. All of my carpentry tool boxes are very vintage, passed down from previous generations. Every signigicant building I have been involved with has a bottle with my business card and a note on my involvement hidden in a wall for someone to find in the future. When I did some remodeling on my Dad's house last year I found his "makers mark" behind the medicine cabinet from the 50's when he remodeled the place. I like doing historic building work because we always find cool things. On new buildings the crews think the masonry block is for disposal of beer and pop bottles.

Re: Project "49 No Buck$"
Who would've thought you could make a toolbox look cool?
Well done.
