ol_skool_chevy · 06-19-2010, 08:38 PM

"Irish Ale Beer Company" on the door

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 08:40 PM

Yeah!!!! U come up with the stencil and we can paint it on the door. I'll get some poster board at $tree and we can make up some stencils. This is getting out of hand but I love it!!!

fryer1979 · 06-19-2010, 09:20 PM

Ol' skool, I like where your head is at. I have always wanted a car/truck with a flamethrower, it sure would be awesome to see.

The Flame thrower is VERY cheap and easy to do...you can build one for about $30....
Parts needed...
1. Old coil
2. 5 or 6 pole toggle switch
3. Spark plug
4. Spark plug wire

The only thing that has kept me from doing it is that the bumper on my '79 Camaro is plastic. Not a good mix for fire. Once I see one done and get to watch a real video again, I'm sure that adding one to my '65 won't be too far off.

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 09:21 PM

Watch this space Fryer!!!! I'm on a mission now.

irish1966 · 06-19-2010, 09:38 PM

I have it!!!!!!
The name on the side will be "SOFA KING". Below it will read "We're Sofaking cheap".

The first one to get it will get a gold star. LMAO

fryer1979 · 06-19-2010, 09:44 PM

nice. I'll keep my eyes on here for sure. With two trucks in one thread, from a fellow Guinness drinker, how could I not? Can't wait to see how it all turns out.

Frizzle Fry · 06-20-2010, 12:59 AM

...or you could put "we todd did" under Sofa King

irish1966 · 06-21-2010, 02:45 AM

Well, the 66 in the earlier pics is now mine. We went and picked her up today. A leaky gas tank, no tailights, and a gas pedal that liked to be carressed to keep her running. I was high as a kite after the drive home. Luckily it was only a few miles down the road. I found it hard to get used to the fact that 2nd and Reverse were so close. Had a little scare when I went to take off in second and starting moving backwards. Lol. Good thing my buddy wasn't too close behind me. Anyways, got her home and she got some immediate attention. I will post some pics soon. Ol Skool came over and we put in a good days work on her. Thx again to Jason for selling her to me and being really cool. He is building a rat rod and I hope he posts pics of his soon.

fryer1979 · 06-23-2010, 02:10 AM

Waitin' for pics...

irish1966 · 06-23-2010, 02:38 AM

ok, so here's a before and after pic of the daily driver

irish1966 · 06-23-2010, 02:45 AM

This was the most fun build I have done yet. It was a cheap buy and we put in two solid days of work on this truck and made a great daily driver. I have to give a lot of credit to Ol Skool (Kelly) and my buddy Tom.

fryer1979 · 06-23-2010, 04:34 AM

So kool!

Thanks Irish, you just made my night.

ol_skool_chevy · 06-23-2010, 01:12 PM

I agree, This was the most fun build I have done in a long time...Rags to riches...
I love these old trucks and there so easy to work on.
I still can't beleave we turned that old truck into such a nice clear lowered driver in just two days.....I am looking for another truck to do now....

Frizzle Fry · 06-23-2010, 01:27 PM

Wow, you guys kick arse on that! Looks waaaaaaaaay better!

irish1966 · 06-23-2010, 01:53 PM

Thx lads. We put in some hours on this one, but it chirped the tires and lit some fires yesterday, and that made the effort well worth it. Needs some small stuff, but it will be running around Hillsboro as soon as it goes on the Insurance. I'm still grinning from ear to ear.

**CHIZZLER** · 06-23-2010, 10:55 PM

not bad david and kelly.i looked at buying that truck also.you guys going to make it to billetproof.sure would love to hang out and drink some cold ones.

irish1966 · 06-24-2010, 03:37 AM

Yeah for sure Chizzler, when is Billetproof?

**CHIZZLER** · 06-24-2010, 10:17 PM

billetproof is this weekend in centralia washington.i will post pics from the show.

irish1966 · 06-26-2010, 07:41 PM

Thx Chizzler. A quick update......

Got some bits for the 6-banger. Shocks for the front, ordered the rears. There is a bad exhaust manifold leak, that's starting to give me a headache lol, so I got a gasket kit for it and a donut. I also picked up a carb kit and my buddy Tom is the carb man. He's gonna rebuild her and jet her. So, hopefully by tues I will have it running sweet and quiet. Then the exhaust is getting a make-over. Something, to give it a nice sound. That is, after I get a camaro and a pontiac from in fornt of the garage. Then hopefully on to OL SKools ride. I have faith in his six banger. If we can get that one running, it will be another sweet daily driver for him. Pick-N-Pull, here we come.

irish1966 · 06-26-2010, 07:43 PM

oh yeah, if anyone wants to donate parts to our cause, feel free. I know we can't buy or sell anything on here, so donate away. lol

J~S · 06-28-2010, 03:49 PM

Nice work Irishman! I look forward to seeing it on the road. The truck used to be named Frankenstein - not so fitting anymore.
