I guess that is why most Americans think that we all live in igloos up here
well they don't have those kind of conditions on the lower mainland or over here on the island. i haven't seen that kind of weather since 74 when I had to go across the lake by boat and start up a truck and it was 53 below F
I did live up north for 23 years

A.T. RockDriller · 07-06-2011, 01:41 PM

I just saw a news clip on the dust storm that appears to be consuming the city of Phoenix .....
Unreal.
Get the paddle-tires out...

wutnxt · 07-06-2011, 05:15 PM

Is now calling this thread

" The Dino weather channel "....LMAO.....wonders where he got to or if he is working on his truck ?

Junkpyl · 07-06-2011, 05:26 PM

It's slow going when you have to handle your tools with oven mitts

I've worked many day's in that 115+ heat and it does suck. Good thing is that it cools off to 110 at night

Enjoy a cold brew for me Dino, I live in a dry county

I had the same problem. I got cheap cat litter boxes from the store to use as tool trays for each job. While I'm working, I just slide the trays under the truck to keep them 'out of the oven'.

Sweet rear view, gotta love the M/T's....what are your rotors from, and I assume that's a Porter Built front end?? One more question, what did you use for satin paint on your Panel? Good luck I'll be watching your progress.

72BlckButy · 07-06-2011, 09:31 PM

Nice progress!

and sweet work on that back half

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-06-2011, 11:14 PM

Dino, that is bad azz and super fast turn around! You're helping me make the decision on to tub the 68 charger we just got, and I'm pretty sure it's getting whacked.

Junkpyl · 07-06-2011, 11:50 PM

Nice choice with the steamroller

This was always my dream as a young lad in the late 80's. I had a nice 64 shorty that I have always kicked myself for getting rid of

My question is will this be considered the "new" old skool?

jmedero · 07-07-2011, 12:00 AM

what happend dude I thought you were going to put wide tires on the rear.... oh well maybe next time huh. LOL.

Looks sweet man.... how about a pro street burb..... HUMMMMMMMMMMM

Dinos63 · 07-07-2011, 12:11 AM

DRTYRAT30 · 07-07-2011, 12:52 AM

Beautiful truck^^^

Dino,... I wish I knew you were going to buy the "big meats" so quickly.
I talked to a guy last year that had a 66 Impala with 21.50's on the back.
He switched over to the Mickey Thompson Radials and said it was "like driving a new car".
He couldn't over emphasize the difference it made.
I know they're higher,... but that's what I'd buy if I was gonna drive it.

You may have plans to just "set them up in smoke" all the time. Ha.

just a pic of my new location pretty stoked !! lots more space

VA72C10 · 07-08-2011, 01:47 AM

Awesome build! Love the truck!!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-08-2011, 02:35 AM

Sweet new building! I've had the sportsmans on a couple of cars and they do have their own ride persay.

chevyrestoguy · 07-08-2011, 07:21 AM

I'm running Hoosier radials on the '55 I'm building, and I'm anxious to see how they ride and handle. It'll be the first time I've ran anything other than Mickeys. These tires (29x15.50-16) are a little smaller than what I'm used to running, but Hoosier was closing them out and I got them directly from Hoosier for $80 (!) a tire. I wound up buying 4 tires. The 16" diameter probably was a slow seller, but they are perfect for the 16x12 ET III wheels I had custom built.
