Yes, missed you. I recall you posting on several of my threads, and appreciated the input.
Hang in there.

I have been lurking with envey,.. but I am back after a 4 year marital/domestic nightmare. As life sometimes goes....it hands you a lump you can hardly begin to swallow,...things/time passes. Life is good! Was able to buy my former wife out of the house and am back at home,...took a year to clean the place up. Had my Panel truck stored at my sisters house. Pretty neat how all my parts fit in the back of that old truck. I have a freshly machined Flat head with all the fixen's to build and will really be active here this winter.Still very much a mechanic so will need your help,...a lot

Roll Call
I check in very couple of weeks. Moved last year and had to enlarge the garage,done now.
Since I have a couple of finished cars to drive the truck progress is slow!
You can check progress here 48 Ford Half Ton Pick Up. I will include the gas tank and how I fit the filler on the next blog update,do not like bottom of box fillers so have a pipe out the fender,Anyone have a piece of 46-48 car filler door and surround off of a junk fender?
That is what I need to complete this.

Been keeping in touch with Arctic as much as possible. Keep getting better there Buddy. I am pretty dug in with jailbar trucks in the '47 and earlier forum but when I saw this thread I was hoping Steven would chime in with the latest on Abby. I always liked that heavy duty bobber pickup he built and last I heard he was heading to Shoreline Wa. and that's where I was born and raised. Still drive my '59 f350 flareside a lot, but just don't have an in between years truck so I don't have much to contribute here, but I sure enjoy reading all of your posts!

Still around. Been busy with life, trying to get everything buttoned up before the snow fell. That didn't work. The 52 F2 MH has the new frame grafted in and tack welded together. Its back to being a roller. Will close tomorrow on a "new" to me building on a commercial lot! Now we can bring all the toys home.
Glad to hear your doing better Arctic!

Still around. The '56 F-250 is in the garage, running but in need of work. The resto in 2005-2006 never really got beyond cleaning up the rear frame, suspension, and brakes. I want to dig into it again soon, as the garage space is needed for other projects! Plus that 8ft bed would come in handy...
