Larry Franks is pretty good (pops used this co. a few times). I have a few that are decent in my lit'l town... Cannon and Ft.Inn Body Works.. so I've been told...

Personally I like the Fairway Body shop...
.

 

Coming homeee to windddd out my summer...
It's getting very much cooler here in SK. The lows at night have been around 50ish and the highs don't seem to get over 88-90 degrees...
The summer here last what seemed to be about two months.

I oughta have some presents for the truck waiting for me at home.. Hopefully the afternoon/days at home during my week or so off arn't tooo warm...

Then I have to figure out what else is next....



(~7~days- 9/10)

 

Well... I've gotten the new **OEM** "upgraded" door panels for the truck (thnx Ed!)... But I don't think I'll have it in before the g2g... A-1 Elect. jus' shipped out my pw and dl-keyless entry parts... So maybe it will all be here by Fri.

But I still have a bit of Chapter related things to do between now and then... I even have 4 meetings scheduled... (while being "on vacation" )
Soooo mayybe I'll at least get a chance to wash and wax the truck a few times before Sat.

 

W'ats goin' on ? Not much at the moment except the deer are eating the apples in the back yard. Season starts Saturday. Work from 6:00a - 4:30p and daughters horse gets "worked" for 30-45 minutes after dinner. The Chestnut trees are "dropping fruit" and the trees are starting to change color.

 

All these screwy weather changes.... what are you guys doing? ... staying away from it (inside) or continuing on as normal...?

 

just picked up my plazma cutter so....... i gotta play this weekend. got the cab set back so i can start welding in the firewall and gotta do a little work to the turbo car before i take all the hipo parts off for my new turbo pinto project. yeah, i said pinto!

 

I'd like to see the start of this Pinto project....

.... Anyone catch the "Snow" on Folly Beach?!?!?!

 

4crammer72 - The Pinto can make a killer project. I had a buddy in Oregon with 1. He tubbed the rear / 10" rims and a pickup tranny with a built 302 in front. In pink w/ a white stripe, it looked like a school-girls car but he could wipe 442's, Corvettes and Mustangs. Truly a "Sleeper" w/ twin mufflers on each side. A daily driver with an attitude. ? Posting pics later ? Good wrenching.

 

ill keep a picture folder on the build. im going a little more subtle. going for about a 370 to 400 hp 4cyl turbo 5sp. got a friend thats runnin low 11's and gettin 25 mpg with the same set-up daily driven. im leaving the black steel rims with dog dish caps, and the luggage rack( for more sleeper effect). just widening the rears to 8" for dot slicks. ought to be fun....

 

What's going on in January for everyone?

 

Buummp? What's going on everyone?
