I been working on my house that why i havn't been around. Today a old dude pulls up looking for 51 parts. SO HOOK HIM UP !!!! Perfect hood and a gas tank. BAM 700 BUCKS IN MY POCKET. Heck i payed 400 for the whole truck. Love it when things like this happens. Havn't had time to work on the green truck but i crank it up everyday. Here is the house and just so i'm not out of line one of the green truck. P.S. Car show saterday post some pics. Sorry some pics. didn't take.

 

Progress is good on both projects.

 

Why is your house up on jack stands? LOL......

 

That's gonna be a pretty unique looking house once it's all done. I like it.

Truck is looking good too!!

 

That called pier and beam construction. We have a lot of that in Texas and the South.

 

Both projects are looking real great!

 

Thats funny! I built my house the same way

 

Looks nice Dale, Its good to see your name pop up on the board. Your missed.

 

Yes you are.

 

Looking good! Glad to see you back!

 

aw c'mon you know why his house is on stands ........ he owns fords like the rest of us doesn't he ??? well why should the house be any different , it needs to be on stands every once in awhile for repairs too ...........

 

Looks like a perfect place for snakes!!

 

Actually that's a pretty common style of building in this part of the country. My mom and dad have a rental house built like that. We sealed off the bottom afterwards.

I like your porch posts, Dale. And good choice with the Tyvek house wrap. Makes a big difference. You going with a metal roof?

 

THANKS GUYS' It's sitting on 8x8 and they go 8' in the ground with 4' of cement around them. When i wasn't welding in the day i was a plumber. I have seen cement slabs with the copper pipes and after 40 years you have problems. I'm going to close it in with stone. Snakes well thats just apart of life in fl. Heck i got gators in the back yard. 2mor. i'm going to the strawberry fest. in panama city [car show] so i'll post some pics. Put a add on craigslist and got a another guy looking for frontfenders so i told him to come take a look. Got three sets but he ain't getting the good ones. LOL I Still going to build a 52 oneday. But if anyone needs any small stuff P.M. ME . Maybe i can help !!!! I got my mama home 2day after knee replacement. She is 81 and a true trooper. So life is good down here in the south. Heck we ain't had no winter and summer is on the way.
