This thing looks like a work of art, but for 10K it should. Sadly though, I don't think I'm experienced enough for this one.

Some a$$ stole them a couple of weeks before it was crashed. The stupidity of some people still never ceases to amaze me.

Thanks for the compliments guys. Pictures make everything look pretty good. I took some short cuts that certainly wouldn't have been acceptable on a new Lincoln, but considering the age and value of this truck it worked out just fine. My friend was ecstatic to get her truck back too.

Some record ETs at the killer track in NJ this weekend for any NHRA fans.

Have a great Sunday everyone.

agreed. seems like lots of recent work where it should go for more than a normal 250R, but not this much more...

yeah, for real, you could have at least got a set from a junk yard and put them on for her...

Not typical Chebby junk, custom Chebby junk! I wouldn't want that parked in my neighbor's driveway, let alone mine.

Hangin' out is the plan for me now. Got the Expedition finished up today and kicked down the road!

The 350 has 3k miles on it now, so I'll probably change oil and wash it up tomorrow.

Here's the truck, I think it looks respectable for a cobble job. This would have been about $5k worth, we got it done for just under $1k including the new Michelin.

Have a nice Saturday night everyone. I'm gonna go start a fire and hang with the wife for the evening.

Looks pretty good for a cobble job Jim!

I don't think Tom was up there this weekend, but some of his relatives were.

Nope, we were at a friend's farm/cabin. We did some off-roading in the back trails, shoot stuff and had a good time.

Now time to clean guns.

Hey guys. Took a couple steps forward on the bike and one giant step backwards. I cracked the clutch side cover through my own stupidity. Now I need to find somebody to do some aluminum welding. And the gasket set Dennis Kirk sent me for the cylinder related parts was wrong...

Hope everyone had a good weekend.
