A 460 would be a nice start in this. I like how it is properly tied down to a quality trailer.

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.

Good evening everyone!

Had a graduation party this afternoon for a neighbor at the old house. Disassembled the workbench and hauled it back as long as we were in the vicinity. It's being converted to a laundry table. The former laundry table is too big to fit downstairs so it is now my workbench. Works out good.

Got one side of the downstairs doors stained. Tried to use a foam brush. Didn't come out very even. I only did that on one. I might sand that one down and start over. Paper towel actually seemed to be the most even coverage. Too bad it disintegrates along the way.

Off to give the little one a bath. L8r!

I've found a good quality bristle brush works well, or a soft terry cloth Michael...

I use an old t-shirt for stain.

Got back from Osakis a bit ago. It was a really nice visit with my cousins I rarely see.

That Ex looks really good Jim.

Jim ... you can cobble my truck anytime. I'd say that's a dang good cobble!
