Hi to all my old friends
I have not been active lately.......my health has been poor.
I finished the 48 GMC trk(extended cab, chopped top...etc)
The Rolls remains unfinishrd & I am working on a 65 Biscayne
which I have had to hire a fellow to help.
The Biscayne is a frame off & I am attaching a few pictures.
I have nstalled a 1959 Chevy dash, tilt wheel & T-bird bucket sears.
I made a enter co sole for it........DonDon Meyer, PhD-Mech Engr(48 GMC Trk/chopped/cab extended/caddy fins & a GM converted Rolls Royce Silver Shadow).

Hi Don, I love those old 2dr sedan Bisquicks, and the new dash is a lot more interesting than the original.
Looks like a 65?, and I;m guessing the paint is a lot more red than it shows up in the monitor.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

Hey Don,
Good to see your name pop up again!! So what caused that loud "POP" in the 700R in the truck last year? You posted a few things about it, then fell off the radar??Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Good to see you again Don. Sorry you've been feeling puny, but I can sympathize. Love the dash and as Mike said, way more interesting than the stocker. But that steering wheel...........................

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Welcome back, don. I really like the '59 dash in your Biscayne--very unique idea. And it looks like it was factory. Very cool! I hope your health continues to improve. Nothing is more important than one's health.

Great work on the '65 Don! I've always like the '65 SS and the Biscayne (what a sleeper, eh?)
Hope you're feeling better soon my friend!

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
