Heck, you have a long time to go on that auction.... Quite sure it will go up considerably from where it's at now.....

Well, got the repaint done, other then a touch up or two, on the front end, and got the box set on the pickup, still need to adjust and shim the box. Still need to buid the racer-back fairing and tailgate. Getting closer but still a lot of work to do....

Lookin good, Dave. You dont see many of that bodystyle around here anymore.

Really looks nice Dave. Is there anything you can't do?
What kind of wheels are you planning on using? I ask because I've got a set of 5 on 5 1/2 slotted Mags that you could most likely barter out of me. Attached is what they look like except the one shown is a Unilug.

Going to be using some factory Ford steel wheels, 15' X 7" with stainless beauty rings and chrome lugs. Wheels are painted red on the outside, white on the inside

Thanks Falcon, this one will be for sale as soon as it's done! Need room for Tom's coupe and $$$$$$ for my Ranchero.... Then got to get the 'maro done and sold and start on the Bronco II (chopped, dropped, sbf, and a 5 speed) so I'll have something to use when I wanna go play with the rest of the kids!!!!!

Oh yeah, and scrounged up a pair of 15 x 7 slotted aluminum wheels for Greg's Galaxy, too!

Falcon see the truck is moving up at ebay .

Dave also see the pickemup getting ahead too. I like the wheels you put on the galaxie looks period . Your friend will be smiling ear to ear when that car gets a repaint .

Starting vacation this Friday and hopefully we'll all see a vid of the 67 cpe running for the first time in 10 yrs . Prices are going up clips for brake and fuel line was $46 today 28 piece set . Allmost a $100 for 3 soft lines . Still looking in boxes for one of the brkts for hard line to soft . Did a move in the tear down time and i think it went into hiding .

Another good day's work (for me that's about 3 days) and the box should be ready for paint... Not much after that except finish up some wiring, put the seat in, and fire it up....

Well bet you've been wrapped around the new grand babie abit also.


A good day for me is called tinkering around a few hours . But if there is a couple new bolts in im happy .

ummmm....did ya have any company in the bunny bag??????

A wee taste of Cutty.

Well, it's never sold until the money's in your hand but I can live with $4100 for the truck. Hope he enjoys it as much as I did building it. Lots of good fabricating practice in that one.

Not a bad price, Falcon, a bit of working capital, anyway.

Working on the pickemup this weekend, the new carb and distributor didn't show up on the big brown truck yesterday, so I can't finish up under the hood yet... Still have a few odds and ends to finish up on the engine, but it's pretty much ready to fire... Should get the blocking done on the box (again) today, then hopefully it will be ready for sealer on Saturday and maybe even some paint on Sunday or Monday!!!!!
