Yeah, those we're the days. These days we use little 50 watt combo amps, electronic drums, and mains you can carry with one hand and throw up on a speaker stand. Technology's come a long way; our whole stage setup fits in a minivan. Thank God; that heavy stuff is rough on the old joints after you hit 40!

Today should be test drive day; here's a shot of the cam break in going on as we speak! Over the last weel I've been getting brakes, exhaust, plus a bunch of little details lined out. I'll let you know how it goes!

TEST DRIVE SUCCESSFUL!!! Just a few blocks but it goes, stops, steers, and shifts.

How exciting that would of been, cool eh!!! Now you will be getting impatient to see the end of the build and get some mileage on it... Have you got a photo of I Scream before you started for us to see before and after..

Sure; here's what it looked like when I drug it out of a field last year.

I will have to say, since you started this truck when ever I do my weekly cross country Craigs List scan I'm always looking for odd ball stuff. Hell it makes me wish I would of kept my mid 60's postal van I had years ago. Lots of room, could haul a bunch of people or what ever if you wanted and ya gotta love the right hand drive.
Here's an odd ball Dodge I found last night...joe

Do it, Joe! Man, you could transplant the drivetrain out of that wagon you were driving, slap on a couple of coats of single stage paint, and you'd be in business! Maine is a pretty good haul to pick up a car but it'd be cool when it's done.

Looks great, Falcon!!! What a huge improvement over the day 1 pics! Just shows what a bit of imagination and creativity can accomplish, very well done!!!

Wow what a change Falcon. Have fun driving it!. Maybe play the ice cream tune really loud as you pass kids, slow down just enough to get them to follow, then peel out!
Seriously nice job!

Thanks guys! Still a long way to go to be finished but I'm pretty happy so far. Funds are getting low, too. But there's plenty to do that wont cost a bundle. I still have to paint the doors, hood, bumpers, inside panels, and rebuild the roll up rear door plus get all the glass back in but I'm happy where its at after only about 8 months of work.

Over the last few days I got the head/tail/brake/signal lights all working, built a battery hold down, did some more adjustments on the brakes and took a few more spins down the road. It's definately getting better. I pulled it out and cleaned it up after I got home from work today, it's gotten really dusty.

I guess I'll start on the bumpers and doors soon; I've got a friend working on the hood for me.

I can hear you from here! "I'm your I scream man, stop me when I passin' by"...

I don't know why this project is so fascinating to me, but it is. It's just so....super neat!!
