Sorry you had to do a step forward and several back to get on the right track! The gaps look terrific and I'm sure the paint will be even more spectacular the second time around. The wood bed and your attention to detail around the side panel indents will make all the difference in the world...

That looks like it will be a handful!! Great looking build - keep the updates coming!

Don, saw this at a car show today and I thought of you. They say wheels can make or break a car, and I think they missed the mark. Kind of a cool paint job - bit of a chameleon. They also transplanted a modern Lincoln interior.

Started on the fuel sender/leak project on the '57 Cameo pickup. The rear bumper is 3 sections, with the tail/stop light wiring routed through the center section and no provisions for disconnects. Once I figured out the sequence to remove the bumper, I had to zip tie the center section to the...

Believe me, I've had it up to here with close by lightning strikes and the havoc they can cause. I've had lightning striking a tree at the lake house go into the ground to a nearby irrigation valve, then travel to the controller and blow it up! Three years ago, we had a close by strike that...

Subscribed to ride along on another fantastic Don Long project!! Those C4 bits look terrific. Now I have to decide if I have the inclination to try doing that with the suspension on my '57 Cameo!

Along for the ride. What you accomplished with your wife is very impressive!

No, the injection is Jim Inglese EFI. I agree on the Impala - it was John's dream car, and she made it happen. All original, drives like it, but he loves it!!

Sterling, glad to hear the surgery went well! I hear you on listening to your body's complaints!

Swapped out the Dakota Digital oil pressure sender on the '49 Caddy. Not much real estate, and had to use a crow foot to remove 1/6th turn at a time. Both Dakota Digital and my local retailer said it's unusual for a sender to fail, but once swapped out, I had 40psi at idle.

On Fathers Day, I took the '49 Caddy to a local car show at Ford's Garage in Plano. I told my family that's what I wanted to do for the day, along with having all of them come to Fords to join me for lunch, which they did. My SIL brought his new to him '58 Chevy Impala convertible (a 10th...

Looks great, Don! Nice bling!!

Don, how are you going to accommodate the "smuggler's box" you spent so much effort to power operate?

Glad you got everything together in order to enjoy the fireworks. Tough luck with the bubble, but hopefully it won't be too hard to correct! We had plenty of drama trying to get our barge ready for the fireworks on our lake. If I can get my oldest to capture some picture from the video she...

What he said! Keep it coming, Don.
