vs. Coupe And Sedan I grew up around street rods and going to car shows with an uncle that had several 39-40 Fords and never heard of these. Pretty neat car when you see it next to a sedan.

I would accept this, lol. Maybe something like this?

Read all the way through. I always love reading about seeing pictures of somewhere I have never been and likely will never have the pleasure of going to, especially through the eyes and words of a local. Thanks, Stas, I will keep checking in on this thread for the updates.

I had it for 10 years and has always been a dream truck but sadly never did anything with it. I was honestly scared of the amount of work I think. I built a lot of vehicles in between but it just sat. The time came where I had moved and was storing it at a friends (it was in pieces just to make...

Nothing terribly exciting, traded in a 15 Silverado for a 19 Ram. I sadly sold my 48 Chevy pickup to open funds to do some work on my 67 Cadillac.

Sadly none of the above. I was off the last half of the week for Thanksgiving and then needed the end of the next week off so didn't see any reason to go in Monday and Tuesday, lol. I mainly just hung out with my kiddos but did pick up a new truck last Friday. A pretty lazy vaca which is ok with me.

I was on vacation for a week and a half so I didn't get on the forum. I have been trying to catch up on the threads but work keeps getting in the way.

Hey Rian, Why not mount the LEDs underneath the body at an angle so that they're somewhat hidden but should be plenty bright to give you a good amount of light when backing up. This would also help with blinding others when simply reversing in everyday usage.

Hi Bob, Where did you pick up the spring compressor? I loathe the cheap ones you can 'rent' and have to alternate tightening but do not do enough work to justify the expensive units. This may fill the void for something I may not ever actually need. Edit: Nevermind, a refresh of the page got...

I wanted to tell you that you would be disappointed but didn't want to be that guy, lol. So i told Rian I would post up some links but i will keep it brief as i am not here to promote a brand. I was disappointed we didn't have any over the top builds going on as we normally do at this time...

I am glad your liked our little fly over state. I have friends that have never been here and ask why they should but i can never give a good answer. It's not the most exciting state but I am not sure i would live anywhere else. If you and /or Craig come back around this area definitely let me...

Maybe next trip to Iowa, lol.

Hey Craig, i was actually going to but I wasn't sure what day you were coming.

Ray's 66 looks nice. I looked for a 66 but ended up finding my 67. My 67.

I will post the links in conjunction with your pics, Rian.
