    He's asking 25K https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/5381662904.html . Not sure how much flex is there. I noticed a couple pics in his ad are from before he had some interior work done. The pics in the snow were taken last week when I was there. I drove it a bit and it's actually a nice...

    My dad got new wheels and tires for his '36 to compliment the new paint and brightwork. On my '35 progress has been less dramatic. The bed and tailgate parts have been sealed. Some more paint removal and then the passenger B-pillar was removed to be straightened. Apparently the damage my fat...

    Overdue updates. Marc's C-monster has progressed nicely. We got the new tires mounted, rebuilt the front forks, totally redid the monoshock (and still aren't done yet), and installed the new bars. He's got all new lighting to be installed still. My Silverwing, now known as Zero, has been...

    Started a new project recently. My buddy, Marc and I are building ******* bikes together. Kinda scrambler/dual sport/rat bike/WTF direction. He's starting with a CX500c and I'm basing mine on a GL650i (Silverwing). Both are from Honda's "twisted twin" family. I'm collecting parts before I...

    End of summer update... My dad tossed a cheap repaint at his '36. The TruSpokes are being traded away in favor of some Torque Thrusts. Flipping another batch of 8.8s. Did some riding. Ordered up some bed parts for my '35 pickup. Exhaust repair on my brother's VW bus. There's always work...

    I finally got around to finishing the custom hybrid wheels on my 510. The outer hoop was cut from some 15"x7" Jeep Wrangler donors (backwards so the valve stem is now on the inside). The centers were sectioned from early Datsun Roadster 14"x5" using a brake lathe, plasma cutter, jig made from...

    While I was in 8.8 mode, we slapped one in my brother's '36 pickup. Even got my nephew involve a bit. Huge improvement over the old 9".

    Thanks for the encouragement, Sean. Here's a couple side money deals. Bought and sold the 5 8.8 rearends. Those went quick! Also picked up 5 T-5s and flipped them. 4 got the input shaft modifications and 1 was left alone.

    Focused a bit of attention on the Cutlass. New G-force crossmember, Painless lock-up kit, rear diff cover, and an A/C rebuild and conversion to R134. Then made my annual trip to Pendleton for a car show. My brother traveled with me in his '36 pickup and our dad came from the opposite...

    Meanwhile in Compound-East (Idaho)... My dad picked up a '36 pickup. It was built around 20 years ago by a diesel mechanic and then inherited by his grandson. Some of the build was done well and some really needed to be redone. Since it had sat for a few years, the brakes needed work. Then...

    The frame for the 35 is painted and has been mocked together yet again. Still haven't installed sway bars and the brake lines aren't run yet. No weight on the rear gives it a Baja Bug stance. That probably won't be addressed until close to the end of the build.
