Here's mine. Dusseldorf design. Apparently each big city in Germany has it's own racing stripe. Let's see yours!

Thanks for the chance to win!

Hi MacTexas, Sadly, no updates on the '54 IH. But, I'm delivering this '53 to my Dad in Granbury TX, of all places. It's an old Atomic Energy Commission truck from Washington state. You can still make out the "Atomic Energy Commission" lettering on the doors. We redid all of the...

I'm still here. No updates really other than leveling out the ground around the building and seeding with grass. I switched my focus to finishing out my shop (different building from this barn) so I could work on some of these old rusty projects. And then I decided we needed a camper so we...

Subscribed! Looks like a fun project. For my monitor barn, I went with the largest door I could fit at 16' wide and 14' tall. Bigger is better for getting trailers in and out or using the tractor lift to move stuff in and out without worrying about hitting the door.

I also have this project up next: '54 IH longbed slammed on a '90 extra-cab dakota. I like this one because the 90 dakota bolt pattern is 5 x 4-1/2", same as '54 IH, so I can use IH wheels. And dropped spindles are available for the 90 dakota. The patina on this '54 IH is killer. I'll...

I haven't. Thanks so much for sending the link. My international floor is toast anyway, so using the dakota floor/firewall is something to consider. I'm not crazy about using any of the dakota interior parts. I'd like to retain the IH steering column and gauges and bench seat. No hint that...

Current Project is this. 2005 Dodge Dakota that was totaled but frame is straight and everything still works. Nice 4x4 with 4.7L V8. We (my daughter and I) have it almost striped and are going to shorten the frame and then put on the red '53 international body. The nice thing about the...

Speaking of projects, I have too many. I think some of the Fords are going up for sale.

With those high windows, I really don't need any artificial lighting during the day. It's amazing how much light gets in. I can work on projects and only need to shine a light if I'm looking from below. Phase II for barn is to Get solar panels, inverter, and battery pack installed. This will...

Phase I of barn is complete. I received OK on final inspection last week. Now I get to pay taxes on it forever. :(

My Dad's '51 chevy sedan he owned in high school.

Something is going on around here.

Got the other door rail up so I can open and shut the big doors. Some adjustments will be needed to get the doors to hang straight and close with no gap. But good enough for now...time to get back on the siding.

Thanks guys! I had to take the '54 out with this nice weather. I don't like to see running vehicles sit too long. I'm really wanting to be done with this barn and start working on the truck projects. But I'm trying to be good and focus.

Yes, I need something like that. I want to be able to padlock the latch to the stop.

Yes, someday. I want to pave all the new area in front of the barn, and the pavement would be just under the doors. There would still be some gap. A Mouse would fit, but a squirrel would not. My cat is a pretty good mouser. Funny, I would have thought I'd have some bird nests in the...

Thanks man. Yes, I need to finish the rail on the right! Right now the doors are pretty much stuck in the position you see them. Tomorrow :) For stops, I'll make one out of angle iron and bolt it right to the end of the rail. I was waiting to see where the doors land in the open position to...
