[Old Man Roger]

My first thought was to make it a 2 door, but rattle snake beat me to it.lol I'd leave the roof on it though.

 

[xtremek]

Big Booty Judy II ? That is actually screaming in my head. But with your imagination one thing is for sure, it's going to be wild.

......,,. someday I would like to work on my own stuff again

Preach that!! My project's been on the back burner for the last 7-8 years because I'm constantly fixing other family members vehicles. At least they're for family.

 

[E.rodz]

Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy New Year! Made some personalized Christmas gifts and one of them just lit up our family White elephant game! . What is better than getting your family all fighting for one gift!

 

[E.rodz]

Sheesh one project at a time! Get back on the Chevelle!

I don't ever get to work on anything of my own anymore. Unless it is just to fix something on my daily that's broken .
2026 is hopefully going to be a change of that! Hope I can figure out a balance and get some passion back again!

 

[E.rodz]

going to try to get up to date a bit so a little rewinding is in order for now . Such a pain in the AZZ loading pictures from my phone the files are apparently to big so I have to load them up on Facebook and then download the compressed files to post them . Thought about joining in on protesting and helping burn Minneapolis to the ground today however I have common sense and integrity and morals! So I thought I would stay home and get some work done instead!

 

[Old Man Roger]

And this confirms my belief that you are not an idiot.lol

I don't log into any sites on my phone. Not only is it a huge PITA it's also a huge time **** when I should be doing something constructive.

it may look like a simple design but it gets a lot more complicated shortly

 

[Old Man Roger]

No! A frame built by you getting more complicated? No.

 

[stinkity stoink]

looking fantastic !!

 

[xtremek]

What size tubing are you using for the frame? Nice job.

 

[E.rodz]

What size tubing are you using for the frame? Nice job.

Lots of different sizes for different parts . Main rails are 2x4 .120 wall 1.250 for driveshaft loops, 1.750 for round stiffener and shock crossmembers.

 

[E.rodz]

complicated simplicity . It's crazy how much work it takes to try to make it look clean and simple!

 

[E.rodz]

more complicated simplicity time consuming stuff no doubt!!

 

[Old Man Roger]

So nice

 

[jbmatth]

Crazy thing is that we are in talks with my friend that I am building the truck for. Trading labor for 20 acres in northern Wisconsin and if all works out I will be building a new house and shop and starting over again!! .
This will be one hell of a challenge!

Good luck with all that! Glad to see you moving forward.

I'm in the early stages of starting over again too, it will be one hell of a challenge but one I'm sure both of us are up for. Keep plugging away and you will have an amazing setup up there too.

When you never ever stop even for one second, is really considered starting over, or is it just par for the course? lol

Well it's funny how life can take you off the path you were going down and completely change your direction in life! So far the rebuilding part has been one of my best decisions.! As for the next chapter we will have to see . Going to be a huge challenge no doubt

 

[E.rodz]

When you never ever stop even for one second, is really considered starting over, or is it just par for the course? lol

Starting over on a new course completely and my body is protesting and slowing down. So doing this so late in life is going to be one of the biggest challenges yet! Still working on a deal to make it happen yet however I am hoping to make it work out for the both of us ! .

 

[E.rodz]

Why do I see a 40x60 pole barn in your future?

Definitely not! That's only 300 SQ feet bigger than what I have now. My dream is quite a bit bigger yet! However may be cost prohibited for how much everything costs nowadays!

 

[E.rodz]

Making slow progress on the truck however slow progress is still progressing .
First time sitting on its wheels! No more Jack stands and blocks holding it up! Next step finish brake system run brake and fuel lines, transmission lines , finish welding up the bottom of the chassis. Then strip everything off again and prep for paint!

 

[Swanny1953]

Looks like quite the TT power plant!! Should be a handful!
