FuzzFace2 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 500' on air and cardstock??? That's amazing! Gary and I got in a big discussion about water rockets with his grand twins over the summer. Another 2 Flaresides! I'm always commenting that this place is thick with them. You're in good company. 😉 Well, it looks like you have your work cut out for you. Maybe you could pull that 4.9 and work on it over the winter? I see Horrid Fate has engine stands on 'sale' again. When I lived in CT I spent a lot of time in the valley, camping with mom, dad and my brother & sisters. Little older, boy scout camp and then racing cars at the Air Force base. When you said you had 2 trucks and was going to make 1 good one it reminded me of me. I did the same thing but used a long bed style side for parts and went a little crazy, others may say I went a lot crazy And you have 2 flare sides I am also a fan of flare side trucks as I have an 81 F100 that I did a 4 year cab off frame rebuild using most of a parts truck to make 1 good truck. Kind of what you have planed with your 2 trucks. Mine looks stock but I have a few custom touches that the factory should have done to the flare sides, metal ribbed bed floor and dual tanks! Cant wait to read your project posts Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleRed Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 ya we do Strato blasters too (water rockets) pretty cool as well.... black truck is essentially going to be scavenged for all the good stuff and used on the blue truck or cataloged and stored in the barn...the blue truck is solid here is pics of rest of the fleet: I have automotive ADHD, i like anything cool and i love from fast to slow... i do not have a good pic of the T on my phone but that project is pretty rad too Welcome!

ArdWrknTrk Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 How I found the crew cab Chevy. Been sitting for 20 years. I have to admit I'm a little jealous of your fleet. That Galaxie wagon would make a perfect sleeper if it weren't so old and unique. It looks straight out of a cartoon at that perspective. (Maybe Scooby Doo?)

My Grandmother had a Country Squire with a 460 and limited slip. Back in it's day it surprised a few people. Sleeper is the gold Camry with the pushed in bumper cover corner and a stock looking exhaust tip. But when a vehicle stands out you have to be naive to think it's not special. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
