Evan, that's a great story! For whatever reason, I enjoy a good haggle. Your friend saved you $700 for... 5 or 6 hours of your time? Were you...
Steve, there aren't enough hours in the day to finish ONE truck, just think how guilty you would feel keeping all those future projects OUT of the...
and let's not forget Foghat LIVE. No self-respecting 8-track player on earth would be without either of these staples.
Evan, There are quite a number of 1x12's in the pile- good eye! New England's climate is referred to as a 'temperate rain forest' (although this...
Evan, Yes, the Red Oak is from our land. Interestingly, there is no White Oak growing in the town I live in (that I am aware of). Neighboring...
Steve, I have seen a 1953 Penny. I have spent the entire summer working on the spot for her new home. Working with loggers, working with a...
Evan, There is no doubt a fresh, out-of-the-crate LS-anything is not going to be cheap. For the thin of wallet, a 5.3 liter out of a junkyard is...
Steve, I was (of course) just busting your chops. Penny will be just fine with a 5.3. And don't 'dis' Active Fuel Management too much. It lets...

Evan, I would like to nominate you for the first (ever?) Advanced Design Award To recognize a person for his contributions to the automotive...
If all the rust repair is done on the cab, then maybe a painted-outdoors-in-front-of-the-garage paintjob may be in order. Zig is living...
Deve is right. Make it something you do with your kids. It'll all pay off, big time. Let's say the bodywork is a "solid 10-footer" when done....
Steve, someday I'll share the story of not ONE, but TWO road-kill deer, less than 20 minutes apart... nothing like a stepdaughter with the...
Very nice Evan. Thanks for sharing.
Ok guys, Lets make this thread WORK for us. Would it be possible for any of you who have A/C in your trucks to snap some photos of the install,...
Steve, Feel free to interject a serious post. It's YOUR thread. And, it IS serious. Be safe my friend.
Steve, the thermostat isn't built in. There are straight and swivel necks out there, but all the ones I have seen are $pendy. 90-degree heater...
I recall seeing those very pictures in the dictionary, under "Booger Weld". But if the twist from a 455, which probably has more torque at 900...
Maybe if you are lucky, she'll let you ride shotgun. That is AWE......SOME.
