No fear in hanging out with us. Most of us have had several "hold my beer and watch this" moments.

Three rules was the appeal. After years of working in the grey area of the rule books, it was...

They were fun. The '68 shown was classified as an open mind. The rules were few, three mater of fact. 1. Driver had to wear a helmet, 2. Had to have a functional seat belt, and 3. Have a...

Thank you Sir.

As a continuation to the engine balance conversation. Here are a few photos of some of the demolition derby cars that I had put together. The engines were set up to be loose so...

The Jeep was delivered home this evening. The owner was happy with his ride quality, now that the rear spring hanger bushings aren't moving around within the frame.

Some people's children. 8 ounces won't do a thing.

We slapped together a 355c.i. for a State Champion race. For whatever reason we had one 305c.i. right side head made up, and one 327c.i....

I'm game for a road trip. It's been a long time since I had to be delicate in installing a body, in order to not disturb the paint.

I helped a neighbor once install a 455 Olds into a 442 W-30. ...

No ice. Half and half for good measure. Next will be to start back on the garage extension, then wagon floor.

Today, the Wrangler is done. Spent the day polishing up the loose ends and fogging up the final paint. I'm happy with the final product. The long suffering Misses and I took it for a spin to town...

Today it was too windy for outdoor welding, so I brought in some parts to fix. The skid plate/crossmember needed the self tapping screw holes filled, and the center mount holes repaired. Then it...

A 3M dust mask with the replaceable filters. My prescription glasses sit on top of the nose piece alright, but does move the byfocal up a bit. It just takes some getting used to.

Today, the...

In between putting the turkey and ham in the oven, I did get a bit more paint removed on the frame. There was a lot of scale on the driver's side shock tower. It all came out fairly clean. The...

Thank you guys. Maybe I can keep the momentum rolling on my own project.... After at least getting the roof done on the garage extension.

Ran out of daylight for today. I did get the driver's side frame all welded up and reinforced. Then repaired the rear crossmember using some 1/4" cold rolled. This should add a bit of strength to...

If you want to see real skills, Google the grand willys project. Gojeep is a true Craftsman.

The weather was too nice to stay at work today, so I decided time was better spent on the heep...

I know the feeling on my own projects. I took on this one for a retired gentleman that had been turned away from everyone that looked at it. He was in fear that he would have to scrap it. I like...

The rig isn't in too bad of condition, but there was a design flaw that carries on to this day. The frames do not have any real drainage holes. This frame was packed full of mud in the areas of rot.

Day 1. Pull the fuel tank and check the inner frame and crossmembers. Pull the front bumper off, and check out the front frame rails. The passenger side was damaged, and the driver's side was soft...

There is no wonder to why don't get anything finished. I have taken on yet another Heep project. This one should be a fairly quick turnaround, but who am I fooling. At least it runs, drives, and...
