'38 Ford Pickup

I'm pretty pumped on the job! On my last day of school one of my teachers asked me if I had a summer job because her dad was looking for a mechanic for his shop, I had another job lined up to do carpentry work but this ended up being way more my speed.

That makes it sound worse. I miss my old Mercedes diesel all brown grounds. But then you have the joys of vacume leaks.

Old Dodges and Plymouths (40's) had a positive ground. In the last two days I've learned that almost every British car leaks oil and they can be really unreliable, I think I'm going to stick with American iron.

I've always had good luck with pre-1979 American cars and anything German.

i had a 63 mg migit. i kinda miss it once in a while, until i think about all the wiring problems, the rust, and the glass transmission. the engine bay did seem big enough to fit a small windsor in it though. hmmm.....

I had an old Triumph TR6 that had the straight 6 with dual stromberg side draft carbs. It was a little spitfire of a ride. I miss it at times but then I think of the three times it caught fire and how I felt when it burned to the ground.

A 351 powered midget does sound interesting though.

awesome build!

[bicycleguy]

Made a firewall out of 1/4" aluminum, also got the first new parts I've bought for this truck.

[bicycleguy]

Well, I sold my truck today.

Get an offer you couldn't refuse?

[outskirtscustoms]

Right when this build was getting good too.

Yep, I have a hard time saying "no" when someone puts a wad of cash in front of me.
