has anyone made the trip from the east coast? not via airline?

Will there be an 8th annual? I swear one year I am going to drive coast to coast just for the BBQ.

I like that intake!!

Wow. That's some serious power. I'm not going too radical but gonna have something fun. I already did a complete frame off one ton for my dad. Now gonna have a little toy daily driver. Does anyone else make a head? I haven't seen one.

So let's pose another question. While I im getting the head just because I like the look and I haven't seen another 230 head. Let's talk intake. Edgy or Offenhauser?

I asked what his mild grind was.. I will let you know.

Got a call. Sweet

Trying to become one . Love his stuff! Are you happy with it and what do you have?

Tried both. wasn't sure if any of you we're buds.

Hey gents. Anyone have a way to get ahold of Earl to order a head an intake? My motors at the machine shop and haven't gotten a call back from them.

yanked the engine out today. If anyone needs parts please let me know. I will start another thread just for ole red.

wow. been a very long time guys. Here is a picture of my dads truck. I completed it in March of this year before work sent me packing. I am now working on getting mine done.

me and pops have got to make it out. Would be amazing to bring both of our 48's but thats a LONG LONG LONG drive. What an amazing story it would be. I think we are going to fly in.

Got some more work done on the running boards today. welded nuts to the brackets and then welded the brackets to the running boards. I have more time in these running boards then I think anything else built for this truck.

Yea. Finally back home for a while. Got some serious work done lately. Here is the short list. Got ALL the chrome back from the chrome shop Door Handles and latches on New door glass back from the glass shop. Going to need a couple of parts to finish the door glass Bed wood and strips installed Bed on Tail gate on Working a spare tire solution need a new master cylinder, ours just doesn't work as I suspected. I rebuilt it but it just won't hold pressure. I hooked up a single MC I had laying around and it help pressure once I bled it. I will order one from Roberts this week. Ordering tail lights, brackets, and mirrors from him this week as well. Decided to just make my own running boards instead of trying to fix the broke joke ones I had. I just need to weld the new brackets I bent up to them and align them. I think I am going to send them off to power coat, haven't really decided. So here is a ton of pictures. The rear bed bracket on passenger side was waisted so I cut it out and welded in a new piece.

Very Red indeed. looks good. cant wait to see it all back together!

I will post some up. I have been away from the garage for a while. Update. Bed wood is done and bed is almost completed. Dad drove the truck not to long ago and I cant tell you how awesome it was to see that smile. We are in the final stretch, waiting on door handles from chrome. Im makine a new windshield center post amont other things. Ill post up some pictures this evening.

Dear Gents! Having some starter problems. First is started with the stomp lever would stick to the switch and then draw a ton of amps until physically disconnected it. That seemed to fix its self. Well it happened again and I didn't catch it on my way to the office until I got there. I man handled it off the switch but it KILLED my battery. Any ideas? And any tips on removing this SOB or it just slow and steady and a lot of cursing? James

if its turning over but wont start make sure you have 6V (assuming you are still 6V +G) at the coil and make sure you have a negative wire to the rotor. then pull a plug and check for spark. if you have spark then you need to check for fuel. I always start engines with a little starter fluid/carb cleaner and keep them running till the fuel pump takes over. Just some suggestions. Hope you get her running!

Got a question from my pops I can not answer. Does anyone have any refrence or pictures of what outside windsheild center post. He says there are no clips or anything to screw it on from the inside. Any ideas? James

Got a message about my powder coat set up. I literally have a electric oven I found on craigslist for free. I ran a 220 outlet to it. I have the hypersmooth 02 DPW and I got my powders from Columbia Coatings and Coatings365. Its a very middle of the road set up but works very well and I use it way more then I planned!

some of it I have powerdercoated myself. I got a free oven off craigslist and coat the small stuff. everything else was done by Vanwinn in Suffolk. Great guys. After blasting the frame they found some spots rusted through and ate up. They sent me pictures and asked me if I wanted to fix them first (which I did). The little stuff I would recommend J&J in Va Bch. I had them do some medium size stuff before I bought my set up and they did great work as well. James Look forward to meeting you.

I would but it will be some time before I could get them. currently away from home for an extended period of time.

assuming this is also true for the cowl vent seal??
