Nice Aaron. Are you guys going to do the wood work? If so, could you show some progress shot if time allows.

Geo, we are just doing the body and paint work on the wagon. But I will do my best to get photos of it as we progress. It's going back to it's owner so they can put it on the frame and and run all the lines and plumb it. This will give the primer time cure.
Thanks Hugh.
Thanks David.
So stable and powerful shots, Aaron
Thank you Shinpachi.

Sorry Jan, this car is already done. We are just repairing the deer damage.
Oh, and these shots were taken with the new camera using my 50mm lens.

I was going to ask if you used your new camera, nice shots. I guess that deer saw red, the owner really should dump those rims. Just out of curiosity have you ever done a 63 Impala SS?

No Merv, we haven't. That's not to say we won't though. And Geo, the wood on the 53 wagon is painted. They got away from using wood in the 50s for some reason. Sorry I didn't catch that the first time around.

I love the old Camaro, but I like them better with the stock wheels.

I've gotten use to the rims. We've got a similar set on the Chevelle. The Camaro is set up for road course racing like the Chevelle.

Some of you may have seen a photo of this truck here and there on my FB page. A little over three years ago, a friend of mine purchased this truck from up in New York state. It was a tractor with a fifth wheel plate orginally and had a 361 cubic inch gas engine with a four speed and a Eaton two speed rear axle. The axle was geared high range 6.34:1, low range 7.82:1. After two years of work it now has a Cummins 12 valve P-pump diesel with an Allison 5 speed automatic. Both axles have been change and came from the bus that donated the engine. The rear axle sits on the factory air bags from the bus. Oh, and the tires and new brakes were also from the bus. The wheel base is stock at 89 inches. The bed is hand made, and weighs in at just over one ton. The brakes are air operated and also donated by the bus. Full of fuel the truck weighs in at 10,240 lbs. It's first maiden trip was to Chryslers at Carlile and it towed a 1969 Mod Top Barracuda up there getting 14.5 mpg and got the Celebrity Choice award. Not bad.

Thank you Shinpachi and Wayne. I had a small hand in helping rebuild it.

That's a cool truck, and considering the weight, the fuel economy is pretty darn good.
Nice shots of it, Aaron.

Thank you Eric. He drives the truck everywhere and it turns heads everywhere it goes.
