Absolutely, thank you for your support!

Prepping to ship care packages to my fiancée in Kuwait. Only a couple of months until she’s home!

Haha thank you much! They’re definitely hooked. Crash (my little man) was all about it. He was playing with his cars the rest of the night and all day today, and anytime I stepped outside he came running after me to see if I’d take him for a ride. Looks like I need to focus on getting her fully...

Unfortunately mom didn’t make it out (health issues), but I did get to take the minions for a spin last night. They’ve already asked if we can take it out this morning.

Haha they are? I didn’t realize that was a thing for plebes like me. I figured only important people had that ability.

It's still a big block. Just a high compression turbocharged one. :lol: One of my neighbors has a '66 Galaxy 500, and he snapped his head pretty quick when I drove past. He looked thoroughly confused.

Thanks man! It's been a lot of years coming. She'll be an ugly duckling for a while, while I shake out the bugs, but it'll still be a blast. Not going to lie, it's kind of an odd car to drive just because of how smooth it is for the power and suspension performance. Normally for decent...

lol thank you much, it's been 11 years since I drove her. My mom (original owner) and dad are coming out for the weekend, and I'm going to surprise her with a ride. lol Thanks Man! If my neighbors were wondering what I was building for the last decade, they were well introduced last night.

Well she's alive! First test drive was last night, and she's a runner. Funny story but that 7.3 doesn't have a care in the world that the rearend has LSD.... lol

Nothing too exciting, but proof that she’s running. Lol forgive the kiddos whooping in the background, they were crazy excited to hear it come back to life.

Managed to get it started after painting and putting it back in. I’ve got video of it running but I’ll have to upload those a little later.

haha 10-4 brother. You'd be amazed at how quickly the off road world gets ticked off when you question their fab or design. Coming from that world, I learned that the word "custom" just means someone threw a bunch of steel at something and hacked it all together with a bunch of goose-poop welds...

Just saw this, and not sure how I missed it. Look at that beauty. That thing is gorgeous, and man what a fun build it'll be! With regards to the resto-mod, along with the different comments/questions others have shared, there are a few questions I'd recommend that you ask yourself (if you've...

Thank you much sir! It's frustrating how slow the build is, but it'll get there. I just hope to bring a little bit of glory to our gorgeous C-body boats. She definitely won't be a numbers matching build (obviously), but hopefully it shines some sort of light on exactly how cool these beasts...

Just a quick update to let y'all know I'm still alive, and the build is still alive as well. As with a ton of my previous posts, work has been outrageous for the last couple of years, and today marks day 664 that I've been overhauling a turbine or generator in some way at my plant. Not a whole...

lol eh, at that point I'd just drill a hole in the low spot like we used to do on our farm tractors. lol this old girl definitely won't be chasing hundredths of a second, and as difficult as it is to believe, EGT's in the exhaust manifolds dropped dramatically (100F or so) when I dumped the...

Ahh gotcha. No I won't be adjusting it. The goal was to get it as straight as possible, while still getting the relative side to side geometry that I needed. The issue is primarily around exhaust losses with the engine that's in it. The truck (donor vehicle) honestly could've used a 4" down pipe...

So the pictures are deceiving. The very last picture is where the car is sitting on the ground with the bags fully deflated. The pictures that are 3rd and 4th from the bottom are when the car is "standing" on air. When she's laying frame, the exhaust, trans pan, and oil pan have about 1/4" of...

Well it's been forever since I last posted, but the project is progressing, albeit slowly but surely. We just got out of a 15 month outage on one of my units, and we're headed into another outage for full turbine train overhaul here in a couple weeks. Hopefully I can give the old girl more...

Played a little bit more today and was able to start and complete the relay board that’ll allow the circuitry I built in the car to control the 7.3 ignition. It’s a lot bigger than the ignition switch from the truck, but after all was said and it bench tested as designed! Now just to fit it into...
