The post whore thread.

Looks like we might be getting a tig at our shop soon, and having someone teaching us how to do it. If that shit happens, I'd be happy to share the info with ya.

Hell yea bro!!!!

I'd probably pull the mast off though. There is a duce and a half as well, but it's got a back hoe installed.

Don't wreck a wrecker, man. That is part of what makes it cool in the first place.

Speaking of talented body resto guys, we should all bribe timelement with some beer for some lessons. That dude is 50% artist 50% genius when it comes to building.

It looks like it used to be an ice delivery truck, so I'm sure it wasn't original to begin with.

Thanks OBC!

I'm using my monokote heat gun because I dont want to burn through it and Chevy paint jobs blow! Its not too bad when its above 30? out, today helped a lot. Only have the passenger side left then I have to go back and get rid on the adhesive spots which are all grey on a white van so that make it easy to spot. Between the vinyl off and the adhesive remover it's been easy but still a PIA.


Gk that's not even a question, 5k for a 32 even if it's a kit is a crazy smoking deal.

It's real steel, with radiator and grill, fairly straight original Az vehicle.

The issue is i'm think, do i buy or keep $$ for shop and related items. Not should i buy and try flipping to a CO resident. Because i know for what it is, it's an easy $7k ride (as is ) up there.

I’ve got the hankering for a classic car recently. ‘65 Mustang or ‘69 Camaro sort of thing. But then my wife just convinced me to put some of my cash into a CD, so I’m less likely to make a bad impulsive buy. I also threw some into LendingClub and Fundrise, more as an experiment than anything. But I still want some old American muscle.

Purchasing old vehicles for restoration really is a tricky proposition. There's a lot involved with value/potential/expense/time/money/assets....and what level do you want the car to be when it's finished?

This one.

There's an emerging market for resto buyers who have been building the work trucks from that era. . have 1-2 rat rod resto boys down in weld cty, might have an interest
You might be surprised what that boom is worth. To of all people some local boys who jeu know, peek up cars for almost free, amigo.

A nice daily driver, not a show car. But not frustratingly unreliable either.

And yeah, leave the mast/boom thing.

I figure with no bed, and that super deep engine compartment, it could hold hella batteries.

More like 60% artist, 60% genius!
