    The build of the truck is way cool. The build of the liner is insane. I looked at many of the photos and read the info on Landracing.com and it is amazing. Much more interesting than the "re"-build of the Thompson liner. Now just get Holly Martin to run some photos of the "future" and not of the past...

    Would be awesome to have Holly actually want to do something with the car! Hopefully we'll have it out there soon! Was at the GNRS last weekend and saw lots of fellow HAMBers and had a great time. Alex and myself picked the AMBR we thought should win by looking at all the details and layout of the cars. Proud to say we are 3 for 3 in picking the winners!

    It made a trip to Texas and back a month or two ago at 75 with the air on. Brad told me a few funny stories about the trip, sounds like a good time.

    You mean something cooler than pinstriping at Disneyland and selling your paint box to them?

    Literally made an account just to come say thanks to Brad for making this thread, as it's helped me with my first subframe graft/chassis build immensely and taken the stress out of it. Brad also reached out to me on Facebook and offered some advice as well. Stand up guy. Thanks Brad. I've thoroughly enjoyed your build.

    BUMPING THIS UP. I really like this truck and the way it was built. Needs to be seen again.

    hotrod 49 hasn't been on in a few years
     
  28. Like many he has moved on to greener pastures. He is busy with a podcast and still playing with hotrods. Just not here.

    Hey, I'm back!! As you all know, stuff in life happens and we move on to other projects and that includes me. I was done with the truck for awhile, working on the streamliner, doing the Round Six Podcast (www.roundsixpod.com) and even decided to try developing a TV show. History and Discovery didn't share my vision (I actually got my feets in those doors!) because they wanted the drama of Jerry Springer with the poorly written script of ANY "reality" series out there. I want to film more episodes of "Stories N' Steel" (on YouTube at the moment) and even do more podcasts but every bit of it has been on us. We haven't made a dime and have done every bit of it (with some help from Roger Hickey of Trailer tug) out of our own pockets! I decided instead of being frustrated, I needed to get my head back in the game! I've done some stuff to truck (right?!) and now I'm back hot and heavy on the Streamliner. I've taken photos of truck stuff I've done, now I just need to load them in Photobucket and write the descriptions. Stay tuned for more STUFF!
