    Just getting started with a couple of pickups. Always loved these things. Got a 47 Chevy with the 46 body style. ALso bought a 46 Chevy with a 39 coupe front end. It is bagged. Just need the money to finish them both. Post pics of it later. The 47 has a 350 stroked to a 383. Did a lot of clean up on it. Had to have the tranny rebuilt. Added stall converter. Rebuilt back end including brakes. They did burn outs until whole drivetrain shot. Gets better every week. Sure takes time though.

    I found the build pics for the 39-46 combo on this site. Too good a deal to turn down. Should take some time even to get started on it. Be patient. I think it will be awesome.

    Thanks Duke.

    I am a computer geek. I build data warehouses for companies like IBM, BlueCross and Discovery Channel. Lost in all corporate politics. Want something mind numbing boring like sanding a fender. Could be happy not ever programming a computer again.

    Love pickups. Bought a crazy bagger and found the build pics on here. Hopefully can finish it someday. Just getting started. Always wanted to do this since I was a little kid. I will die a happy man if I get to do a few burn outs in my bagger. What else you want to know?

    You can walk across our lakes now. Getting close to 40 days in a row over 100. Brutal. Got to add AC to my truck before I can drive it.
