    Well now that we've settled in for a few months I though I'd up a few pictures. We're still trying to get everything organized.


    Here's what is going to be our shop truck. Plans call for a 283, T-5, 9 inch and paint. It's a pretty striaght truck.

    Henry watches over us while we work. Next to the nicest 35 grill I've ever seen

    My roadster. I'm working on a new chassis for it now.

    Juice brake backing plates, I was just looking for some for my roadster and went crazy. I just kept buying every one a saw. This is only searching for a couple months

    I finally found a 51 hood for my 50 ford, now all I need is the top grill piece

    The extent of me working on my other chassis for my roadster, We put a small kick in the rear last weekend

    This is pretty much the most bad ass welder I've ever used. It sprays, no spatter

    My wire wheel truing stand, I spend countless hours looking at those dial indicators

    It's cool to see those wires lined up. Reminds me of my First love, notice the wheels? I got them about ten years ago...
