Quote from: "kb426"Matt, was that truck in the Wichita show?

I don't think so. The Starbird Devlin one that was like last weekend? I was suprised to see all guys present at the shop with that one going on, but I guess they were saving their efforts for this one. I missed too much shop news this week already :? but I think I'm going to be shaving gas tank cover bolts on the '33 tomorrow

Matt, that show was last month. On the first page of carnut's pics, there is a blue and white truck that I thought was one from your shop.

Well slap me for not paying attention

Who all took the pics? I scoped the thumbs.

Yes, thats the truck :!:

A shame that its not more of a technological marvel, but it does have charisma.

I didn't have much to do with that one but man... there sure is a lot of nice

pics of the green and white 30 Ford (I called it a '31, sign says 30

) wearing my filler bath from a few years ago. Wonder if either of them did any good on awards?

This one?

George to the rescue.

Yes thats the one. I tore it down, installed a fabbed bed floor and may have lent a hand here and there on the bodywork.

Gary sez that truck got "best late truck" and the little green all steel roadster from Bentonville got "best hot rod"!

Glad some of you have had a chance to eyeball our deeds firsthand.

I will close my pic dumping spree for today with this delicious and nutritious appetizer shot of the dreaded cross brace crud, fresh from the vomitorium

...and refrain from any Bob Seger references for the time being.

Just when you think it's safe.

I'm either optimistic or stupid. I moved the snow blower to storage this afternoon. It has been warmer than usual and I'm ready to get back to work.

Yesterday I ordered a mess of parts so I can get a bunch done before needing to spend more money.

I spent some time looking at pics from Detroit. I wish I would have gone. Amazing craftsmanship!

I set up a youtube account so that I can post a link to a video. This is probably not a big deal to most of you but it was something I wanted, and I have put off for a long time. It was actually really easy. I still fight technology but I really enjoy it once I have it going my way.

Recently I got off on another side track and I built something that has been on my mind for a long time. I have always had a fascination with wind powered whirligigs. If you have stopped at my place, you already know that I have one big one in my back yard. I have built a couple more and even more are in the works. Here is a link to one of the latest,

This will be the test of the youtube account.
