Good to see ya back on this, even if it's just for a minute. Lookin good man.

I really need to get a decent computer, lap or desk top. That made a huge difference. Thanks for touching it up.

Maybe this. If it weren't for the back of my pick up.

Kinda like this.

I agree. I like when somebody does something out of the box. They built what they wanted. I know the guys in the shop are proud of it. But, there are a few that they have built that I really like. The Cummins powered rat rod is out of control. Their wrecker is way cool. But this particular car, I'm not diggin it very much.

Welcome back. Congrats on the local drivin. I understand where your coming from on that. I haven't been drivin quite as long as you, but. Drivers understand.

I'd want to show up in this. A 2000 horse Pete limo.

The truck is just about done. The fog light lenses and a couple small things lef6. The trailer I need to get the decals on it, cleat it then this will be a wrap. Maybe a little bench tomorrow.

I was thinkin about that earlier today. 13 finished 4 in process

Nice work man. Good to see you 2 back on this.

I got a little bench time in today. I managed to get the glass put in. I also mounted the CB antennas.

Here's a better pic of this COE. The buddy I built it for, is moving and gave it back to me.

Edit**The Ca Hauler will get the spot lights on the cowl and center cab lights painted green. That's it.

Thanks guys. I'm not going make a few changes. The snap pete is gonna stretched, Moebius rims and tires, different visor made and stacks switched out. The COE will get striped and repainted the same way. The Ca Hauler will get cleaned and remain the same. But the trailer will get tore down, rebuilt and repainted. I will probably switch out the rims and tires for AMT Alcoas. Here they are, back at my place.

Yep. In-N-Out IS SoCal. Depending on what day your here Niko. You can also check out SoCal Speedshop. It's 10 or 15 minutes south of the track.

That old jeep is owned by a local. The trucks I seen at the truck stop. There are a few old International pickups scattered over the area too. I try to take pics when I can.

Another track lost to a land lease deal. Dam shame. My parents left me with a baby sitter to go to the last race there. My mom still has the final race poster framed in her house. I have the pictures of when they were there. Here's a fact some may or may not know. The Bob Bondurant driving school was founded there. It's kinda funny if you think about the old Fontana drag strip. They tore down to build the steel mills. Then, they tore down a steel mill to build the speedway.

Before I found out there's a HS in Baldwin Park. The only other good thing in that town is its home of In-N-Out Burger. Their teaching "University", shipping and maintance. The best part, on the other side of the freeway from all that is the original store #1.

It was military. This truck and the one next to it had the same thing on.

A couple more I saw while out today.

Saw this while sittin at a stop light today.

Well, 3rd time was the charm, barely. It has some bad orange peal, almost wrinkles in it, but not wrinkles. The mirrors seem a little off, but I cut the mounting pins off and they fit better.

Thanks man. That's funny. Don't let that brown-purple-red disaster get you down man. You do great work.

I built 3 trucks for a buddy. Not paid to do it, just out of the kindness of my heart. He asked and I did. Well he's movin, from Ca to Texas. He doesn't want to chance breaking them. He doesn't want to sell them. So he decided to give them to me. I did do under glass threads, so I'll post a pic of each to show which. The 1st is a Revell snap Pete. Box stock except for the Rhino stacks and scratch visor. Next is a AMT Freightliner DD. Stretched, scratch stainless bumper, Revell rear light bar, Italeri front tires on kit rims. Lastly, AMT Ca Hauler and Fruehauf beaded trailer. All box stock except for the scratch visor and DR Merc sleeper. I'm sad to my friend leave. But I'm happy to get a couple builds that I really liked. Now I have another reason to go down to Texas.

Hopefully 3rd times the charm for this sunvisor. The paint keeps wrinkling. I used the same process as everything else. Some reason it wants to wrinkle.
