Minor update on the '53 F100. It now has a frame for the future flat bed, and some mudflaps. Everything here will be grimed up by the end.

Here's one I did long ago that is literally "Power by Ford" A Model A Ford power unit.

I've actually seen one of those in action, powering a buzz saw. It was easily the third or fourth most terrifying thing I've ever seen. ? And one of the coolest.

These things were everywhere around here when I was a kid, pretty much everyone had one. We had one that dad cut firewood with, the neighbor had one mounted on the back of an old 39 Chevy. My father is rebuilding a Model T one right now. They definitely look terrifying by today's standards, you definitely want to be careful and not get distracted when it's going. I can still hear dad saying, NO LOOSE CLOTHING, BUTTON YOUR SLEEVES & TUCK IN YOUR SHIRT!

Here's another setup I'd like to recreate.

[Chuck Most]

Started messing with the stake bed. The sides are sections from some Plastruct fencing. Not sure yet if I'm going with a wood or diamond plate floor.

[Chuck Most]

I think I mostly have the F100 flat bed dialed in. I also made up a bumper and used Jeep fog lights as taillights. The bed planks are actual strips of craft basswood.

Next time you see the '53 it'll be in Light Commercial Under Glass. ?

[rattle can man]

I'll eventually jump in with a Ford in a Chevy. Maybe a Vette.

[Chuck Most]

Dug out another 4.6 Cobra V8. Not sure what it's going into but it's going into something...

[Chuck Most]

The Cobra V8 has met it's recipient...

[mchook]

Here's my Model A Ford powered trike I'm working on.

[Chuck Most]

It's getting there. I'm split as to whether or not I want to run a hood. I suppose I could just photograph it both ways once it's done. ?

[rattle can man]

I found my subject. now to get to work. hopefully an easy, post-surgery build.

Threw me off for a second there. I'm like what?!! Then I read the text that you blew up for folks like me. ?

Dug out a project that stalled out some time back. '55 Chevrolet 3100 with front and rear axles from a '72 Jimmy.

Since I had a 351 Windsor I ended up not using in another project, I figured now's the time.

[Chuck Most]

The Windsor is pretty nicely settled into the '55. I also put some Ford V8 emblems on the fenders, from the AMT Sunoco '34 Ford kit.
