cobraman Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 @Ray- Dare I say....Chevy LS powered? Like the one in a few Youtube videos. Chevy ? What are you smoking ? : ) Closer but no cigar.
The70judgeman Posted February 22, 2014 Posted February 22, 2014 @Ray- Not cigars........Turkish Gold's. Was kind of a joke about the Chevy power. But, I was figuring along the lines of the LS powered Jeep I mentioned. Any other clues? Obviously Ford power.......

No big secret or anything, just going to try and build a hot rod Jeep kind of like I saw in a Hot Rod magazine. Photo's of that one when I start the project in a week or so. Probably will put a small block Ford in it.
kingiguana Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) After chatting with a friend I had not seen in a long time on Facebook, I found he had some kits lying around he didn't want. So I went over there today. Well, a $123.00 dollars later I came home with this. And a tote, full of parts. bodies, pieces, and misc stuff. Now its a matter of what I want to keep, and sorting the parts. Edited February 23, 2014 by kingiguana
Mack_Mechanic Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Went on a LHS/Hobby Lobby/ Michael's run yesterday,nothing groundbreaking....just adding to my already daunting "to-build list".
jrherald420 Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Should have waited, Michaels has a 50% off coupon this week.

ChrisBcritter Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Just got back from the DuPage show and managed not to buy any new projects. That said, I did score some stuff to apply to my current projects. For my '62 Impala convertible I found a very battered original AMT '62 Chevy hardtop for $5; poor thing looked like it was sat on and glued back together - but it had a front seat that didn't have seat belts glued to it; plus one of the taillight units wasn't glued. (If anyone else has a gluebomb '62 I'll have a few leftover bits - rechromeable front and rear bumpers, a salvageable dash and windshield, rear quarters that haven't had skirts glued to them and the taillight panel.) Another vendor had a mint set of wheelcovers with tires and wheel backs for $5, so it looks like I have all I need to finish it. For my '61 Ford wagon project I scored a pair of '58 T-birds for $5 each, which will provide the engine, drivetrain, front suspension and a few other bits. And for the '57 Fairlane 500 project I got a $3 '57 parts pile kit that will help in converting it to a four-door, plus the dark brown paint for the two-tone roof and sides. Another vendor had a boxful of tires for 25¢ each - got a full set of MPC Goodyear G70-15s for the '67 Chevy pickup. Anyone else there today? I had a brief chat with Bob Dahl of Bob's Paints. Nice guy and I'll be doing business with him soon. Edited February 23, 2014 by ChrisBcritter
mrindy77 Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 I garnered a medal for finishing the 2014 American Birkebeiner. 50K in 5 degree temps 16mph winds...in 7 hours.
lordairgtar Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Good job on the Birkie, Cal. In other news, I wish I could have gone to Dupage. I had to stay in West Allis and be at the World Of Wheels for our car club. Random meet up yesterday with Lou Gramm from Foreigner. Nice guy.
