Stewart's Shop Truck

that tilt came out of a crane from carlisle construction. change the steering wheel and your in like flint...

man ol man you forgot the camera that is hard to believe... ha ha johnny and a camera now that is a good one.

Yep, it's a GM column, no shifter....You up now, got that intake, and can dig the column out for ya....call me...

Steve you are getting a little collection of unfinished projects,we are not getting any younger and they seem to take much longer to get togather these days. Hate to see you get burnt out with all you have to do,when I get the 66 back togather I am done for awhile and just want to drive them for a few years before taking on any more major projects. I thought the bronco would be finished by now but still have a little more to do and I was wanting to get the 66 togather before summer but might take longer so I dont get burnt out.

Jeff I'll be the first to admit that I don't need another project. There is a reason for us getting the truck. If not I would have never started another project. Another thing is I have always wanted one. I looked for a long time but everything I seen that I could afford was junk. This truck is not perfect but it's better than any of the others I have seen for that price. As for getting burned out? I won't. It's a hobby. It's what I do for fun. If it's not fun I won't do it. I have been wrenching on cars since I was 15 years old and never stopped. I enjoy it.

All my projects are starting to take a toll on my finances along with the high cost of gas and everything else,I thought selling the wagon would be more then enough to finish the 66 and bronco but that money is gone and need to look for more stuff to sell to keep going. I love doing what I do but the cost is no starting to make me think about downsizing what I have or stop getting more projects for a couple years so I can replenish my savings. I dont know how you are able to finance your projeccts but its starting to cause me some concern.

As far as projects/hot rods go.. They are never done no matter what. But my 27 will be running and road worthy before it leave the garage.. Just my 2 cents worth.

I like the truck and we needed it very bad. It still can't have my space in the garage yet.

Johnny and I moved the 27 up to his garage tonight....The shop truck already has it's first layer of bondo on it.

Whats the plans for the truck.

No set plans yet. I was only messing with Amy. The truck will be left sitting untill the 27 is running and moving under it's own power. The truck will need gone through and see what all has been done, if the stuff was done right or not. If not then whatever is wrong will come back off to be fixed right. Way too early in the project to know for sure what it will come out like for sure.

sounds like u may just have to sell it chep.

Good lookin truck. That will look good sittin beside the 27!

just dont chop that top

cool...

Maybe Amy would like a chrome grill for Valentines Day.

She would kill me. lol Maybe something chrome for the 27 but not the 54. I haven't been in the garage in over a week. Too cold and dealing with stuff with my youngest son. I have been in phone meetings for a week and one sit down in person with the school so far. He has been getting bullied and beat on for over a month and didn't tell anyone. All this seems crazy to me because I have tought all my kids self defence. Not just a few moves but ongoing stuff depending on their age and what I think they are ready for. My youngest wouldn't defend himself. I got it out of him and I called the school to let them know what's going on. Some kids have been kicking him between the legs, choking him out , he carries bruises on his legs from kicks and one kid gave him a black eye. I explained to him how he had the right to defend himself if this happened again. A few phone meetings with the school and I thought it was worked out. Well I get a call that he was suspended for 3 days for fighting. He was using the bathroom and a kid walked in and started beating on him. My boy had enough and whipped the boy. When the kid started hitting him he said it took him a minute to figure out what was going on but when he did he hit the other boy once in the gut and then 4 or 5 times in the face. jaw, cheek, bridge of the nose and one he missed and hit his forehead. Anyone that has been tought or raised in a fighting situation knows it's not good to hit a forehead. It's the hardest part of a human body. My son hit him so hard he bruised his knuckles. While I'm proud he stood up for himself we have to remember these kids are only 9, 10 and 11 years old. I put my foot down and pushed my weight on the school about not suspending him. We been going back and forth but as of right now my boy isn't in any trouble and is in his class doing his work. They have a 0 tolerance policy with fighting. I understand that but with everything that has went on I wasn't having it.
