Just want to share a little about myself, I'm not just some crazy old biker, just crazy. ;D lol... I restore old cars and trucks from the ground-up and also do custom paint jobs. Here's a paint job that I did last month for a friend......  Here's a truck that I'm currently building for my wife, it has a 350 horsepower ZZ-3 under the hood (crate motor from GM Performance) with a 4-L60 tranny built to the hilt, my wife installed the engine herself!! ;D I do 100% of the work including paint, body, engine, suspension and brakes, and anything else that I forgot to mention.  .......    Lastly, here's my family car, we drive it everywhere. My daughters boyfriend helped me install the polished stainless steel indepedent front suspension on it....   |

NICE! Your family car is super, awesome car. Nice job on the blue flames too!
That's neat that your wife is into doing this kind of stuff with you. I spent lots
of hours under the hoods of cars in my younger days too. Always enjoyed it,
never minded the grease.

bikerrandy,
Love those "Builds". I always wanted to restore an older 32 Ford or something like that, but have never had the money to do so. Since my thinking some years ago, I've gotten into rocks, and that's taken over my passion. Still, whenever I go to any Car Shows, I dream of owning one some day. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Steve

Almost forgot, the green truck in my signature was rolled last year, I'm currently restoring it as well. Here's what it looks like so far......  |

Who rolled it- YOU? Man Between you and Doc I want to keep my 86 1 ton! the wife told me to keep it but when I told her about the motor mods I wanted to do (as suggested by Doc) she gives me this- "can't you leave well enough alone?" Well the Chevy is official Not for sale this winter- I'll make the decision next spring as to keep it or sell it_

Randy,
What kind of camera are you using?
It has a very clean image raster!

The camera is a Sony, I got it at the Navy exchange two years ago.
stefan- My daughter was driving, I was a passenger. I took off my seatbelt to slide over and attempt to regain control, if I hadn't we would have hit another truck head-on. I went through the windshield, the helicopter ride was $6k, I wish I could remember it! lol....The Navy paid the bill. I rebuilt it using two more trucks, now I have to repaint when I get some time.
