Thanks guys, I'm gettin close to breakin this thing down and get it to my buddys place for body work and primer and then to the woodworker. I did get the gas tanks mounted that my nephew made out of stainless and hold alittle over 13 gallons each so long drivers will be easy untill I have to...

Welded the roof on and got it ground down and raised the visor a couple of inches so I can make the winsheild a little taller and also got the power window kit installed and I put some sheet metal on the rear hatch and tailgate.

Got the windows for the sides made and put in and also made the hatch with some temp hinges to see what it looked like with it up.

Fired the motor yesterday to hear how loud it is and it ain't to bad so it should be good with some baffles. Had this in my head for a while so yesterday I started on the Teardrop trailer for the Woody, it's going to have wood on it to match the Woody. Hopefully I can get some windows in it and...

I like it man, I'm diggin the wheels and front axle.

Got a little more done to the Woody the last couple of days, used a column shift linkage from a 57 mercedes to work the the turbo 350 and it worked out great even has a switch for backup lights. Had a buddy come over today and we got the roof put together and tacked on.

I haven't been on here for a while, been real busy in the shop and if you get more done on your projects the the customers you don't have customers for long. I haven't started on the wood panels yet but I'm trying to get it to my woodworker in Jan and I'm runnin the old 2G's on the intake. I...

Yup, that's what I did. I plan on doin some long drives and the way I understand it is the tube will reduce plenum volume and increase low to mid range rpm drivability.

Finally got the tunnel ram welded and ground down, still needs some more to finish it but that's another day.

I got a lot of work to do to get it done but we're gona try, I've got a 30 model A truck I'm building for a buddy that's going to be his shop new shop truck I've got to get done also and he might come down with it to.

Thanks man. I gotta get busy and finish this by march, I'm plannig on driving it from Maryland to Myrtle Beach for 2 shows there.

Been a while sense I did much on the woody [summer was a one hot this year] so I gotta get back on it. I shortened the frame and turned the front frame rails down a little and I think I looks better. Changed out the corvair steering column and got the dodge in after a buddy repaired it for me...

I forgot that the column had been cut so we could get it from the car, it had been setting at the bottom of a valley for about 40 years and it didn't give it up easy but dia. is 3/4", hope that helps.

Go ahead man it wasn't my idea, I saw it on that pork site about a year ago and thought it was a great idea but some of the guys over there gave him a bad time abought it. I assume your talking about the chrysler colume that I posted pics of that I'm installing in it, I will count them tomorrow...

Got some time to work on the woody finally, been busy with work and life. Got my wheels powder coated and the new tires mounted but after I got the everything on I didn't care for the dics brakes showing so I cut the old backing plates to fit around the calipers and rolled some steel to look...
