Hello from Northern Ca
Would like to introduce my self befor I introduce you to my project.
My name is Jeremiah and I have been a car nut for as long as I can remember. My son is definatly following in my foot steps and his love for hot rods is pretty extreme. He just got in trouble in school for drawing hot rods in class. He is 9. We always have a great project laying around. Here is a short list of car we have had in the last few years.
1964 Cadillac coupe Devile
1963 Tempest Lemans
1929 Sedan
1974 Suburban shaved, slammed and prostreeted.
a bunch of motorcycles and our current project is a 28 willys whippet sedan chopped, shortened, and made into a 5 window extended cab truck.
I will post some progress photos in the general forums, oh yeah I almost forgot to mention the Willys is powered by a blown 1991 BMW V12 from an 850I, here is a sneak peek at the motor.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Welcome V12Junkie,
That will be an awesome truck. We all would like to see more pics of the build and I would love to see more pics of the shop. It always amazes me how everybody else's shop is so much cleaner than mine; oh for just another 10' of shop space.

I've had a lot of BIG things happening to me lately but now I'm back to working on the car some, it feels good! The tranny mount was bad and that helped put everything back where it should be....
