    So here we are after Donny played with it a few hours today. I was only able to stop by for a few mins before work tonight. But it looks like he got the body ready to be channled. He was getting ready to weld the pass side 1x1 in when I was leaving. He also told me that he had found a 80's chevy pick up that would be a good donor car. I think it was 400 bucks for it, and it runs and drives fine he said. I would pull the parts I need and sell off the rest of the stuff I don't need. So maybe on Saturday we will go pick that up....






    Yeah the Broadway Title stuff is a no go in MN, so I am just going to do it the old fashion...Lie to the DMV and tell them it's a kit car!

    So today who worked on the front axle. What a huge PITA it was to take the large bolts out. We tryed to press them, but that was a big no way. So I spent almost 2 hours drilling them out. We got most of the brake parts off ok. Depending on the price of parts, we may use drums in the front....?

    So Donny's kid found out that one of his buddies has a 60's chevy truck with a old Nail head motor. Yeah I know, who the hell would do that swap into a work truck..... But it runs and drives I was told....and the price is FREE!!!! So we can go wrong with that one. I hope it works out.

    On to the pic's
