Hi Steve,

Didn't mean to ignore you, I have just been driving my car for the last week :)

I haven't added up the reciepts, but I know I am over 3k. If I was to guess, close to 4k...but, I...

Not a lot to report on the chubby, I did have a little set back last week.

I think I had mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago that my $200 drivetrain (specificly the tranny) was giving me a...

Managed to get some work done on the chubby this week, mostly Friday and Saturday afternoon today.

I had my neighbor over Friday night giving me a hand with brake bleeding. I had to...

Don,

Any link or info on where to get a halogen conversion kit?

Thanks, Matt

Worked on the chubby today for about 7 hours. Pretty much all of that was wiring, so it doesn't look like I have done anything.

Quick question. I am using the stock 9" headlights. I...

Hi Don,

I had saw your post earlier in the thread about this subject. I wasn't ignoring you or anyone else...I guess I didn't want to get into a big debate about it either.

There are a...

Got a little done on the chubby today...or at least the exhaust guy got a little done.

The exhaust guy is about 60 miles away, I had to rent an enclosed car trailer because they were talking...

I would rather run a chain saw also :) Although the Pfaff isn't to bad and yes I am fairly used to it. My wife won't touch the thing....she has a smaller home unit she uses, but mine has a...

Wife took a pic of me sewing and last pic installed.

Got a little more done this weekend on the chubby. Lot of little stuff done, but took a few pics of the bigger stuff. I had some tinted glass installed in the windshield frame during the...

Nothing real special done tonight, but figured I better take a pic of what I did do. Finished my radiator overflow coolant bottle. I used an old cone top Grainbelt beer can. I cut the entire...

Figured I would take a few pics of a couple of the things I got done this weekend. Actually, most of Saturday was spent tearing apart that 1953 F100 axle. I had to remove the entire assembly...

Few more pics from a little of last Sunday's work and Monday nights work.

I managed to get those Victory motorcycle taillights cut into the back. For some motorcycle lights, they look pretty...

Few more photos of the wiring harness and taillights.

Got quite a bit done today...including getting the body back on! :) Got the doors hung and latching again. Figured I better roll it outside and get a few glamour shot just for fun. I think...

I got the body and the other parts sprayed on Wed. night. Had a little computer problem, so didn't get them posted until tonight.

Used the Case IH implement paint. Pretty much looks the same...

Well after a good couple 3 weeks of priming and sanding, and getting it pretty decent....I shot a couple coats of DP90LF last night. Looks pretty good, but if you stick your head up in it you may...

I have a box of receipts that I have been keeping, but I haven't added them up yet. If I had to guestimate, and I bet I'm close, I'm probably around $2000 to $2500 right now. I still need...

Been a couple weeks since I posted anything. I've been working almost daily on the body....pretty much spraying sandable primer and sanding it off. Body is looking really good, but I still...

What I refer to as a zip wheel is basiclly a 36 grit rol'oc disc on a 90 degree air grinder. Probably not a technical term, but a few of the local autobody guys around here also call it that.

I...

Few shots with the ureathane primer on....

Managed to get about another 8 hours on the chubby today. I spent the first part of the day doing a little more welding and grinding, and some more work with the hammer/dolly...just trying to get...

Put in a solid day today on the chubby. I had a buddy of mine that gave me a hand for about 6 hours.

Pics pretty much say it all. Majority of the day was spent grinding down the body...
