Many thanks! It’s been a blast, but there’s still a ton to do. I actually got to take the kids to and from school in it late last week, and my little guy’s (5) face was priceless. He could barely reach the window, even in his booster seat, but he had his arm up and was leaned out and cruising...

Had a bit of an emotional, but awesome day today. After 12 years of my car not being licensed for streets, I was successful in getting her licensed and driving around. My lovely lady rode shotgun and snapped some pictures of me enjoying my old toy. Mom (original owner) of course had to provide a...

Many thanks gents! Hopefully I can get it licensed soon and start hitting some of the cruise nights. I’m just wondering how much flak my ugly duckling is going to bring when I finally start taking her to shows and such. Lol

Completely forgot to mention in my last post, I also managed to get the AC configured and working in the car. So now the car that never had AC, now has REALLY COLD AC. It was a bit of a task, but I was able to use the AC compressor that came stock to the powerstroke, and wire/plumb it to the...

Been a few months since I last posted, but still making progress. There’s still a bit left to go before she’s ready to be licensed, but between the first drive and now, I’ve made a few mods. The biggest one(s) were that I dove back into the suspension/steering and modified the upper/lower...

Oh man, I can’t touch the sentiment that others have expressed, but this hurts to hear. Scott helped me a ton with my build, most recently helping me to source A-pillar trim. He was a walking encyclopedia of part numbers, knowledge, and interchangeability, and he’d go WELL out of his way just to...

Absolutely, thank you for your support!

Prepping to ship care packages to my fiancée in Kuwait. Only a couple of months until she’s home!

Haha thank you much! They’re definitely hooked. Crash (my little man) was all about it. He was playing with his cars the rest of the night and all day today, and anytime I stepped outside he came running after me to see if I’d take him for a ride. Looks like I need to focus on getting her fully...

Unfortunately mom didn’t make it out (health issues), but I did get to take the minions for a spin last night. They’ve already asked if we can take it out this morning.

Haha they are? I didn’t realize that was a thing for plebes like me. I figured only important people had that ability.

It's still a big block. Just a high compression turbocharged one. :lol: One of my neighbors has a '66 Galaxy 500, and he snapped his head pretty quick when I drove past. He looked thoroughly confused.

Thanks man! It's been a lot of years coming. She'll be an ugly duckling for a while, while I shake out the bugs, but it'll still be a blast. Not going to lie, it's kind of an odd car to drive just because of how smooth it is for the power and suspension performance. Normally for decent...

lol thank you much, it's been 11 years since I drove her. My mom (original owner) and dad are coming out for the weekend, and I'm going to surprise her with a ride. lol Thanks Man! If my neighbors were wondering what I was building for the last decade, they were well introduced last night.

Well she's alive! First test drive was last night, and she's a runner. Funny story but that 7.3 doesn't have a care in the world that the rearend has LSD.... lol

Nothing too exciting, but proof that she’s running. Lol forgive the kiddos whooping in the background, they were crazy excited to hear it come back to life.

Managed to get it started after painting and putting it back in. I’ve got video of it running but I’ll have to upload those a little later.

haha 10-4 brother. You'd be amazed at how quickly the off road world gets ticked off when you question their fab or design. Coming from that world, I learned that the word "custom" just means someone threw a bunch of steel at something and hacked it all together with a bunch of goose-poop welds...

Just saw this, and not sure how I missed it. Look at that beauty. That thing is gorgeous, and man what a fun build it'll be! With regards to the resto-mod, along with the different comments/questions others have shared, there are a few questions I'd recommend that you ask yourself (if you've...

Thank you much sir! It's frustrating how slow the build is, but it'll get there. I just hope to bring a little bit of glory to our gorgeous C-body boats. She definitely won't be a numbers matching build (obviously), but hopefully it shines some sort of light on exactly how cool these beasts...
