Good to get it back on the road again. I started following on the dogelac, your video let's build a rat rod was very inspiring to me. Now I'm driving my 1st build the 39 chevy named Valda. I'm currently working on my 2nd build a 1960 vw bug on a lifted 4x4 toyota chassis. Thanks for your inspiration and know that I am so blessed to share all this with my grandkids 😁👍

I did the math, and I've been watching since early 2011. You had built this truck by then. But, the first videos I watched were the progress of this truck being built. I was fresh out of high school and used to watch over breakfast as a freshman in college. Somewhere I have a burned disc with an animation project (that had you in the credits at the end) because I used the engine sounds of this old truck running down the road in it, probably in 2012.

Small block fords are being used more and more as the SBC supply dwindles, but SBFs will never match GM in the numbers produced. A common jab I hear is a chevy guy telling a ford guy that his chevy parts are much cheaper and more plentiful, to which the ford guy replies maybe, but i have to build my Ford only once !

Then welded a 1/4 inch round stock on the bolt head, 2 1/4 " nuts on each upright, all on 2 inverted angle irons for the stand ... and "VIOLA" ... ... I made a "TRUING STAND" Yea, EVERYBODY luvs the "ROCK-A- BELLY" and her ride. Still❗My favorite is the "DOGELAC" and SPRING is here. That car "RUNS" like my '69 Cobra Jet MUSTANG 428 w/4 speed.
