I'm only 22 and in college. But then I am also one of those who just hangs around more often than I post.

Hey Downey b I'm from Emporia. I just bought a 96 town and country with a 3.3 rod hangin out the side. That is a fun project. It took all weekend at the shop with the lift and help.

OK. I know these are way over due and I'm sorry about that. As you can tell by the pics, time is at a premium around here, otherwise we wouldn't be working under these conditions.

In the rain, Matthias uses the leaf blower to blow dry the chassis for paint. Under the tarp, is the Night Moose, it's Red colored 6.9 on a trailer, and a real damp mess. The 300 streight six (for sale!) is on the ground in front.

Heck there is hardly enough light to take pictures. The frame is primered and Matthias is "inside" with a paint brush.

I was certainly proud of the job he was doing under less than ideal conditions. The cab sports it's 2" body lift.

The new heart eagerly awaits its implant into the flairside F-150.


AT about 2:35pm today, we started the engine. Of course pics are behind schedule at this point since today is another crappy weather day with rain. We put the engine in last weekend. These pics are about 4 weeks old at this point. Another update tomorrow if your lucky.

Oh and I forgot to mention.....

I built up the DMF into a Lucky Mod, and even turned the flywheel on my lathe. That was the first time I had ever tried doing that, and found out a lot about flywheels in the process. I have several around and found that some of the plates were distressed by heat and had hard spots on them that wouldn't machine. No wonder they usually grind them to do this job. It's dirty in the picture because I coated it with oil to keep it from rusting while the weeks past by. Laquer thinner made it nice and shiny just before we installed it and the new clutch disc, presure plate, and throw out bearing. EZ's old ZF was then bolted up, and the whole assembly craned into the engine bay.

Tell me about it. As for the paint, yes it IS "IH Red". Says so right on the can.

Matthias and Mel...........It's looking good. It sucks working out in the weather, but it has to be done sometimes. Not to sound like a kook, but it's nice to see a young kid working hard for something. Too many adults and kids alike are afraid of a little hard work.

Keep us posted.
