i am working on my ride for next years tour. i started it with my dad but just lost him on the 24th of may. he wanted a rat rod pickup truck. So i was at a freinds house that build my race motors. he had a 51 Dodge pickup it had no frame just cab doors front hood and fenders no bed. So the build is going to be a more modern set up a long bed std cab s-10 pickup with a 301 c.i. SBC(283 with a 327 crank) with a 700r4 trans and a/c(i will catch hell for that part) i am trying to build it all for under 3000.00 bucks i have a full shop with all the right stuff. just a matter of rounding up the parts i still need.
i am really looking forward to meeting you all i have wanted to do power tour since the first one. I know how to keep a loaded cooler around too ...... here is a pic of one of the cars i just finished it started as a pile of tubing

I'm thinking a Woodstock theme, Jim! You know peace, love and all that jazz.

You know I live in Woodstock GA, don't you. HAHA I thought I would research having a portable solar panel to charge a battery to run air conditioning while the van is sitting in the sun and I'm walking around the venue.
OH YEAH
Long haul 07. 08. 10, 11, and 13. Looking forward to 2014
Maybe this, I have a 383 on the stand and I would like to give it the Cherry Bomb Camaro paint scheme (satin black and red) with long red Cherry Bomb side exhausts. 2" drop in the front, and I have a set of old school centerlines for it. Visor shade and front spoiler. It will also have to serve as my tow vehicle for my race car.
