Made some progress today on the first front wheel drive #strictlystock race car build for Potomac Speedway. Back in like 2006 I brought the first Lincoln #MarkVIII to the track, and now the class is half Lincolns. If… instagram.com/p/B-V00T1jB4A/…
There. Now you don't have to drive to DC and risk spreading the virus. You're welcome.

We gave Arnold Goatzenegger and Dwayne "The Buck" Johnson to close friends a few months ago, but with all the doom and gloom in the world right now, a visit with them yesterday was just what I needed... instagram.com/p/B91LwyvFWKQ/…
Strip away all the politics and infighting, and DC can be a beautiful place!
No touchups, edits, or filters. Just a few raw Galaxy S10+ shots from the Lincoln Memorial this morning... @ Lincoln Memorial instagram.com/p/B9F7_ZdjL2D/…
It turns out that there are six catalytic converters on a '98 Mustang GT, not four. I cut them out earlier today, after further efforts to get the fuel pump working failed. The engine seems to run fine on spray, so… instagram.com/p/B8czktmF6SA/…
When a wrecked but complete 4.6L V8/5 Speed 1998 #mustanggt drops from $1200 to $400 on FB Marketplace, you buy it. It might be an hour and a half away, it might be raining, and, when you arrive, it might not start… instagram.com/p/B8bWj5QFQOg/…
Well, 7.5" is better than nothing!

Josh and I set up four 1" square tubes with 3/4" square tubes slid snugly into them. We tied them to the dash and… instagram.com/p/B8ILAkQFJxM/…
The $100 donor #Chevy sheetmetal for #ClydeTheRampTruck got the vital areas dusted off this afternoon by Kurt Eberwein of Southern Maryland Sandblasting, before I cut them out this evening. Josh and I will be… instagram.com/p/B8FmSSpFFGG/…
The big 7.3L #Ford #powerstroke #turbodiesel is eating up valuable legroom in the tight confines of #ClydeTheRampTruck. Whether we do it now or later, we are gonna want to stretch the cab a little bit to get that… instagram.com/p/B790XDhF4kE/…

Josh, Don, and I swapped the #Ford #F550 floor into #ClydeTheRampTruck's '57 #Chevy cab today. It took plenty of cutting and welding, but the Chevy floor was too high in the front, and we are using the Ford seat… instagram.com/p/B7hldB0FgR3/…
#ClydeTheRampTruck's cab mounts are fabbed! I cut off and reused the #F550 rear cab mounts by shortening them, raising them up, and moving them forward, then welding them back on. It's just sitting on them for now,… instagram.com/p/B7SGqrTlynk/…
Don and I made a little more progress today on #ClydeTheRampTruck. We have the '57 #Chevy cab sitting down over the #F550 chassis, and the Ford firewall trimmed to fit. Now begins the tedious process of fabbing cab… instagram.com/p/B7Pc4_fFMGh/…
Solo garage day, trimming the #F550 firewall to fit the 1957 Chevy cab for #ClydeTheRampTruck.

Whittling the firewall out of the #SuperDuty cab would have been much easier if I wasn't trying to keep the front cab mounts. Don and I spent the holiday yesterday pulling the dash and wiring, and then cutting out… instagram.com/p/B61ZcDilkT4/…
Thanks to your efforts, the #SpiritofLemons #airplane #racecar is now the #Hooniverse #CarOfTheDecade!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Progress continues slowly but surely on #ClydeTheRampTruck. When I bought the 1957 Chevy 6500 as a cab donor for a very reasonable $1500, my goal was to part out the rest and recoup the purchase… instagram.com/p/B6yWZy6F6G0/…
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!
We had a lovely few days in the Blue Ridge Mountains, enjoying the Peaks of Otter Sharp Top Trail, the Virginia Museum of Transportation, the Black Dog Salvage store, and more. Perfect… instagram.com/p/B6gCWKKllb2/…
