What are you up to?

savage wrote:Rip Didn't you have a 2nd gen Ford camper too??. You got rid of all your other projects, I remember some pics of some really cool old cars,trucks & wagons. How about some pics of Williams 4X4

2nd gen Ford camper went to my dad, he has been working on it in his spare time. He did remove the canvas and duplicate it in bright yellow... it looks good and he will be using it by spring.

Dad got several projects from me, but I did sell some nice ones.

Progress pics of Williams 4x4 coming soon.

Here is an aerial of dads place and the shop...

i spent the day repairing the batt box and acid drip damage on the 74, also got the motor fired up. See the "van page" on my web site for pics. Hoping for another sunny day next weekend so i can do some moe.

I don't see any pic's of that stump!!!!!!! What did you do, cover it up with gravel??????

Stayed home with sick little girl today, played cards and worked on 4x4 Econoline.

Covenants schmovenants!!! One reason not to live in the city!! Of course even the best of us get carried away and you end up with the earlier posted photo! That aerial was taken two years ago, since then we have sold/crushed close to 60 vehicles!

I do like what you can do with a yard in the southwest, lookin good Donivan!

So Don Why don't you just paint the ground green??? And then get Vanish with his big new truck to pull out stump (just kidding Vanish) As tall as that tree (bush) was bet roots are deep???

Houses are too close! When I was growing up in Stockton, CA we would run the length of our roof and jump into the neighbors pool.
My closest neighbor now is 700' from me (mom and dad).

This is where I grew up:

Nice houses on wide streets but they do look way too close together. Is that even ten feet between them?

we call that ZERO LOT LINE IN Texas, but here in Idaho its. shut up and mined ur own buisiness.

Carl, where did you go to get that pic? When we sold the house it was bought by two brothers and a sister, Rodriguez, Rodriguez and Rodriguez. It has been 15 years since I last saw the house.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane,
Rip

Rip, click on the picture to take you to the map. Talk about a trip down memory lane. The google maps street view is a trip alright. Click and drag to center the map where you want it and zoom in and out by rolling the wheel on your mouse. Select "Street View" and the streets outlined in blue indicate where it is available. Again in Street View you can move the view around the same way as the map but in an wild 360*x360* view. But like wow man if that ain't enough click on the arrows on the road and you are virtually driving down the street. I find it quite practical when I'm going some where new. The search engine of course is great being google, for example I just put in Basin St, 95215 and there I was. The exact addresses may not be on the money.
Carefull you can spend alot of time cruising around tripping man.

That's too cool! I just went to Grandma's house!

Stopped by to see Chris Wiggs yesterday. Got to see two of his Econo's. The 63 Station bus is super straight with bery little rust. The PU he has, has a very special feature that I have only read about, it has the low or short tailgate! Looks great and if in better shape than most tailgates. Also got to see some of the work he is doing on some chevy cars, he does excellent paint and body work so his Econo's are going to be something to watch for.
