Haven't touched my unfinished chopper in at least 4 years. (still have good intentions, honest) Made myself a hitch plug last week. Haven't finished that either, lol. That Ford is sick. Post pics of it as you go.

Truck is cool man. Do you have any plans to straight axle it?

Nice hitch cover...stainless?

Hey, I can wait. Nice to be able to have the tools to do that.

I been in and out not posting much . kind of lost focus on the two wheel vehicles . been building a 67 c10 truck cant post pics theyre too large its a pain shrinking em down . but I still try and check a few builds like yours , indian marks , dans knuck and a couple others

I had a 67 C10. Wish I still had that one!

its been 20 plus years since ive built a 4 wheeler . wanted something with a little cool factor that wasn't a Camaro or mustang easy to find parts . I still got plans on building an old triumph chop rolling around in my head probably when I'm finished with the truck . hows the 1911 coming haven't seen any updates in a while

im in and out, just completed my first frame, swing arm 650 xs, lota work and thought. nice pu I have a 72 k20. waiting for it to cool down a little getting geared up to block n split fire wood.

Well, I did some finish machining on the slide. Got it to a buddy with a CNC EDM that can put in the undercut area for the barrel to sit in. He's had if for several months and is "gonna get to it soon." Once I get it back I can start fitting everything together. Actually I could fit the receiver together, I'm just not working on it till fall, which is real soon. Unfortunately. I'll post a current state on my build log.

72 is nice factory disk

I still browse through looking for new post.
Seems to be little going on here.
But I still reference friends to here for the knowledge.

I have not kept my thread up to date though.
Mine went off in that "while I am doing this I might as well do that also kind of rabbit hole.
But....it is nearing completion even if a bit over-done.
