Yesterday, I replaced the water pump and fan belt on the New Porker.

Today, I opened the pool and hung a new mailbox up.

The mailbox is cool. My brother made it out of an old dresser drawer and he cut the wood so that the drawer's keyhole is on the front of the box.

i got this lil fetta when i was in reno..and i got sick of the faded factory colors..belive it or not that whole gut was cream/yellow with brown carpet....but it faded to pinkish and piss puke yellow.....i couldnt take it any more...cost me 14$ in dyepaint..i allready had a spare carpet from a cut down car......i "should" have leather door panels but i cant find em....and i have a good black leather back seat but i dont have a good set of fronts...so these stay for now..and the contrast is not soo bad

 

[dodgechargerfan]

Nice. The black looks way better!

 

[thrashingcows]

funny thing is ive got another car here with what can only be said as a "factory" before shot..with the cream and dark brown....ida never guessed it would fade to pink either...gotta be about the weirdest shade to fade to.....too many years in the cali sun?

theres also...this...

 

[thrashingcows]

What the heck did you slap under that thing to mount those tires? And what IS that thing...

Alfa Romeo Spider with front and rear suspension out of a MkIV Toyota Supra, sitting on 33 12.5 15's off my '79 Ramcharger.

the tires..while silly are basicly a "test fit" imagine the rubber as flares...and the tires being something in the 25inch tall range

I would love to see pictures of that DCF.

I would love to see pictures of that DCF.

Here ya go.




See? It's got the slot for the locking arm even.


A piano hinge for the lid.


Side shot


And the bottom is even the wood from the drawer bottom.




The finish is just stain. Ours is well under a covered porch. If it were more exposed to rain, I'd put a clear coat on as well. I might still do that but I'll see how this fairs over a few months or so.

 

[71ChargerRT]

That's pretty cool DCF!

 

[Diplomat_Wagon]

Pretty hefty!

I have a checker plate tool box bolted to the side of my house for my mail and parcels.

 

[Stretch]

I like that DCF! I like that alot!

I've been busy redoing my bathroom. It was ass ugly and all marlite. It was in bad shape and it's the only one in the house so with a wife and 2 young kids there isn't much time to screw around. Here are some before pics and 2 weeks worth of progress pics to fallow.

 

[Stretch]

Some progress pics.

 

[Stretch]

Some more pics. (I have no idea why they never post in the order I post them).

We did this at work, finished our portion of it a few months ago and the owner has been assembling it.

A very rough and wavy body - fiberglass - that needed a lot of filling, blocking and more blocking. I had close to 150 hours in the body and prep work.
The boss sprayed it with a Nissan colour, base clear. One of his better jobs, for sure. No de-nibbing or polishing needed here.

A lot of money for a replica, but it sure looks nice!
