Not my style , if I feel the urge to see how fast it'll go, we've got a great local track!

Only if I don't choke and stall it, or blow something up, or otherwise look the fool...chances are high there might not be a video

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Spent the day hanging out at the GoodGuys 21st Lonestar Nationals at the Texas Motor Speedway today...lots of really cool rides, many were trucks, one other burb that I saw...I was seriously out-classed though, but we turned a couple heads

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Yea, really good show...overwhelming amount of cool stuff to look at. We found ourselves walking past stuff we normally would have drooled over...just too much to take in!! Weather was a bit sucky with the front blowing through, 70's to 50's in a half hour! At least the rain held off for the most part until late in the day...wanted to take a couple laps around the track, decided we better load up instead. Definitely want to hit the spring Good Guys show...need to get a caravan going!!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Getting a little colder around here lately and we haven't gotten around to putting a heater in the burb, so not as much cruising as we're used to

My son and I have been spending more time on other projects and working on the shop, but he did tear down the driver door to replace the window mechanism with a spare we had...the original one was flat wore out and would lock up if it wasn't tickled just right.

Actually have two here...this is the bigger one, at 45x60, and is our main work/play shop. The other is 30x60, isn't insulated, and makes for great storage!
