Welcome back Zack we missed you aroud here..

Nice projects you got going.

CVA59 · 04-14-2012, 06:53 PM

Thanks everyone. It is good to be back. I picked up the nicest unrestored 65 i have ever seen. It has little to no rust at all and is a complete LWB fleet. I am going to use the cab and fenders for my truck. I will post up some pics soon.

Welcome back, but why did you leave? We have alternate tinkerings, general discussion etc. Tons of non truck projects on the site. Glad to see you back!

Slow Build · 04-14-2012, 09:41 PM

I had a feeling you would end up with that truck soon.

Glad to see you have a truck with more common grill and trim.

Looks like a fun project. Looking forward to your build.

Well, i was tied up with life and other projects so i just wasn't on here very much. Now that i have settled in to my new job and bought dad's truck i hope to get back on here more often.

Glad to have you back! That is a really awesome rod you built.

CVA59 · 04-16-2012, 06:25 PM

Thanks guys. I have the best teacher anyone could have, my Dad! He is right there with me at 70 years old getting his hands dirty and turning wrenches. I owe EVERY ounce of my ability to him for teaching about cars and how to build cars since i was old enough to walk. He's da man, LOL.

Here's the bucket my dad built back in the 70's:

Here's mine, i tried to copy his but got a little of course as you can see.

And here he is a year ago helping with my old 64. He never gets tired of hot rods and old trucks, LOL

flips72 · 04-16-2012, 07:29 PM

good to see ya back, the bucket is sweet and the truck is sharp as well, cant wait to see more pics.

LostMy65 · 04-16-2012, 11:51 PM

Nice comments about your dad.

Zack,
Welcome back. Just wondering about your screen name, CVA59 - were you stationed on the Forrestal at any time? I think they decommissioned it in 93?

My dad served on the Forrestal. I started a memorial to all the men who died in the fire and explosions on July 29, 1967. www.forrestalmemorial.com

Thanks for asking.
