Hello everyone,
Long time lurker on the site but have wanted to formally join for a long time. I will try to keep it brief but I apologize if this is a book for a first post. About me: North Carolina born and raised, gear head my whole life. I'm definitely one of those "Jack of all trades, master of none" types; I've worked on just about everything at least one time in my life. I am an industrial electrician/ automation equipment designer and programmer by trade but I also do a lot of computer support and car work on the side. Well that's enough about me, I would like to introduce my two projects:
Both of these trucks have very interesting stories but I will save those for another time. The first is a 1985 Power Ram 50 that had been sitting in a garage completely disassembled since 1992. I have went through just about all of the truck and rebuilt, replaced or custom made most of the truck since receiving it a little over a year ago. Need to finish rebuilding the motor and fix some cancer in the rear of the frame and it will be ready to roll.
The second is a 1980 Plymouth Arrow that had been sitting since 93 and I purchased it originally as a parts truck as the overall condition was unknown (craigslist posting) and it had no drivetrain. After pulling it out of the earth, found it to be a really solid truck. Drivers side rocker, passenger door and the bottom of both fenders were rotted but the frame and the rest of the body is clean. Previous owner had started modifying the truck for a v8 so that will be it's eventual path. I have a 318 and transmission I will be putting in eventually.
I will add pictures of the trucks and give more of the stories on the two trucks at a later time. I just wanted to say hello and I look forward to being part of the community.
