Made some progress today on the first front wheel drive #strictlystock race car build for Potomac Speedway. Back in like 2006 I brought the first Lincoln #MarkVIII to the track, and now the class is half Lincolns. If… https://t.co/YyXudL0K7w

There. Now you don't have to drive to DC and risk spreading the virus. You're welcome.

We gave Arnold Goatzenegger and Dwayne "The Buck" Johnson to close friends a few months ago, but with all the doom and gloom in the world right now, a visit with them yesterday was just what I needed... https://t.co/gk8DX3BTCm

Strip away all the politics and infighting, and DC can be a beautiful place!

No touchups, edits, or filters. Just a few raw Galaxy S10+ shots from the Lincoln Memorial this morning... @ Lincoln Memorial https://t.co/Xq8zF7y3FE

It turns out that there are six catalytic converters on a '98 Mustang GT, not four. I cut them out earlier today, after further efforts to get the fuel pump working failed. The engine seems to run fine on spray, so… https://t.co/ZQYwKldWtI

When a wrecked but complete 4.6L V8/5 Speed 1998 #mustanggt drops from $1200 to $400 on FB Marketplace, you buy it. It might be an hour and a half away, it might be raining, and, when you arrive, it might not start… https://t.co/hqlLBp7gZk

Well, 7.5" is better than nothing!

The $100 donor #Chevy sheetmetal for #ClydeTheRampTruck got the vital areas dusted off this afternoon by Kurt Eberwein of Southern Maryland Sandblasting, before I cut them out this evening. Josh and I will be… https://t.co/ES9tWcada5

The big 7.3L #Ford #powerstroke #turbodiesel is eating up valuable legroom in the tight confines of #ClydeTheRampTruck. Whether we do it now or later, we are gonna want to stretch the cab a little bit to get that… https://t.co/LWrS8wMjiL

Josh, Don, and I swapped the #Ford #F550 floor into #ClydeTheRampTruck's '57 #Chevy cab today. It took plenty of cutting and welding, but the Chevy floor was too high in the front, and we are using the Ford seat… https://t.co/OjkD3elGVa

[Speedycop @speedycop]

#ClydeTheRampTruck's cab mounts are fabbed! I cut off and reused the #F550 rear cab mounts by shortening them, raising them up, and moving them forward, then welding them back on. It's just sitting on them for now,… https://t.co/JojTg8gXrH

[Speedycop @speedycop]

Don and I made a little more progress today on #ClydeTheRampTruck. We have the '57 #Chevy cab sitting down over the #F550 chassis, and the Ford firewall trimmed to fit. Now begins the tedious process of fabbing cab… https://t.co/VNy66VtxDH

Solo garage day, trimming the #F550 firewall to fit the 1957 Chevy cab for #ClydeTheRampTruck.

Whittling the firewall out of the #SuperDuty cab would have been much easier if I wasn't trying to keep the front cab mounts. Don and I spent the holiday yesterday pulling the dash and wiring, and then cutting out… https://t.co/DP0M8uNpXs

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Progress continues slowly but surely on #ClydeTheRampTruck. When I bought the 1957 Chevy 6500 as a cab donor for a very reasonable $1500, my goal was to part out the rest and recoup the purchase… https://t.co/Ku7udzbA8f
