Wayne's '49 Ford

Wayne let me drive his '49 Ford to Springville on Saturday. It was pretty sweet to get to drive it around and get a feel for what it will be like to drive my own soon.

We got the opportunity to meet Jeff Decker and visit his studio in Springville. I have been looking forward to this chance for a long time. Decker is a very very talented artist with one of the most impressive motorcycle collections in the world. It's almost unbelievable that stuff like this exists right here in Utah, and Springville of all places. I'll be posting more about the visit to Decker's Studio later this week. He and his wife also own the Art City Trolley Restaurant in Springville.

More Ford Progress

This car has become my life as of late. All my free time and weekends have been devoted to finishing the chop on this car. I picked up a TIG welder for the first time this week. It's a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Good thing for me is there is a lot of welding left to do so I'll have plenty of practice. Here's some more progress from the last few days...

Ford Progress Update

A quick Ford update.

The roof is now 4" shorter than before and 85% complete. Still have a few area's to fill in yet but coming along nicely. Hoping to have it sitting back on the ground on the new wheels and tires in the next couple weeks.

2,050 Miles

My good friends Jerry, Adam, Larry and Joe traveled 2,050 miles to Bonneville this year, all the way from Lewiston Ohio. That's some real dedication. Not only did they drive that far, they did it in a '34 Ford Coupe and a scratch built '32 Chevy Roadster. It was great to see these guys again. Here's a couple pics of Jerry's '34 Coupe. They started their journey back home early this morning so I wish them best.

'33 Ford

Here's another photo project I've been working on for my buddy Chris. This is a 1933 Ford Tudor sedan that he converted into a Vicky. There are many many hours of metal work in this car. Nothing looks better than bare steel.
