Motorbug - 2000 F350 w/ 7.3Powerstroke Diesel 6x6
417,xxx miles on the clock still running the factory original injectors.
She's got air in, air out, air ride, more monitoring devices than a puddle jumper cockpit, and some electric brain voodoo. She recently got an 05-07 facelift and dual cowl induction hood after an altercation resulting in a flattened Ford Windstar.

A little winter on her...

I'm not a truck guy but that is just gorgeous.

[Christof13T]

Well thank you Sir!
She is a work in progress.
Im leaning closer toward spraying more bedliner to include the dually fenders and rocker panels.
After the accident, i would have had to spend close to a grand to get the new hood and fender color matched so instead of that nonsense just bought a commercial bedliner spray rig. Its become quite the lucrative toy!

1996 Honda Goldwing with a '96 California Friendship III attached. To answer the next question, that's a Bunkhouse camper in the background and yes, I pull it with the bike.

1927 chevy turned into 40's style hotrod


01 ram 3500 5.9l cummins 6 speed stick


1963 willys

[EMC45]

Nice hot rod and Willys!

[oldrodder]

Seeing as how hotrods are welcome, here's a few of mine:
This is my current ride. Built in 2002/2005 it's all steel, 1934 Ford 5-window coupe, '95 'Vette LT-1, 4L60-E tranny, 9" rear, PS, PB, PW, air/heat. This is my 14th build.



Another '34 Ford. This one is a 'glass car with a '95 'Vette LT-1 and 5-speed stick. Also with PS & PB. I sold it 3 years ago to fund another addiction.



I bought this '32 Ford coupe in 1990, completely rebuilt it in 1998/2000 and sold it in 2002. The new owner threw too much $$$$ at me!!



I took this '48 Ford F-47 on trade when I sold the Deuce. Only kept it for a few years.



The only surviving pic of my '35 Chevy. Again a '95 'Vette LT-1 and 4L60-E tranny, PS, PB, PW, air/heat I drove this for 80,000 miles before the fire.



After the fire!



I mentioned earlier, selling the roadster to fund another addiction. This one!


1997 Harley FLSTS. The Motor Company built 1500 of these in this colour to replicate the 1948 Bagger. Except for the Caddy tail lights, all the add-ons were available in 1948. Front & rear "cheesegrater" bumpers, beach bars, leather fringe everywhere! A period correct sidecar will be installed this Spring.


There were several more toys but they were before the digital age and no pics!!
Thanks for looking,
Mike

A lot of beautiful rides here.

Here's mine, '69 Biscayne, bought brand new by my great-grandmother in '69 passed to my grandpa, and now it's made it to me.

Here are a few of my former projects, for those interested.

This was one of my favorites. A 1998 Valkyrie with a Ural sidecar. Click on the link above to see a half dozen more.

I've spent over an hour trying to get the pictures to load. This isn't the one I wanted. I can't duplicate how I got it to load either.

Trying to get one to show the Mustang, one of my Vettes, a Datsun roadster, & 57 Tbird.

Let one of the youngsters figure it out.

You can do it. Pictures don't have to be hard. Find simple instructions here:

I've been trying that but it won't download it. It keeps saying download failed.

Here's my 72 Pontiac Ventura I built when I was 16, and modified it for another few years.



I've been waiting to graduate college for the funds to finish my 1969 K20 I started a few years ago too.







And what takes most of my time these days along with finishing my Mechanical Engineering Degree. Our schools SAE Baja offroad race car. It doesn't look like much yet.

Did you do the hoist ? Or did it come that way ?
If you did it...what's the cost ?
I assume you need a hydraulic pump on the engine too, right ?

[popper]

Felix - got to ride around on a friend's '48 whizzer, it was fast a lot of fun. Bought a junk Solex that year. This one is not mine but like the only fun car I've had. Bought it used in early '60's, rebuilt the engine but had to sell it as I ran out of funds. Austin Healy 100-4. I wanted to take it home & replace with a 283 ( cut 400# off weight), ended up selling it. These are now worth >$100k. Shucks.

The dump package was dealer installed in 1972, along with the dual saddle gas tanks. It was a fire dept. work truck in Livermore California up until about 10 years ago.
It's an "electric over hydraulic" pump system, so all I need is a switch to operated the bed. The pump doesn't need to be hooked up to the engine, only 12 volts. From what I understand, the cons of this is that it cant generate a whole lot of lift. Still though it's just a pickup, and I have dumped loads of up to 3500 lbs with it.

If you're interested I have some closer pics of the hydraulic system.

Thanks for the offer of "closer pics of the hydraulic system". I am familiar with electric over hydraulic. I'd only need more pics, if you were selling me the setup

I'm jealous for sure. Here's a partial photo from 3 weeks ago of my '71 with it's winter camo on lol

Very cool! I love the body style from those years, especially when they are still used as trucks!

This is the first car that I bought and paid for myself in 1965 when I was 21 years old. I am on the third and final restoration. 312, factory dual quads added in 1966, bored, balanced, aluminum heads, Isky cam, Sharp roller rockers, Ford large input toploader 4 speed with Hurst shifter with factory shift handle grafted on to it coming through the stock chrome shifter tower. Have 3.55 street gears and 4.57 tracton loc for the strip. Paint and body work done. Hope to get it running again this year.
