Not that I think anybody cares that much, but I just wanna make sure nobody thinks I'm a lazy ass since all my project logs are on stand stills. Anyhoo, this is what has kept me away...

I bought this old Johnson Iron Horse 2 cycle washing machine engine, along with some other stuff (2 old steel tractor seats) at a farm auction for $40. Here are pictures of the motor, and the last one is what I have done with one of the seats so far, and what I plan to do with the other one.



(It's behind the Keystone).


I put a push bar on my truck. After buying 2 that the seller said would fit my truck, both didn't fit, I took the grinder and made it fit. Actually turned out quite well and fit the bumper really nice. :thumbsup:



Finished tuning up my old '53 6 horse Briggs. Gave it a thorough cleaning, and it is ready for a bike. :thumbsup:


I also went to a car show and spent all of my "minibike parts" fund on decals at this one booth. :doah: Got some good one though. I am sure all the Chevy guys will like this one...it's the red dog on the top of my tool box.:laugh:



Anyway that's what I've been doing. Now I have to try to finish the Keystone in time for the build off deadline. :doah: Might not get the paint done but what the hell, it was good fun anyway. :thumbsup:

"88", came with the 5.0, but I hurt it pulling my 27ft. travel trailer. Stuck a 5.8 in it in 96 after the 5 started rattling, still going strong, but it marks it's territory now. What the hell, it's 24 years old, whats a couple a drops here and there?! Oh yeah, it's a 4x4 too.

That's good to hear. I am cleaning the carb as I speak and hope to have it running soon. :thumbsup: But first I gotta finish the Keystone for the build off. :grind:

You should be working on the keystone then and not typing or trying to start an old 2 smoker. You gotta finish or you get your Hot Rod Magazine subscription pulled.:laugh:

Here's a '94 F150 I have. Probably going to sell it soon:

I'll trade you my Durango for it. It needs a rear end, but they're less than $200 from a junk yard. It's been screaming for well over 5,000 miles now so I doubt it's going to let go anytime soon. It's just annoying having to listen to it while driving. :thumbsup:

PM me if you're interested. The original battery is dead as hahahaha now so it will have a new one. It's just sitting in front of my house at this point and I have no need for it. It's got 116,000 on it and I bought it brand new.

edit: depending on the amount I might be willing to throw in some cash to sweeten the deal. My living conditions are iffy at the moment (hoping I don't have to threaten moving out) so that could change.

:laugh: I know. I really enjoyed this issue of Hot Rod though, the picture on the cover of that 5-window with mud tires in the back was great. I probably should put down my Hot Rod Deluxe too and get back to work on the Keystone. Got some done today, check out the build thread. :thumbsup:
