As someone who is living that dream, I can tell you it certainly is NOT overrated. I retired at 57, the wife was 55. We both really liked our jobs but just got sick of the traffic and smog in Salt Lake. So we quit work, sold the house, and moved to sunny Arizona. I believe the smartest...

Done..... 😁

Crystal clear skies here. I watched it for quite a while, it was like watching paint dry...

Hey ya old fart, did you just actually type out the “J” word? That had to be tough! Do you need a hug now?

I tried to wash that blue oval taste out of my mouth as well...

That’s so 80’s... It’s a fact, it can’t be cool without an LS in it, or so I’ve heard.

Makes sense, all those XJ dorks look alike to me....

No worries, you’re in St. George right?

Way back when, we did ours at Impact. Good course, and they did the all of the paperwork and fingerprints at the same time.

I’d love one too for my trailer as well, if the others fall through the cracks.

That’ll buff out....

One more mock up of the engine placement. It’s a lot tighter than I envisioned, but I managed to get the motor mounts in the perfect position. I’ll pull all of it back out tomorrow and start hacking up the firewall and floor

I just don’t see the logic in paying big bucks for a gun I’ll likely never use. I run across 4 or 5 large Diamondbacks a year down here. I pack 18 rounds of “Snakeshot” in my 9mm and feel comfortable around them. So far, I’ve never fired at one. I'm one of those guys who believe the more guns I...

Not much to show for it, but I did get a ton of work done. I’ve been using my little Lincoln 110 welder to tack a few things into place on the hot rod. I got sick of the smoke and spatter and finally decided to wire in the 220 V outlet that I need since I’ve been sitting on the parts for close...

Problem resolved, I think. Instead of mounting the radiator vertical like it should be, if I tilt it 20* to more closely mimic the grill I will gain almost 2” at the water pump level. That should remedy my steering issue as well as reduce the amount of firewall and and floor modifications I’ll...

The steering shaft needs to go where the #7 exhaust header runs. I’ll need to route the shaft out to the frame rail, then back in to the rack and pinion. That should be easy enough, but even then I’ll probably still have to offset the engine about 1/2” to the right to clear things.

Tried a quick test for of the new power plant. If I could love without the luxury of steering and a radiator it would be fine, but some corners even I won’t cut. Looks like I’ll be introducing the firewall and tunnel area to Mr. Cutoff Wheel.

That’ll get the first sheet mostly down, what about the rest? Trust me, I’ve been there..

Installed the uppity down thingys along with a lumpy stick and new bicycle chain.

The most tedious job in the world, checking bearing clearances using Plasti-gauge.
