| My other rigs | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1976 Ford Courier, the LOPS (little orange piece of shit) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is my first rig. It's really starting to show the wear & tear that I put it though during college. However, the truck hasn't fully outlived it's usefull life, & well, I guess I've grown attached to the dumb thing. Sure is usefull for moving stuff & on dirt roads it's a lot of fun. I'm thinking of making it a 4x4 & possibly putting in a larger engine. Most likely a 2.3L 4-banger, though I'd love to put in a 170, but the engine compartment isn't long enough. (I'm not really interested in greatly modifing the truck...too much work!) While the truck has been fun...it's also been a source of frustrations as well. On a trip to Portland (OR), my 2 front tires fell apart (stupid retreads!) & then on the way back home the rear ones gave way. Here's a picture of the worst rear tire. |

| The truck also has had a problem with keeping mufflers intact, as this picture shows! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This little truck was fun & got me through college, but it was time to let it go. I sold it when I moved. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1982 cougar | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This car was given to me after a friend of mine sent it into a ditch. It was really just a big pain in the ass! It became a real point of contention between my landlord & I. After several attemts to fix it, I finnally sent it to the junkyard. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1996 Toyota Tercell | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Thought that I had a few pics of this car on hand, but I guess I don't. Picked this little car up to drive cross country & it ended up making 4 trips. Still runs great, though my mom is driving it now. A rather fun little car, but I didn't dare work on the thing. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1965 Falcon tudor | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I guess one wasn't enough as I "HAD" to get another one. This vehicle is not in as good shape as the '63, so I don't feel all that guilty modifing some. Right now the car has a 200 six, holley 1946 carb, C4 auto & a 2.87 ratio 7 1/4" rear. I'm planning on keeping the six (of course!), but I want to swap a 3.03 3spd (which I now have) & a 3.55 locking 8" rear. I just recently swapped a carter YF from a 1970 maveric & am currently fiddling with the tuning. I'm also going to go with the duraspark II electronic ignition. This car has its own page now. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 1984 F150 4X4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is my most recent vehicle. It has the 300 six, NP435 4spd, NP208 transfer case & a 3.55 limited-slip 8.8" rear. The plan is to lift it a little (just an inch or 2), for the most part I will leave the driveline alone. For the engine I plan on swapping on a 2bb (autolite 2150), Offy "C" intake & the EFI exhast headers. One of the preavious owners has all ready swapped to the duraspark II so I won't need to worry about that. The truck has its own page now as well. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
