Default NEWB Fabricator, Chassis guy, Weldor, Sheetmetal shaper

Howdy Folks!

Steve here, been doing interwebs for some time. Was very active on the HAMB a dozen years ago. Provided some serious content there and a few good builds. Been a hot rod guy and classic truck guy for most of my life. I worked in the hot rod fabrication industry since the late 80s and have had my own fab business since 95.

Currently working on a 1954 Ford F100 I bought from my father-in-law. It will be a a replacement for my dying 2003 2500HD Silverado Gas truck. After the last gas crunch I got interested in biodiesel, and have really liked the concept of a stout, efficient and long lasting power plant. Almost pulled the trigger on a few used 4BT and ISB engines but found myself doing something well outside of my comfort zone. I imported a Foton Cummins ISF 3.8 168 engine.

I haven't been working on this much over the last few months, life is in the way. I will be back on it soon.

Sorry, they're not showing up for me either. The link to the Photobucket is at the top of each black panel for me, if you can see those you could follow them to that site.

I thought about that after I posted, I am sure the moderators have a post limit on new guys until they prove themselves not spammers. I understand.

Took a quick look at your album and looks like you've done some nice projects! Welcome here.
