A special gift for my cousin Mason, made from part of an aircraft that is special to him.

The South Central Threshing Association put on one heck of an antique threshing show in Braddock, ND! Something for everyone!

I was invited by Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (esgr.mil) to watch the North Dakota National Guard build bridges over the Missouri River.

More 1941 GMC truck restoration. For this one I decided to paint the frame instead of powder coating it. I figure for the kind of driving I am going to do with this truck this would work just fine and aside from my labor is much more affordable.

The North Dakota National Guard invited me to be a participant at their 2024 civic leader day. An entire day spent learning about the scope and breadth of North Dakota’s National Guard and their readiness and educational capabilities. Thank you ND National Guard! Thank you U.S. Service members and Veterans for all that you do for America!

Just some random work in the shop today. Took the harmonic balancer off the extra GMC 228 motor, which was a real bear. Too hot and humid to continue the frame painting for that pickup, but will get back to that once the weather breaks.

Today my friend Alan and I took apart the 228 GMC engine in preparation for the rebuild.

Getting the rust off the frame and restoring it.

1941 GMC

This 1941 GMC pickup truck came to me in pieces, so I am putting it together so that I can find it a new home. It is a wonderful old piece of American History. Until today I had never seen it all put together.

I got to use a .243 casing to punch the holes in the Felpro cork. Truck projects a rifle component = fun.

After 7 years of working on my 1959 Apache I am getting ready for it to come home soon. I needed to wire the taillight buckets and get them ready to install.

I borrowed $900 from my mom in March of 1985 to buy this car. I was 16, it was 13 years old. Good little cars. Motor is not stock, nor is it a 350. We sure have had some good times over the years. It’s a bit of a time capsule for me really. The glovebox still is full of the stuff that was in it when I drove it to high school. I spent my 30s restoring it to factory appearance. Now it is date nig...
