Yea, a few of us would like to see some progress on the project. Been wondering where this project was going and if it was ever to be completed. We've been cutting you a lot of slack on it what with the daughter moving out, the new boat, hunting season and working on the hunting camp.

That is orders of magnitude more serious than the ice freaks around here. Are those conversions of sled trailers, or just build on sled-trailer frames?
Love the old Tucker.
Have fun, Dave.

Google "Ice Castle fish house"

They are a manufactured fish house built from the ground up with ice fishing in mind.

My first muscle car. I bought it (in 1975) from a cop who lived around the corner for $700. It only had 52,000 miles on it!

I've seen some pretty nice ice-fishing shacks over the years, but this one is above and beyond!!

It's a wide gauge wood body. Belongs to forum member "white bear"

I think it's a 1950 or 51?

Oh yeah.... That old plywood box..

Built in Nov. of 1950. The original 6 & 3-on-the-tree have been replaced by a 318 chrysler & 727 auto.
30mph at 3000rpm.

Wood body and steel undercarriage. One of the last "woodies" built. C18s is the actual model. 18 passenger school bus was the intended purpose. It now resides in my shop being tinkered on, driving across the frozen tundra of N MN or on LOW as my favorite mode of ice fishing transportation.

ND promised to paint it for me after the tin chicken is done so a little pressure on him will definately put you guys in my good graces.

Co-pilot would enjoy fresh paint on his rig as well.

ummm Dave,

Aren't there a couple of old Fords that are itchin to get to the top of the resto list?

If the chicken takes too long, you might have to just hand it over to #1 son as soon as it's done.

And isn't there a car show that's really not that far off?

I suppose I'll take a little run at this plymouth project again. Unless there are any objections...

Time to fix these front fenders and get them back on the car.

Out with the badness.

Now to cut a patch from this formed repair panel.

And that's what's cooking in Dave's shop today.

Welding sparks are coming soon.
