Agreed Ross, noice job.

I presume the trailer will be fitted with a sound system like your treadly. :wink:
Harky, dead right. The bigger you build the monster the more you gotta feed it.
Smart move Ross doing the last jobs first. That way before you know it your finished.... :lol: :lol:

What I don't understand is why you didn't build the trailer out of stainless

Yep...Time is running out again. :(
Progress has been made, all be it slow...
First picture is the toe/push truck,lot of work to go but at least its moving
under its own power...

Image

Second picture : Front end of trailer. Tow hitch and front wheel steering all but complete...

Image

Third picture: There is no third picture, because that is all my lazy butt has done.. :shock:

Story is ...truck is likely to make it to speedweek 2015.. but the streamliner is looking at 2016..

Thanks for all the heads up boys.. I'll shall now get back to scratching my butt...

Yep Tiny ,That was Deisel's truck....
For the readers that have not followed all the threads, here is the picture of Deisel just after the local pet show...
This was him in his prime.

Cousin Mark and Me are the current caretakers of Grandma and Deisel's truck....
It has been left in different sheds over time and suffered the ravishings of such..
It is currently missing its sun visor and hood emblem. The deck needs to be rebuilt.
Many other things are also on the list of repairs or updates.

The truck has many great memories .Grandma and the truck were often seen passing through the local with Deisel and his tounge hanging out
the window, just enjoying the day ....( IT was a dogs life back then )

It has been some time since I have been to this site and am very curious as to if this beautiful streamliner was able to make it to the salt. If so, how did it do? I first got interested in motorcycle streamliner in the 60's and became friends, then partners with Don Vesco. I hate to see such a great build and then it just disappeared.
Any information would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Matt Guzzetta
