Looks like the last time I posted anything I had just gotten my welder and was trying to get comfortable with using it before starting on the car. Since then I finished up welding in a couple of panels to delete my A/C around the first of December, got started doing a little bit of filler work, then stopped working on it again for a while. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/da10a69f69a7c617a16d5c444c9cd0be.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/56a1b1377e1d657e3c2980485fb3f926.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/0898103aa135d3c1c85b320d3ebbee48.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In January I got an 85 Honda ATC 250R that belonged to a friend of mine and began trying to restore it for him, which led to even more time that the car went without being touched. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/43b38318e19039ea89243e94def4dd79.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It was a heap when I brought it home but that has always been a favorite of mine, it's gonna be an ongoing project but it's on it's way to looking good again. Also in January I bought a Remington 700 tactical .223 from a friend that had never even been loaded. It came with a Vortex scope as well. This is an amazing gun but it's absolutely the loudest firearm I have ever fired. Pictured next to it is an old .22 rifle I bought too. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/eafdaa8268eab0d11a354f9a215e05ec.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />It doubles as a flamethrower. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/78a7edfef989b9989060998f2888ae69.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Throughout the year I've also been working on my own 3 wheeler, an 85 Honda 250SX. Completely restored it from the frame up. Right now it is a roller again, just waiting to get the engine back. I sent the stock engine off to a company called Four Stroke Tech for a rebuild and big bore kit. Should be a wicked ride when it's back together. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/9fd9b7a6b70625c8275afd86ffe8f742.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Built a cart for my torch out of some left over metal I had from the welding cart project. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/3dd4f09917c6dd853571c79abf078c77.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Also in February I bought myself another 3 wheeler, this one is an 83 Honda 200E Big Red. Couldn't pass up the deal...an old man sold it for $400. No problems out of it whatsoever, it was running when I showed up to his house. Even got the title. I put probably another $150 into it replacing a few bearings and boots, air filter, etc. I'll probably enjoy it for the summer and winter then sell it off next year. You could definitely tell an old man owned it when I brought it home. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/fc5203ea736497c6b35b4eeb3c2d0f1c.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I cleaned it up pretty good. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/81c4fdd584a08920613e94a7d1861705.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/079feef8ede5a6a21cfdf19b23e0c1ef.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/8bff6e15a4f584c9c97cf249e394aea2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />In March me and my friend Matt drove his 73 Dodge Tradesman van (lol I know) to Dallas to a concert at Gas Monkey. Long story short we wound up meeting the band (Architects, if any of you have heard of them) before and after the show and got to hang out with them for a few minutes after and had them sign the side of his van. Pretty awesome experience!<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/df51c9ffb9cf568b1b33dd0232ad3b7f.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/76d5583181033dc2611a727d88df3a53.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Matt did the drawing...he's not a hippie he just goes camping in the van lol<img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/84c3396016220c85fd7ff5f798b40ba5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Me and my dad built a bench for my future shop using an old tailgate that used to be on my grandpa's 76 F100. <img src="https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/59d20eca7027a8606318f0902d9ba7de.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />More car updates coming in the next post.</blockquote>
