Some cool pictures and review of the trail. It reminds me a bit of the "country road trips" my friend and I would take coming back from the cold beer store at the Lafayette county line during college.

I'm in.......when it warms up a little.

My friend David Quirin has been on that route multiple times on his bike. I'm sure he'd lead a group. It's a bunch of gravel roads.

I would think doing the MS and AR section would be a nice easy start.

Dad has a '65 Continental. It's not a show car, but is a nice driver. Also restoring a 1960 Lincoln Mark V. Convertible. (Less than 500 known to still be in existence. So ugly it's beautiful.









No pics on phone of the '60 resto, but here is the model I'm referring to:

 

[LittleRock80]

Friends rust-free IH 3/4 ton crew sitting 6" all-spring lift, D60/14 bolt, 35's, WARN 16.5 (not pictured). Everything else including motor is stock. Apologize, I forget the year model.

 

[Bomar]

I want that 65...

 

[LittleRock80]

The '65 is a lot of fun. The wheels usually have wire spoke caps on them--think they were off for cleaning in those pics. It gets a lot of looks and thumbs-up, and the suicide doors always get folk's attention. I do wish it was black...

Dad had a 67 hard top that was his pride and joy. I think that was the last year for the suicide doors? It was a beautiful copper color and he still talks about that car 40some years later...

That IH is bitchen

Yes sir, I believe you are correct. I know the copper color you are speaking of--always thought it was a great color on these big cars.



Nolen-- The IH is massive. I love it. He kept everything he took off (OE springs, wheels, and axles) so it could be put back to stock if he or a future owner so desired. 1-ton axles are surplus military so the 14blt has a Detroit in the pumpkin. He DD's it when he isn't in the sandbox.

That IH is dreamy.

It's in there! Got one new rear driveline installed so its moving on its own. Got another rear and two front drive shafts on the way. New radiator on the way also.

Should be done just in time for K2. But there's no way I'll have it for KOH. So it'll be either the 100 or the Pinzgauer next weekend.

Only bad thing about galvanizing and powder coating a frame?!

Tapping every threaded hole again ......... there's only about 80-100 of them depending on the chassis.
