Fibonacci's Introduction Thread

[Fibonacci]

Hey everyone! My name is Josh. I'm a lab manager in one of the labs at Ohio State and have a Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Cincinnati.

 

I used to be part of Cincinnati Street Racing, but moved up here over a year ago and have been looking for a local forum where I can get to meet some more car people.

 

My interest in mostly in Hondas because they've always been reliable and a part of my family (my Grandpa still has his 1978 Civic stationwagon w/ pimp blue vinyl interior ). However, my dad has always loved big muscle cars, so C3 Corvettes have always been up there on my "To Own" list.

 

Last week, I sold my 97 Prelude because the price I got out of it was great. I'm currently looking for a 2nd generation CRX to replace it as my daily driver. You might think of me as a ricer because of this, but I've got nice little project sitting in my backyard... a 1948 Diamond T Dump Truck! The plan is to make a rat rod - chop & drop it, refinish the interior and top it all off with Cadillac 500ci V8.

 

I hope this gives you all a little insight as to who I am. I look forward to meeting everyone. Thanks for having me!

Welcome. I would swear that was the diamond T I was going to buy last year. Did you get it off craigslist dirt cheap?

[Fibonacci]

Yep! We got it off some racist Jewish dude up north of Newark.

 

Guten tag, Krampu$!

[wnaplay1647545503]

Yup same guy. I thought long and hard about buying it but after searching what others have done with them and the fact it was a dually, I didnt think it would make the rat that I wanted and went another route. Good luck with it.

guten abend, Herr Fibonacci!

Fibonacci's Sequence, actually.

 

Technically, there's a zero at the beginning, but who cares

[iwashmycar]

looks like an insane project. welcome

[Doc1647545523]

Ambitious project. Weird and gargantuan, but ambitous. And you manage a lab ...... I think I'm getting the picture.

i need a tetanus shot just looking at that truck.

[ImUrOBGYN]

Welcome. Digging the idea of the Diamond project.

Good intro, cool truck. Just paint it with Chassis Saver, throw in a motor, and drive it

[wnaplay1647545503]

So whats the plans for the truck? When I went and looked at it, I saw some potential but when I stopped to think what a rat really was to me I just couldnt picture it. It will be cool either way but what are you thinking of doing with it?

[Smokey]

Welcome. I say just throw the Caddy motor in the truck and drive it as-is.

[kirks5oh]
