Popular Post Fibonacci Posted December 27, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 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!

wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc1647545523 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ambitious project. Weird and gargantuan, but ambitous. And you manage a lab ...... I think I'm getting the picture. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/imagesCAKWYCRZ.jpg You'll fit right in here. +rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Good intro, cool truck. Just paint it with Chassis Saver, throw in a motor, and drive it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokey Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Welcome. I say just throw the Caddy motor in the truck and drive it as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
