I don't ride much these days but still have my last stupid fast bike. This one has been in American Iron a few years back as well as some other minor publications. I bought it new in 2002 and it's had a few items added over the years. Last time I had it on a dyno it produced 175hp and 156 lbs of torque on a 640 pound ride. It will run neck and neck with a Tesla with ludicrous to 100 mph.

My ‘66 Coupe. Not a perfect restoration and some restomod stuff. But I built it to drive it, not just to put in car shows.
I have just about every original part. The original 289 runs but I have it on a stand. Currently running with a Ford Racing 302 crate motor. All the interior and suspension components are either replaced or brought up to safety and operational standards.
I have a built T5 I plan to swap in at some point.
This is a survivor car, so not perfect and still needs a few minor things taken care of due to rust/age/wear. I love her as she is truthfully.

Got most of my hydro assist built this weekend. I’ve been “roughing it” without hydro assist for far too long. With a spool and sticky 40s I finally bit the bullet on it.
1.5x.25 DOM links
3/4” ruffstuff heims
PSC 1.5” x 6” ram
-6 an hydro lines from box to ram
Trail gear 1650 psi PS pump, cooler, resi
Reman steering box drilled and tapped
Drilled out the tie rod end tapers in my steering arms for the heims. Built the links, tacked the ram mounts where I think I want it.
Remaining to-dos are to cut off the old steering box mounts and move the steering box, then plate that in when I’m happy with the location.
Once I get the box moved, I can lengthen the steering shaft and I’ll be able to cycle everything and make sure it all clears before I final weld the ram in.

You should tighten that nut.
Run out of weld wire?

Have a Titan that has been the best work truck of my life, by far and I mean far. 168k of rode hard without missing a days work, maybe some days when she should have stayed home but made it until I could wrench on her a bit.
In fact, I searched nationwide for a very low milage 4WD one before picking up the Power Wagon...no such thing for sale.
I do like that Nissan but I love this bitty baby....15hp of new Suzuki on tap, 18 if I count the electric and I do.

I know that feeling about an old truck that never lets you down. I had a similar experience with my old Toyota when it was my daily. The only reason I stopped daily driving it years ago was because we were expecting my first son, and I figured it was time to get a vehicle that was not older than I was.
