Bob's 52. Second start

Bob's 52 first start

The latest build for Bob. If you can think it, we can build it. Bob's 1952 dodge crusader started life with a straight 6, 3 on the tree. All wheel drum brakes with no power steering and a 6 volt electrical system. We built a brand new 350 for him, removed the front frame section and replaced it with a modern frame section equiped with disc brakes and power steering. Added a posi rear end with disc brakes. Converted the electrical system over to 12 volts, wired in a double din navi stereo with back up cam. So far we have engine in and running. Next step will be to re-install the front clip, get our driveshaft back from machine shop and install a floor shifter. Should be ready to go in a week or 2. Special thanks to Whitelaw automotive / machine shop, Woodstock automotive machine services. Will post more pics as we progress.

Hello Everyone. I (Rick) would like to share with you what I've been doing since January. Some of you may already know that I have accepted a part time teaching job with Conestoga College. With the end of my program today I would like to thank Art (Owner /Opperator) of Great Lakes Auto for letting me chase my dream of becoming a teacher and allowing me to work part time for most of this year. I will be back Full time at the shop starting tomorrow until January when the new school season starts. I would also like to thank Cathcart Auto Parts for picking up our suburban project and graciously donating a nice direct injection engine for the up coming school year. To my students it has been an honor to watch you grow and I look forward to seeing each and every one of you in the field some day! Have a great day everyone.

Time for some 6.4 engine work.
