Wow, it never fails to surprise me but once again simple tech and skill make for a great looking project. nice work and hope to see it finished someday. My dad tricked me with food too, that would have been a good bbq at home !!!

Kenny, yours is the first reality show I've seen that is worthy of the name!
Great show(s). Fun, and real low bucks innovation. I loved it.
Bet your proud of your sons. Hope they know how lucky they are to be able to develop such talents and share real quality time with their dad.
Thanks for the post,
Byron

Thanks everyone. Yes I am by the rail yard!! Hope everyone looked at the other videos of the build. I got side tracked with a few other projects. The latest is a 57 chevy build. Also after speed TV's dumbest stuff on wheels aired my Dangerous Hicks Videos I am building a SkyScooter. Thanks for the interest!

I loved the video can't wait to watch the rest of them...
Good stuff, and it shows what you can do with a little (or a lot) of imagination....

You scored a "zero" on the BS meter, and a "ten" on the Useful meter. Keep those videos coming!

Hi Kenny, welcome to the site. You have done well with the 'A' body. I like the fact that you bent the bottom of the posts in the way you did, that is a much better way than welding on the corners or welding lots of small pieces together. You have a nice son by the look of it, you must be proud of him.

I came across this one this one last year some time and enjoyed the process. I have to ask do you have any relatives up in northern California? Hicks in not the most common name around at least here and my wife was a "Hicks" before I changed that!
Looking forward to more build videos.

Very Enjoyable series. I like the "get it done with whatever you've got" approach. Determination and imagination are good tools.
Father and son are enjoying time together...great.
