About Me

My Name is Travis Evans. I have been married since 2007 to my wife, Kira Evans. We have a Three girls, Kenzie Lou, Jacee Pink, and Emmy Jeanne. My wife has been doing the blog thing for a few years now, you can follow her comments @ travisandkiraevans.blogspot.com. Her blog covers our family and things we have done. Me, I'm going to cover what I call TKDesign. TKDesign is an idea which stands for creativity, execution, purpose, and family. Family with the "TK." TK gets its roots from a high school love story. A simple representation of two teenagers love, T+K. In our later years we dropped the "+" and now "TK" represents us, our family, and our values. Design, as the English dictionary defines it; to create, fashion, execute or construct according to plan, to have a purpose, to devise for a specific function or end, to make a drawing. We can sum up the definition with these three words; Creativity, Execution, and Purpose. You put these four things together; Family, Creativity, Execution, and Purpose and you have the idea of TKDesign. So you'll get my thoughts on sports, cars, designs, and my family. So if that Interests you feel free to read on!

Mockups and Welding

Well after we had the motor in and out 3 time I think we got it. The first and second times it was because of a wrong flywheel. The 3rd time was because the motor mounts were wrong. So my dad mocked up some modifications and went to his buddy Neil's shop. After some new motor mounts the motor is in and hopefully for a while. 

New and old flywheels and torque converter. 


One of the first time we put her in...

Modified motor mounts!

Looking pretty and all mounted up!

The next project would be getting the pulleys, fan, and radiator mounted. We had to order some new pulleys as the stock ones wounded fit. I'll just say my dad and I love Summit Racing. They have almost everything we need and we get it two days after we order it. We had to rework some custom radiator brackets. Because I like mig welding better than gas/stick welding I used it as an excuse and baught a new 110 suitcase welder. 

New custom radiator brackets!

Radiator brackets in place.

Now that he radiator is in place we can start to work in the alternator bracket and get the pulleys hooked up. Really enjoying the time with my dad!
