Projects Hows your project going?

Uh, which one? They are all further along in my head than in reality. Have been focusing on my 3 window the last couple months, although more time waiting for parts than actual wrenching.

lol ... looks about right. Maybe with the wife in the background looking on disapprovingly.

 

Found this ironic,
Any father knows that those cute little 3 year old girls will cost you more than any project car, by the time they're 21........

i will never finish all the projects i have lined up..............the honey-do list alone would make the "this old house" crew run screaming.

 

Well, I have learned that sanding and polishing intakes may not be my cup of tea....

But they sure do look nice.....

 

Thanks.
As soon as I read your comment I remembered as a kid I saw those programs in the '70s

Getting very close to being finished, as if it's ever really going to be finished.

 

Down to the home stretch for Viva. 64 C10. Some light wiring, a new radiator, weigh it, register it and log a few miles before taking it through the California and Nevada desert. Next week will be a lot of hours spent in the shop.

NAES

 

I think I'm starting to pick up steam. Giving myself a deadline (September) seems to really help!

 

if it goes anyworse I will be going backwards , soon as I get money or time something pops up , or goes wrong , as soon as the weather breaks I hope to take some stuff to the recycler to get some more cash , but do to some things I will not mention I have to stay on hold at the moment . and I need to sell some stuff but not in the mood for craigslist dealings ( O/t parts)

 

Danny, thanks for the memories. Remember the "He-man woman haters Club" and wishing Cotton was a monkey? Funny stuff. Yum Yum Eat Em Up!!

 

Nothin to work on right now--finished a 40 for a guy two months ago. Went over both 40's for the season coming up. May help a guy shortly finish a 37 Woody if my back holds out--slower than I used to be. Looking for another 40 to play with.

 

Been Working on these for 3 years now....Sedan is a driver waiting to be Hot Rodded one day.

Someone mentioned Honey Doo Lists...Just spent a couple of months building a Green House in the Back Yard...

I know it's OT but so is a big part of Life!
So, Now it's time to get the Phaeton on the road!

Like the tail lights. Poncho lights in a bucket of some sort?

LOL I built a green house for a fella once but he got busted.

 

They are cowl lights off a big truck. Here's another couple pics, they were clear glass facing forward and red lens rearward. I turned them around, replaced the clear with the poncho and left the red lens to wash the gas tank sides.

 

My 1919 Dort touring "Hot Rod" is coming right along...........

 

Cool idea. I wonder how many will ever figure out that it didn't come that way.

 

Dead Still at the moment..
All I need is : '30-'31 "A" coupe body that I can afford
Some '32 rails , crossmembers , etc
Frt axle & rear end
Steering , brakes, radiator..
327 block & crank ,pistons,cam
and a bag of cash to help the project.....
All the rest I have !!!

 

Mine is going as well as it can, had to take carb off to have it cleaned, God only knows what that's gonna cost Me

 

I am looking forward to getting back in the shop again,all I have been doing is cranking the cars the last couple of months. HRP

 

I am hoping to have mine completed this Year (fingers/toes/crossed)-I am getting closer to Paint, but I am afraid how long it will be in Upholstery Jail-definitely making progress though-

 

Man-do you have the good life.The Phaeton and Hawaii! WOW

 

Paying a shop to do the work I can't do, trying to get a title and registration for a 60 something year old car that apparently the state thinks I stole, considering I have to sell my soul to get it legal...as well as jump through flaming hoops, stand on my head and bark backwards...Every time I finish one thing, my task list seems to get longer and I keep telling myself I should have just bought an already restored car because it'd be cheaper and I'd be driving something by now! But hey, I'm trying to stay positive hahaha considering I haven't used it for target practice yet...patience is definitely a quality I do not have. I ain't got time for that!

P.S. - How you feeling HRP? Hope you're doing better!

 

To give you an idea, my car and I are in Wisconsin and my motor and tools are at my new place in Florida. One day we shall be reunited and sparks and noise will ensue!

 

Hmm.... Would it be inappropriate if I said I would pay to see that?

 

Hell, maybe if I did that I'd have more money for car parts! Then again I feel for all the guys with the honey do lists and the old ladies giving them grief...lol...I got it easy...Life is good...

 

Got nothing done over the winter,did not feel like smelling kerosene fumes so I decided to put off the work until it started warming up and when it did I got a nasty cold and then a couple weeks later a upper respritory infection so I felt like crap for a month so maybe next week I can get in the garage.

 

Got some stuff done on my 37, and got a big box from Summit of stuff to do. Got distracted by some life stuff, working on the garage instead of the car, and yesterday my DD truck broke a leaf spring shackle, so I guess that's what I'll be working on this weekend. At least the weather is starting to get nice.

 

. Have not worked on it since October . Put a floorboard in last weekend
