    All my cars are unfinished, and one is my daily driver!

    My '31 Model A Coupe: Just put a 440 where the 383 was, now I'm thinking about pulling the 440 to put into my Challenger and selling the body to start on my '31 roadster project. Technically two projects, this is the Coupe, no pictures of the roadster.. yet....

    Hey Sinister, I dig your Charger. I've had 6 of 'em, three runners, one R/T all had 440/4 speeds. I totalled my first one, too! Wasn't my fault, some ASSHAT in a Firebird turned in front of me.

    I didn't resurrect it, I cubed it with a Sawzall:

    And the daily:

    I'm also build a '62 K10 for my Dad that ain't done yet, either.

    Nice F-85, I have 64 2 door as my only currently registered and usable "cruiser". I also have a 64 4-door I've owned since 1985 and been off the road stored inside since around 88 or 89. I have three 65 parts cars too. Plus a 65 we turned into a stock car racer.

    How do you guys get your wives to drive vintage cars as daily drivers? I can't even get mine to drive one around the block.

  17. I drove my '60 Falcon to Mooneye's Xmas a year ago, and trailered it home. Swapped the drivetrain to my '61 Comet in an attempt to make improvements. The Comet's going through another round of improvements and should be on the road soon. The Falcon might be back on the road early next year.

    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Let's see...

    '68 Chevy truck
    '63 Dodge panel

    '70 Triumph 650 (Been riding it close to 10 years, never finished it)
    '69 Triumph 250 basket
    '67 Triumph 650 basket
    '65 Triumph 650 basket
    '59 Triumph 650 basket
    '54 Triumph Tiger Cub basket

    Not counting the '68 Chevy II driver, it's too clean. Also leaving out the 3 jap bikes and various other projects.

    I'm in.

    This may be a Record Holder! I spotted this '30 roadster body in a barn on the way home from church in 1962 or '63. Dad stoped and asked about the next day, it was free if I took all the spare parts with it. That was the start of my flea marketing career. I sold the body and the guy didn't do a thing with it in 25 years, so I bought it back in 2001. Current plan is to use the 354 HEMI in it with a 9" rear on an A frame with a full belly pan. The '32 Ford grill shell I've had since swapping the floor mats out of Dad's then new '61 Ford will finally get hung on a car.

    Finally I am someone. I found a club where I belong. I have several unfinished piles. Here is one. I lost track of how many years since I started on it but it is over 10. If I wasn't on here, maybe it would be done. :) Neal
