    Yep ... I'm in the same boat. Mine looks exactly like it did two years ago, actually a little worse.:mad:

    I seem to be motivationally challenged ....!!!:eek:

    This just followed me home today. 37 Chevy PU loosely sitting on an S10 frame which will be the first thing to go. Got the original frame, four front fenders, three rear fenders, good seat, oirginal springs with new shackle bushings installed already, Nice head light buckets with sealed beam kits installed already, extra pair of window regulators, nice hood, crappy grill shell. One thing I need for sure is a good windshield frame.

  23. My '47 Hudson Super Six sedan. All I have are "before", because I just got the car a couple of weeks back and it's been too stinkin' hot out to do anything on it!

    The last two pics are a '47 Hudson I spotted at the Salina KKOA event, and that car is my inspiration point!

    What I started with. What it looks like now can be seen in my avatar. Taking a break from the build for now, while take care of some life issues.

    Here's my second street Rod project 1930 Ford Coupe. Love the coupes. Next step was going to be, chopping the top four inches.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Here's my newest project, but can't decide what to do with the pickup. It has all the original drivetrain and runs, but can't decide whether to keep it original or street rod it. Any ideas????????? I'm open, would like some feedback, Thanks Ralph[​IMG]
