Why are you working on you latest project ?

Curious if your latest project picked you or you picked it, and what is it ?
My latest is a '49 Chevy P/U because I had a '51 30 years ago and wished I never sold it. I always loved those AD trucks lowered way down but still drivable.

 

My latest is a Rambler Ambassador Cross Country wagon .... mainly 'cause I'm fruit for anything different!

Here's it's ugly self!

 

31 Chevy Roadster because I couldn't afford a Brookville so that I could be like everyone else.

 

My latest project is updating and remodeling the house so my time and money spent on my next car project wont seem to be needed elsewhere.
I hope...........

 

my latest is a 27 t coupe,
guess i picked it, just wanted to try something different not the standard '32 five window although they are nice!

 

As with most cars I get they come up in conversation. You know: Hey I like your car and I have an old one out back want to take a look. Usually find out how much they want for it. And then pass the info to all my friends most the time no one jumps on it. So I file it in the back of my head until I need another project. And go back and make a counter offer if it is still there. That's how I ended up with my 28 coach that I am building now and quite a few others. Normally my friends don't want the challenge of building what I like. But at least I give them a chance. So in answer to your question I guess they find me...ghost

 

Ive been wanting an old panel truck for the business and ran across a solid 50 Chev Panel Wagon on CL. It turned out to be only 9 miles from me. Guess it ment to be.

 

I definitely picked my current project. I bought this 1939 Ford Standard Model Coupe in 1965 and have owned it ever since. I drove it through High School and the first couple of semesters to college. It has been kept and driven ocassionally ever since. I am now putting this car back to it's original glory with a few vintage modifications mostly for looks rather than for performance.

 

Working on my 53 chev 2dr and the 48 gmc. Trying to get them ready to drive 1900 mile to Kansas. Low and slow in the 53 and pray the jimmy just makes it.

 

Was looking for an A coupe, put an ad in the local paper and this followed me home.

Hope to be on the road this summer.

 

Workin on mine because it got smasheded

 

Because I have some nasty diseases I can't shake. The Fn car calls my name constantly: come sit in me drive me, try to break somthing on and on like that. Or it could be my mental illness.

 

Starting an event only ice cream business. Been working on this off and on for three years now. Should finish it in a few months. I found 2 of my Divcos in Southern Washington near the Columbia River.

 

My latest project is to clean up and drive the wheels off of a '55 F-100 I've been after for the better part of a decade. The PO stopped driving it a few years ago when the ignition shot it's wad so it sat untill I got word. I can defiantly say it chose me. The first time I saw it years ago it just spoke to me. I knew it was my truck. It isn’t pretty and it needs a lot to meet it's potential but you know, sometimes you just fall in love.

 

was looking for a 30's more door Mopar for the next project, but saw a chopped dodge truck and the creative juices started flowing. found a nice stock one, brought it home and the wife says "you ARE building that for me aren't you?" got a long ways to go to finish, but it's coming along good. And, yes, it's hers.

 

Cooooooooool! Love those divco's! Littleman has one on here if i remember correctly. Do a search. It's really cool.

 

Well my latest project is a 1967 Chrysler 300 440(375 horse) 727 auto.

 

My latest project had been rattling around in my head for a long time so much so it made me do something about it. Trying to have it ready for El Mirage in May.

My latest project I just finished. It's a '63 GMC and it just kinda fell in my lap. I decided to see how fast I could do a complete build just to see how fast I could do it. I had it done in 15 days. It was complete when I got it, then it turned into two bare framerails. Then drove out of the shop 15 days later with a new mill and entirely fabricated suspension and chassis. Look for my thread called "let the hating begin to get the full scoop on the extent of the 15 day build. It was draining!!!

 

Hmmmm ...... way cool!
Royal Enfield 350 or 500 ..... right?
Judging from the background, it's probably a British-built one, too.

 

Its a Weslake 500 speedway engine from the early 80s. The Norton also has a Weslake 500 but it is from the mid 70s. Proud to say its an El Mirage and Bonneville record holder. Hope the sidecar will too.

 

Just picked up a '53 Chevy in a trade... never been a huge fan of 'em but I'm liking them m ore.

 

Who's going to be the monkey ? - Ha Ha - and no I'm not offering - Good looking rig!!

 

No human monkeys allowed. The monkey will be a large car battery.

Yeah ... my bad.

I shouda noticed the lack of finning ... takes an alky burner to get away with that for long!
OK, I'm outta here lest I be accused of hijacking the thread.

 

My 30 A Tudor helped save my life and I could have lost my life in my 31 A Tudor.

The 30 helped me survive my battle with cancer. It has been named "Survivor." I was hit head on by a careless driver in the 31 last summer and it deserves to be resurrected. It has been named "Resurrection."

 

I am working on a 55 chevy first series truck.The truck has been in the family since new and was completely restored until my father t-boned a dodge magnum.The only thing left body wise from the truck is the cab and bed.My 13 year old son wants to drive it to Highschool as a..... how should I put this..fenderless truck.We are going to try to build it with parts that are lying around my fathers house.We have a 425 nailhead and 4 speed,a late 50s pontiac rearend,the grill shell is from a 29 Buick,30 chevy headlights so far.I got a complete 37 ford front end from a friend for free and I bought F1 brake set up from a hamber.I probably will not post pictures as I am not a fan of the "keyboard critics" coments.I like the grill shell and headlights because they are big like the cab.
