Re: too many projects
I can empathize. I sold my Super Gas Chevy II a few years ago, so I could make more headway on the C10. My current projects:

Re: too many projects
vin63 I had a Pontiac that looked like that in high school! But mine had a little four cyl engine that laid over to one side, and had a Corvair type four speed trans axle in the back hooked to the engine with a drive shaft! Was one weird little car!
Oh yeah nice truck! |

Re: too many projects
Did you cut down and weld your frame yourself, or did you pay to have it done?

Re: too many projects
I know the pain. I told myself I need to stop then I bought my 61. But I will stop until I get rid of some of them. Currently working on 69 cst10, while a 71 Cheyenne, 71 bb longhorn, 66 gmc, and a couple other lurk waiting to be worked on..could be worse!

Re: too many projects
I'm with you. I sold a car last month, and I sold three others last summer. I don't miss them as much as I thought I would.

Re: too many projects
regardless of the pace of what yer doing now, remember, they're not making anymore of them and the price of 'old' keeps going up..
I tell all of my friends, if yer thinking about a project for the future, start looking for ingredients now.. good luck! |
