Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

[pgf545]

I really need to get a grip on all our projects. We have WAY to much going on, in addition to the 52 we have a 66 Corvair and a drag boat that my dad is messing with. I have a 69 Camaro that I try to work on in between all my other stuff. My younger brother has a 72 Nova and a Jr Dragster and is currently looking for a dragster for his daughter. The Jr will be sold for her to move up. Wow I'm embarrassed by how ADD I am on all this stuff......is there some sort of 12 step program that I need to look into?

Here are a couple of pictures.

I could only find a picture of my niece from a couple of years ago when she was younger.

Maybe this can be the thread where we talk about our issue and how we can "remedy" it. lol! I vote for more 12 packs and more help, but there is definitely no need for more projects!

Thats bad ass broey. I did a wagon for my kids a few years ago but it has nothing on that belly tank.

PG. I have been planning on getting my oldest daughter in drag racing. That kid loves going fast. SHe's just not there yet age wise at 5. PLus my wife would have a conniption.

Parkwood, thats beautiful! I am working on one now thats slightly custom. It should be good motivation! .

One thing about it, we aren't a bunch of people with a narrow focus when it comes to what we are working on.

Fall 2011 : I rebuilt my pick up trailer that I built back in 1977. Stripped it down to the frame, blasted and powder coated it, added a new body, tool box and wiring.

[G&R's57GMC]

Winter 2011 : I replaced the engine, rad. and rear axle in my '98 Tahoe.

[G&R's57GMC]

Fall 2012 : Bought a '69 Airstream, Replaced the axles, Pulled the interior to refinish the furniture, replace the flooring and appliances . Then found the sub floor around the edges of the rear bathroom rotted.

Winter 2012 : Wife discovers she has a fast growing tumor that cut off the airway to her right lung, started radiation Jan 2 and Cemo Jan. 15. Fortunately the first shot of radiation started to shrink the tumor and now her right lung is back on line.

All projects on hold as I support her.

Feb 2011 : Sold this in Grover Beach,CA.

Started this in Shasta Lake, CA. Finished in Nov.2011. Rented in Dec. 2011.

G&R... sorry to hear. Hope the situation continues to improve.

I vote for more 12 packs and more help, but there is definitely no need for more projects!

No. Beer + help makes it worse. You can't always tell what the outcome will be. And don't set up a vcr with a copy of "Mad Max" to watch between projects...

[Kabwe]

Well I going to complete redo my 55 210 after I finish the truck. There are some things I'm just not happy with. I just taking my time planning right now.

Bam, if you're so unhappy with it, i'll come down and bring it back up north and drive it for you... looks good to me..

I'm doing a Mini Cooper with a Honda engine transplant using a kit from Super Fast Minis. Should be painted by next week. Unfortunately my truck has lost its priority. Struggling to motivate myself to finish it.

are you putting the S2000 engine in it? nice

[Jemo]

Haha...no. *I don't think the S2000 would fit. *In order for the Civic engine to fit, I had to cut the inner fenders out. *This kit comes with a new subframe and is designed for the Civic engine. The one I bought has 130 hp but the car originally had less than 50 I think. *This is my first attempt at an import so I'm a little bit lost. More pics:
