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:


1963 Pontiac Tempest:


Fuel Funny Car/Altered:

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!

Re: too many projects

Like I could say anything with four Horse Drawn carriages, four Studebakers, three Chevy trucks (one my driver), and several travel trailers... I'm keep'in my mouth shut. oops... too late.

Love the truck, like the Vee Dub.
Love that brown and white '56(?) sedan too!
