just wondering what's on you older rodders' bucket list. mine still has drag racing and a trip to Speed week on it, plus building a traditional fenderless hot rod pickup. what's on yours? this hair isn't gray, it's primer...haven't chosen a color yet.
Get my grandson to turn his attention from tuners and drifting to hot rods....he's only eleven, so I am optimistic.
Build a belly tanker and go to Speed Week. 200mph club would be a bonus. Build a car from start to finish without farming out any of the work. thats a lil bit more outlandish that the belly tanker.
I've raced at Bonneville and I have a fenderless roadster pickup. I'd like to go to the salt flats in Austrailia and some day go 200 mph.
i've done the 200 MPH thing , unfortunately i was at the controls of an airplane what i would really like to do is command a submarine...figure out a firing solution , fire a torpedo and sink a ship. yes, i'm a bit weird
Build a roadster from a pile of parts. I have most of the pile. Actually, I hope I don't need that bucket-list for a while. Hey...I wrote a poem!
other than finish the one I have? I'd love to own a really nice '56 Lincoln Premier... with too much engine, and enough brakes.
I hope to get my 47 Ford convertible finished within a couple of years, drive from KC to San Diego and then cruise the coast with the top down to see a good friend who lives in Seattle. About then my bucket will probably be pretty near empty.

I wanna be a bush pilot The only fast way to do that is to take your grandson for a spin, find some kid in a tuner (be careful, many of them can beat you) and leave him in your dust!
