    If you say you are going to have it done by spring, you are running out of time.
    Merry Christmas!

    I just keep telling myself it's not the destination but the journey. Although I can't wait to be able to drive it.

    If no year is stated what's the harm? Lyndwood 20 years '30 Roadster project started in 1962. Merry Christmas, Happy 2012!:)
     
  9. in your case; no decade or for that matter century.:D
     
  10. I've seen a lot of springs come and go. My friend started at ground zero last summer on a T coupe. He has a better chance of driving it this spring than I have on mine. The longer mine stays in the shop the less chance some daft lady takes it out on the road or some thief steals it. That's, my glass is half full and I'm sticking to it.

    Have been working out in the garage this week as I get two weeks off at Christmas. Got the torque tube and driveshaft shortened to the correct length. Got the Vega box mounted today. Will start back on it Monday. May be have it on the road this spring.

    Too damned cold out in the garage for me now,.....but Katy bar the door as soon as it warms up,....I'll have most of my parts gathered up by then, lots of cash, and every single day will be a Saturday!
    I hope to have a chopped 27 Coupe running by late summer, with a second project already in the works.

    I guess I hit a nerve with this post. I just took a working truck and tore the front off of it. Heidst IFS on the way. Lots to do and I know how time will fly. Glad to hear I am not the only one pumping to get done.

    i am trying to be on the road by april... i have alot to learn before i will be on the road!!! let alone do the work...
     
  24. Funny stuff there.

    I wanted my Hudson to be ready for it's new powertrain this spring but took on a friends '57 Ranchero instead to make some extra cash for the Hudson. The ranchero just needs massaged back to life so it shouldn't take to long. Just needs the typical stuff as a result of sitting too long. Gaskets, brakes, fluids, tune-up, fuel pump, blah, blah, blah. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.

    Pulling the rear end this week and building the 9 inch for the chevy. I also need to order the 5 speed tremec. Next year is going to be the shit. I am planning on driving the 55 with my new bride from Canada right across to California to see a buddy from school who now lives there. Will post more about this later on. Merry Christmas!
