Did you finally get your project on the road in 2012?

yep i did ! lots of trying moments in the build but all worth it and the perfect summer for it w not much rain ! now onto my 55 f 100

 

I'm with you Harley John...I don't have that much time left.!! How DO you guys do it...3,6,8,9,18,30 years to build a car...I run out of patience after 1 year..lol of course I have had a new car every year, buy, sell, fix, drive...but sure can't go that long.. I do understand, every one of us, has LIFE get in the way...kudos to those of you that do that..

 

That just looks soooooooooooooooo right!!!

 

I got my 48 Plymouth coupe on the road in April. Put about 4,000 miles on it this summer. In about a month it coming back in to get some more stuff fixed that was ignored so I could drive it through the summer.
Been in process for 2 years, junk coupe body on a Dakota frame means a lot of effort, but not exactly HAMB friendly. The car is suppose to represent an early 60s dirt track racer. Had a number done with a black marker last summer, more body work and maybe fresh paint for this year, maybe. Gene

 

Not complete but finally got my Henry 5-window running and driving after about 4 years. Went through 2 Taylor-Vertex HEI distributors in a month. Been getting the run around from Taylor-Vertex since August 2012, not sure when it will run again. Taylor-Vertex says they are working on new prototypes but not very hard.

 

Road, no. Salt, HELL YES!!

 

Yes, 7 yrs later is on the road. I'll take some pictures soon. I have a Rod Shop guy near me he got the timing & 700R4 issues straighten out. OMG does it run, I think it now needs POSI rear. He was driving it around for a couple weeks I just need to fix a couple of paint divets and realigned the hood.

 

Lack of funds, VERY patient wife and more then one car helps.

 

How true,,and of course,,life gets in the way every now and then. HRP

 

Technically it hit the road in the summer of 2011:


Not without some trials . . .




But LOTS of smiles . . .


But it made it's official debut in the spring of 2012 with it's fresh tuck & roll:





But they're never really "done." The flatty gave up the ghost in the fall, so it'll be getting a fresh rebuild . . . with a few goodies this winter.

 

One of the coolest Hot Rods the hit the Road in 2012! HRP

 

My favorite sedan !!
