Hot Rods projects in the wings

I suspect most of us have projects waiting in the wings for future attention.
here's my 32 DeSoto 3 window and my 54 International shortbed...
What do you have?

 

I have both of my Buicks.

 

I pulled off this to get my V8 Corvair on the road. It has a fresh 30 over 283 with 4 - 97’s , 5 speed and a 3:55 posi. It should be a hoot to drive

 

These two are still 250 miles away. Hopefully retrieving the roadster Tuesday.

Brookville on OE rails, 59AB, 37 trans and rear, 34 x-member. My old sedan now identifies as a roadster.


41 pickup, Pete & Jake frame, 330 Desoto, TH350, Bronco 9”rear, CE front to rear.



40’s sprint car, Es*** rails, aluminum body, full pressure B with Alexander OHV, AR trans and steel multi disc clutch with cutdown flywheel, Franklin steering, V8-60 axle

 

37 Pontiac altered project Geronamo.

61 Biscayne Mint To Be

 

Main one just waiting in the corner right now. Sort of working on all the rest.

 

cool, you guy's got some neat projects...

 

My 56 Chevy wagon is coming up next.

 

Ibhotrod, both nice Chevies

 

I think @rusty1 needs another project in the wings?

 

Here's 3 of several, in no particular order:
Chopped '36/'37 Chevy truck. 327 +.040, Duntov cam, 3-speed manual.

'31 Vicky. Probably use my '49 Merc eng/trans.

'40 DeLuxe coupe. Planning on using a '60 394 Olds/auto.

 

..I would like to have that 41....

 

This 33 Ford Project project has been in the wings for ever. Just been collecting parts.

 

you might remember this one that I bought from you many years ago. I finished the top and doors and had it ready for paint. Then a friend asked me to sell it to him and an offer that I couldn’t refuse. I see it at some of our local shows.

 

I have a 1960 Ford C700 and a '63 Ford Fairlane waiting for me to finish up my '51 Ford F1.

So many hot rods, and so little time....

 

Cool stuff.

I'm not sure why, but I often enjoy seeing the unfinished cars... the projects in the wings or the ones being worked on... more than I do the cars that are finished. Maybe it's the promise of what's to come? Maybe the idea of from whence they come. Definitely a lot to do with the effort and diligence and artistry and vision displayed.

I just like the garage scene.

 

I have this one that is always waiting for more improvements. But it is running and racing.

 

Here’s some inspiration for your old International truck I did the speedometer and final calibration after he finished this gem .

 

@rusty1 I like your DeSoto coupe. I have a Plymouth. It's at the top of my list, but I guess you could say it's in the wings if that means not working on it yet. Gotta get the shop finished.

 

Yeah, I remember that very well,...good to know what happened to it.

Nea stuff posted, keep em coming.

 

My '40 project

 

any more?

 

I have one waiting in the wings.
I'm aging out here and wondered how cool would it be if my LAST BUILD was of my FIRST hot rod, that I built in 1969 at 17 years old...'48 Chevy 283/3spd...that is if the car still existed and if I could find it.


It took a couple years of sleuthing, and I finally did find it still existed (sort of) and was only about 75 miles away... and after all these years, it still had the registration/***le in MY NAME...but YIKES...it was used as a "parts car" for another build.


It now sits in my brother-in-law's barn and for the last 5 years I've been collecting parts for the build, including a complete '48 Chevy coupe parts car.
Now all I need is to conjure up enough ambition to build it before my expiration date. LOL

 

we picked this up a few years back and not sure when or what to do with it

 

my 54 IH , started on it but now it waits,,,

 

My '49 Anglia. Patiently waiting for me to wrap up my champ car project.

 

My wife's 53 willys. It desperately needs love.

 

That's a cool looking truck. HRP
