    It's a disease, I tell you. With six projects in the shop now, I bought another yesterday. I'm sitting here thinking "what am I doing?" I need some type of medication to dispel this hideous disease.

    The only benefit was this one was so cheap I bought it sight unseen from craigslist. It's complete including all trim and was another persons imcomplete project. Here it is:

    Plans? No idea right now. I'm thinking dropped to the ground with a hopped up inline 6. Many months before that gets started though.

    Welcome to the club, I'm working on a '53 wagon right now.
     
  8. wow! you need a couple surfboards!!:D looks like a great start..
     
  9. I know what ya mean...I have 3 projects going now (54 plymouth 2 door wagon, 63 riviera, 48 chevy coupe)...picking up a 46 chevy pickup tomorrow and almost bought a 48 willys wagon (only 500 bux, 2 wd and it was straight) but decided enough was enough...it's a constant juggle as to where to allocate the next batch of funds and time...both of which are in short supply...but hey your wagon is cool...drop it, do a dual carb intake with some fentons and toss a couple of longboards on the longroof and call it good...congrats!

    I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. I'm thinking it's the same with your disease...
