200 mph club at Bonneville.


That's all.


Construction starts next year.

 

As for racing the Trident, are you familiar with AHRMA (ahrma.org)?

 

Spend a day working with plowboy on a true freak machine. Build a car start to finish with my son, oh yea and rescue every trashed out pile of crap that I can find.

 

Mine's easy.....I just want to drive these 2 cars. I've had the 68 Mustang since the 70s and the Cyclone since the 80s. I've never driven either one.....but now that my kids are nearing college I may have some time to work on them.

 

Just thought of another goal...
Build my own '31 Coupe on Duece rails!

 

Bonneville, what else.

Set up my shop in a decent sized building with plenty of headroom and room to spread out.

Build a fenderless sedan with a flathead straight 8, with 30s to 50s parts.

Get my other projects completed to the point where I am happy with them.

But Bonneville.

 

Live>

 

own ECTO from ghostbusters. The movie warped me as a kid, and I will always want it. Hopefully before I go I can build one.

Kinda dumb I know, but everyone has their Eleanor.

 

​

yep.. what's left anyway

 

Go to G-N-R-S a couple of days early, and stay a couple of days after. Eat at bobs, cruise van nuys, check out a couple of shops, and get some shirts. Go to one of bad bob's "photo shoots"...cruise route 66(where you can).go to vegas, and bet it all on black......

 

Just want to go 200+ in a car. Been 150+ on a bike but I told my wife if I haven't done it before I die then I want my ashes blown out of a chute on a 200+ pass. Is that asking too much?

 

Cross country road trip with my wife. Stopping to visit HAMBers along the way. I have a list of museums etc I'd love to visit.

 

I've always wanted to get ahold of a complete basket case, something no one else would even attempt 'cause it wouldn't even be worth it, something thats been abandoned in the weeds for 50 years, and build it up myself and when I'm done drive it cross country.

 

"We only think we have enough time", is something an older friend recently told me. It has helped me to appreciate every minute of my life and those around me. It seems universal that most of us want to finish projects, drive em' and go on road trips. My quests are similar, build the ultimate garage to work on the lifelong gathering of cool cars. The garage will have a Cracker Barrel themed interior, wood and a fireplace in the finished area, the working area will be well lit and organized with a coffee pot! Soon to be retired I dream of the day when I will have more time with the wife and kids. I want to one day go to a car show with each of my sons and wife driving their own hot rod and park side by side, there will be six of us, family and cars, unsurpassed!
