Hot Rods Your Stalled, Unfinished or future projects... Lets see them

34 Ford Pickup in my possession for over twenty years. Built a bunch, worked on a lot more, just keep overlooking this one.

 

My case of salt fever has flared up again and both of these are not as interesting as they once were, both for sale.

 

Been sitting in storage since 2012

 

While I have been battling a lot of health problems this year I've been toying with the idea of building a mild street car/gasser looking '54 Ford coupe, I have located a reasonable priced rolling project, I have a engine & transmission and honestly think I can do it going slow and hitting the swap meets and the Hamb classifieds.

A " Budget Beater" . HRP

 

I'm messing around with two distractions and an off topic race car. She's in storage waiting her turn.

 

I took this apart 13 years ago to paint it...



And now it's still sitting in the back corner getting more and more buried

 

my son Joshua's 57 ford wagon. he died in 2007 and before he died he took the car apart to redo it. I traded our 60 caddy to Josh's boss to do the body n paint but he never did anything to it. He got the caddy and I was lucky to get the 57 back. now it just sits in my garage and i have no desire to do any work on it. I wish I did but I just don't. Here is Josh in 2002 when he was 16 and then when he was 19

 

That is heart breaking sir. I am so sorry-

 

Sorry for your loss of your son, the “ person” that employed him sounds like a total dirt bag

 

Someone must be chopping onions around here cause my dad told me boys don’t cry. Sorry for your loss brother

 

My condolences , RIP Josh.
I also lost a child, my daughter in 21. I’ve been working on an OT car that was kinda of our project. Some days Heather’s spirit prompts me to work on the car some days some days not. I try to envision what she would do or say as I’m doing something on the car. Heather was a very good artist, when I finish the paint I will try to replicate some of her art work somewhere on the car. Hopefully you will become inspired to work on the wagon, everything in its own time.
Take care my prayers are with you and your family.
Dan

 

Ratster and sharpone, my condolences on losing a child. That would be devastating for sure. Would be nice to have a Hamb garage squad that goes around helping others that are stalled, or it’s too emotionally painful to work on a project by yourself. That show has helped a lot of people with similar situations.

 

I understand your pain @ratster. My youngest son passed in 2015. I guess I should feel lucky though, I had my son for approx 15 years more than you had yours. My JR was in is 30's. So, setting in my garage is his 50 Olds. I'm sure I'll get around to it sometime. Retirement is only a couple years away, hopefully time will loosen up them.

 

Sorry forgot some pictures

 

I'm with you @flamedabone looks good in the picture but it's a POS! That made me laugh

 

Don’t tap out, you’ve made a lot of progress...
Was the motor running ok when you pulled it?
