Re: Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

I am learning how to spell .......... " L S "

And all things attached to it.....

Today, pick up a "new to me" handyman project that has been waiting for me to get some spare time to get back on the road, after sitting for years.

Re: Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

Nice rig stepside jim.. Please do not post anymore pics, or the Willys will replace the C-10 in the garage...I got the 62 for 125.00 and it is 98% there, Have the original super hurricane plus another one that is in it now. Was thinking on leaving it stock or turning it into something like yours. If it ends up like my Chevy it will will have a BB and a set of Dana 60s..

Re: Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

I really need to get a grip on all our projects. We have WAY to much going on, in addition to the 52 we have a 66 Corvair and a drag boat that my dad is messing with. I have a 69 Camaro that I try to work on in between all my other stuff. My younger brother has a 72 Nova and a Jr Dragster and is currently looking for a dragster for his daughter. The Jr will be sold for her to move up. Wow I'm embarrassed by how ADD I am on all this stuff......is there some sort of 12 step program that I need to look into?

Here are a couple of pictures.

I could only find a picture of my niece from a couple of years ago when she was younger.

Re: Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

Maybe this can be the thread where we talk about our issue and how we can "remedy" it. lol! I vote for more 12 packs and more help, but there is definitely no need for more projects!

Ok that is really cool! I always wanted to do a pedal car or something for my grandson but never got around to it.

One thing about it, we aren't a bunch of people with a narrow focus when it comes to what we are working on.

Fall 2011 : I rebuilt my pick up trailer that I built back in 1977. Stripped it down to the frame, blasted and powder coated it, added a new body, tool box and wiring.

Re: Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

Fall 2012 : Bought a '69 Airstream, Replaced the axles, Pulled the interior to refinish the furniture, replace the flooring and appliances . Then found the sub floor around the edges of the rear bathroom rotted.

Winter 2012 : Wife discovers she has a fast growing tumor that cut off the airway to her right lung, started radiation Jan 2 and Cemo Jan. 15. Fortunately the first shot of radiation started to shrink the tumor and now her right lung is back on line.

All projects on hold as I support her.

G&R... sorry to hear. Hope the situation continues to improve.

No. Beer + help makes it worse. You can't always tell what the outcome will be. And don't set up a vcr with a copy of "Mad Max" to watch between projects...

Re: Sidetracked! What other projects are you working on? Pics!

I'm doing a Mini Cooper with a Honda engine transplant using a kit from Super Fast Minis. Should be painted by next week. Unfortunately my truck has lost its priority. Struggling to motivate myself to finish it.
