My '64 fairlane keeps calling me but no more starts until I finish something, anything, well maybe 90%, usually ends up being usable and we move on...

Failed or on hold projects:
'68 fairlane 500 fastback, 48K miles haven't done anything with it bought in '91, driven about 2000 miles since. Want to 390, 4sp buckets and console, disc brakes etc.

'69 Mustang fastback, in peices at my friend farm welded to a car trailer, part scattered all over the house and garage and the car itself is full of parts. Bought '91, resto started '96, yes on hold for 14 years...

'55 TO35 Ferguson, in peices on hold, friend lost the inst cluster with the SN. Parts in shed, tractor is in paint, waiting on motivation (three years and counting)

'71 F250 6.9 / ZF5 swap done, cab 80%, bed was trashed, at the farm waiting for some other stuff to get finished so I can do a engine and cab swap onto my '70 F350 dually (2 years and counting)

'70 F350, waiting on time, aluminum flat bed, want to make dump. Cab and engine swap.

'64 fairlane 500 (T-bolt clone) waiting

'90 Alumacraft 1448, extended the nose a foot, installed a '95 Seadoo Xp drive 50+mph in 5" of water. 60% done, needs floors and carpet etc.

I need to go do something...

My top 3 choices are:
1970-1975 Ford CrewCab
1960-1965 Lincoln Continental
1965 Ford Thunderbird

However, my guess is that chances of acquiring any of these projects are about 0.00001% :lol: The CrewCab is the most realistic choice, so I'll give that a 0.00002 chance :lol:

Yeah, that's kind of my sentiments too. I started the '69 and realised I sucked at bodywork. I also have ADD and Craiglist has really gotten it going bad. I'm working on my '52 Logan lathe refurbishment and I have a friends F450 wrecker doing a 6bt swap and he just dropped off his New Holland skid loader with a cracked and failing boom. So I do a little here, a little there and slowly get things closer to being done.
