how you do projects when their is to many ?
take a suppose project out of storage after over 15 go at the shop get the mechanical fitness done and just drive it ................you say paint ? not required for mechanical ......and you end up with a perfect loser car
I might be starting a '51 Ford project soon - maybe. Plans are to roll it in, order parts, strip it, build it and drive it out early spring 2014, maybe.

Sold the Fiat... sold the 54 Chevy..all within 5 hours of each other.,,son picked up a very nice 64 chevy2, so I guess after redoing his and my daughters engines we will be onto that
Rear cab mount was rotten/collapsed. In the process now of digging out the fiberglass to see how far the rot goes. With all the previous fixes and patch panels I think it may get a complete new floor.
Thinking I may have the cab sandblasted (or some sort of media blasting) but I'm not sure if that's a good idea..
When it's already taken apart this far ..... It's a GREAT idea!!!!

Started the body on the 67 Cutlass, I started with the drivers side fender which had to be changed out due to some poor metal work at some earlier time of its life. I think that side had been scraped against something once upon a time as the damage starts just behind the door and goes forward.

Working on our 51 HenyJ. Body off and bad frame put under the 53 HJ. 53 frame being fitted with the running turbo V6 and 350 trany out of my buddy's 80 Regal. Have trany mount done now getting ready to fab up the engine mounts.
This is the 53 sitting on the bad frame with a straight axle underneath
