The 40 is still waiting patiently.
The 47 I need to get fuel tank nuts fabb'ed and Get a hold of the guy with the wheels to set up shipping. I vow to never again deal with this type of seller!
Once I get the wheels, I need to get them blasted and then paint them and get new tires. I was going to go with WWWs, but even with a good guy price they will be almost 800 bucks instead of 335 for cheap radials from Discount tire.
465 will do a lot of other stuff......

Right now I'm actively shopping for a cheap local Dakota donor for the '40 Dodge Coupe. If the right combination falls into my lap, I could hopefully be driving it by the end of Summer!

The Model A runs and drives now, it's loud as heck and shoots flames occasionally out of the lakes headers, but getting it going was the goal I set before I started work on the Dodge. Still a little tuning to do and I want quieter exhaust, but it's a turn key car now!

I'm picking up an engine for my '57 Chebby truck this weekend, so I'll have my junkyard runner back in the next week or so. The engine lost a cylinder a while back, and has been idle for a couple months.

I finished the subframe connectors on the Challenger the weekend before the Mopars North of the Gate show, drove my Challenger there (two hours away one way), ran a best of 13.9 @ 99.7 MPH with a stock 440.

I like my cars like I like my wimmen: rough, old, fast and covered in patches of primer... loud exhaust optional as long as it doesn't smell too bad...

Right now all my projects are on hold as I am working with my father-in-law on getting a 24X40 pole barn built for us to work in. As part of that project we have an old 18X60 mobile home that we are deconstructing to use the roof sections for at least two 18*20 car ports on the back side for the tractor, four wheelers, lawnmowers, etc to be stored.

So for the projects, we have the 50 dodge 5 window stripped down except for the glass and the instrument cluster. I am starting to pound out the dents and remove the undercoating from the front fenders. But its been at a stand still while we try to find a 4X4 dakota with a manual transmission locally to act as a chassis drivetrain donor. We dont have a bed for the truck so we will likely try to pickup or build a flat bed since its just going to end up a farm truck.

I finally found a 2wd Dakota donor for my 1948 Dodge Panel truck, its a 93 so I have to decide if I am going to convert over to the 5 on 4.5 or just keep the 6 on 4.5 on all four corners. There are getting to be more wheel options for the Dakotas so it may work with the 6 lug axles.

I dug into the 39 Plymouth over the last two weekends, I hadnt done much with it since I did the trade to get it from a Member here. So I started pulling all the loose parts out of the interior and really giving it a once over. Not as much body work as I had originally thought in the front sheet metal so I am going to build a table to hold the body while I get back to the chassis. Since it already has a dakota front clip (thanks to Gene) I just need to finish grafting the front cross member back on, do alittle plate re-inforcing for the clip and box the rest of the frame. I think I just gonna run the Dakota rear end with leafs so there isnt much modifying left to do on the chassis. So that means I need to get it blasted and painted (once the pole barn is done that is project number one for me).

So little movement on the projects until the project of getting the place to work on them is wrapped up. then it will be a lot of and it may not all play out in that order.

My 38 Plymouth is JUST SITTING there!!! I managed to get the 5.7 HEMI for it and nothing else lately.

However, I am not sitting on my hands, I have done several gas pump paint jobs and just shot my 1940s coca-cola chest syle cigar humidor last weekend. Not to mention working on the 67 Dart and the 67 Dodge short wide power wagon. I need to get those out of my way.

I am thinking about making a HOT ROD traveling humdor of sorts for taking to shows and selling stogies. I was thinking a old school pick up, like a 20s where the entire bed is a humidor.

Well, I gave "Big Blue" a new coat of paint. I sanded out the brush strokes from the paint job of 3 years ago, patched a rust hole in the corner of the drivers door, did another round of body work to fix the places that bothered me the most. The paint is cheap oil base paint, I sprayed on this round, so in another 3 years I will probably do it again. I can only stand doing body work for a short peroid of time, then its done as far as I'm concerned. Another 3 or 4 rounds of paint and body work and it should look pretty good. Actually it doesn't look too bad this go around, except for a few runs and a few places I saved to do next time. I don't have pictures of the new paint job because its only been done a couple weeks, so here is an old picture. Think of it as being the same color, but smoother and brighter with fresh black trim and several runs in the paint (hey, I'm a welder, not a painter). If I remember, I'll get new pictures up in a day or two. Gene
