Maybe February 31st ?   Okay,  I'll play!

Amen!  I just retired, left the job because I'd had enough of the above.  I'd be working on something important like the Corporate Security Plan, and I'd get one of those "bring me a shrubbery" demands with a totally unrealistic 

 

Thank you for giving me a much needed laugh.

Got this one finished up. Nissan skyline 2000 gt-r. Did it as a restomod with a color change, wheels and tires, and motor hop up parts.

Looking good TJ!

[JollySipper]

It's waaaaaay too windy to paint anything today..... I was wanting to work on the interior some. Instead, I made some seat inserts from styrofoam plate material.....

 

[slusher]

very nice TJ!

I don't see the need for that. Anyone want to weigh in on including a list?

[JollySipper]

He said no list unless someone decides to take it upon themselves.

Lindberg 225 Slant headed for a 1978 Dodge D100, ex municipal unit.

[Chuck Most]

Ex municipal Dodge in question...

[Chuck Most]

D100 is wrapped up, it's in light commercial Under Glass now.

[Chuck Most]

This seems to be crying out for a 223. Gonna have to see if I can find my Kitchen Table version or maybe modify a Chevrolet 250.

[Chuck Most]

Sorry sports fans, the '60 has a Y Block. Consider the 223 idea filed away for another project.

[Chuck Most]

Dug out a couple old projects,both based on the AMT '50 Chevrolet 3100.

This one has the 250 from the street machine version of the '60 C10 Apache. I flipped the intake around to clear the firewall but otherwise it's out of the box. Same can be said about the chassis it's in, the 1950 street machine kit. Would be nice to finally finish this one.

Fisher cross flow head from the '51 Bel Air hardtop (I think???). If I choose to keep it in the 3100 it would require a little clearancing to the firewall. Might see if I can find the Vampire Van cab I turned into a '32 Chevrolet pickup cab and use it in that.

[slusher]

looking good Chuck!

[Chuck Most]

Did a little work on the repowered '50 for the first time in several years.

 

Interior floor, firewall, and inner fenders are attached. 

 

Wheels are old Plastic Performance Products six lug deep steelies, with hollow AMT narrow whites. Had to adjust the position of the front wheels for somewhat better stance and fit.

[Chuck Most]

Found a Ford 300 I forgot I had. I think I have a project for it.

[Chuck Most]

The 300 was fitted with a "homemade" turbo and EFI setup and has been nestled into a ninth generation F150.
