What do you have, 3 projects going on at the same time? I couldn't even imagine that, being I have a difficult time with one.

John with just three projects going at once? Surely you jest! How about it John? There's the Rancher, the Mustang and at least two, maybe three Vicki Nova projects in various stages. What did I miss?

I always thought those were cool little trucks and this will right in there.

62 Rancher, 71 Mach 1, 69 AMX, 57 Chev Bel-Air and the 59 Apache, 67 GTO, 73 Challenger plus the 92 GMC 454 Box truck...thats only 8 things....

You might be pushing it with the box truck unless the project there is to keep the critters and wasps from taking up residence in it. The others listed above I will vouch for as I have seen them all. Even went with you to pick up the motor for the GTO.... I'll still allow you claim to eight projects because if you haven't forgotten one then you will have picked another one up by the end of the month.....

rebuilt the EFI on that 454....still gotta drain the fuel tank...still has water in the line.....

Yep, you have a lot of projects going there. I was looking at 3 of them but didn't see the others. Keep up the progression, sounds like you need a time out!

Changed the oil, pulled the plugs (all look good), installed the speedo cable, measured the drive shaft, having one made tomorrow, hope to have most of it finished this weekend....

The Yoke is one me....Riggs had carrier bearing issues, B&T had me change my rear yoke so they can make a new drive shaft, I am heading to SEMA Monday afternoon, so it will take me to Thanksgiving to finish the Chero back to a driver...

they just wouldnt change em out... idk, all 3 still sit in the same spot i left them on the shelf lol

Motor dam dude sold me in Lexington KNOCKS....anybody got a good running 6 cly? 170-200, I may just pull it and re-bearing it....

i wanna go to sema

Put a 347 in it. That'd make it a nice little hauler, you already have the 5 spd. You could make a real Hot Rod out of at least one of the many cars you have instead of just restoring them. That might be why you're having trouble shipping them.

How many passes do you/ can you get to SEMA, or do you get them thru someone else?
