    Falcon I hear you on the cost issues, I sort of approach the truck like vacations, working on it when there is money for it! Since I'm not in a hurry, I don't mind the wait, but would like the garage space back from all the disassembled parts lying around!

    I would love to have another garage to store finished cars in. It is to easy to mess up a finished car by working on a project .....been there and done that more than once

    I wish I had the time and $ to finish and store just 1 project. This past year+ has been putting out 1 fire after another coupled with family obligations. Looks like the 34 will be waiting till after our move to Idaho, hopefully before the end of the year.

    I hear you guys when you say about (a) money, the lack of the unspoken for funds to spend on toys, (b) garage space, why does a T Bucket take up more space when all I have done is turn it around so that I can work on the drivers side. Either the garage has got smaller or I really need to go on a diet real quick. (c) family commitments, as you may recall, I am the care giver for my Mum who has Dementia and heck, that is a 24/7 full on job at most of the time and it shocks me at times just how mentally worn out I get, so time out in the garage working on the Bucket seems to have declined which frustrates me at times, but family first eh.
    I like the idea of the white paint job because it seems everybody goes for the " In " colors so this will be refreshing.


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    My wife picked the white paint for the same reasons you said. I do like it; with white/red interior I think it will look pretty sharp. I usually build my cars on the cheap using a lot of boneyard parts but we wanted this one to be really nice so we'd rather wait until we can afford to buy the stuff she wants on it. I'll keep building my cheap heaps for myself in the meantime.

    Falcon,

    The coupe is looking good. I have plans to get paint on my 48 shortly. Will be going white with mine as well but more along the lines of the Chrysler 300 vanilla white. Going with bone colored pleated inserts with saddle tan trim for the interior.

    Wanted the off white rather than pure white especially for the interior due to the upkeep.

    Keep going looking forward to seeing your progress.

    I'm not sure about the rest of you (I like to think we all feel the same), but there seems to be one reason or another that we can't/don't get to work/finish/drive our projects-

    For me personally (and you might think I'm crazy), but I work in a different State than I live-first off, this takes a Wife that is amazingly strong and able to be happy by/with herself (and a passel of Grandkids doesn't hurt!-heck, she has her own Hobbies-we get a House full of Grandkids in two weeks for "Grandma Kamp").

    Secondly, they simply pay me too much to NOT to be here, so, my problem isn't a money thing, it's a time thing (I simply don't have enough of it)-I am getting closer to Retirement so this won't go on for too much longer though-

    While this sounds great (it isn't always perfect for certain), it can be frustrating to know that your project is just sitting there and the hold up is YOU (and it seems like Friday will NEVER get here to go Home and work on the "other" Mistress (as my significant other would say) .

    So, I can completely understand the Money thing (and empathize with it), but the reverse is also agonizing-it's great to be a Gearhead though, isn't it?

    Yes it is! I guess we all have those projects where we get a little case of ADD. It WILL get finished! But somehow I also just ended up with a 49 Plymouth business coupe.............

    I like that term "ended up with"-I use it on the Wifey all the time (and sometimes it works, sometimes not -on the not side, it almost always costs me (usually some sort of trip with the Grandkids or that latest Scrapbooking gadget)-

    Oh yeah; no doubt she's making a payback list as we speak.
