I'm resurrecting this thread. Anyone make any progress with their projects?

My bobber is making some progress, finally; at least got the frame primered!

Jim,
My bobber is done!!

NICE!! Awesome Pan!! Love the wheels, too!

[hotfordcat]

I do have a Land Cruiser I'm working on. 1959 Chrysler Winsor. Should make a great rat rod.






Thanks for the good words Jim. Is that the Shovel project you talked about?

[FB71]

no, I don't have a Shovel. It's most of an '80 and '81 Yamaha XS650. Parallel twin, copy of a Triumph unit engine, wet sump. I'm building the engine now, just stock.

Love the Chrysler, definately a sweet sled!! What's the hump-back parked in front of it? And two cars behind it, is that a Lincoln or a Packard?

[fastivaca]

My Festiva is the project car! I'm going to install some of the B-Quiet sound deadening materials while I'm doing the heater core. I'm also going to put in the A/C I picked up a year or so ago.

Other upgrades coming:
- replace the carpet, installing the rest of the sound deadening stuff (from www.b-quiet.com)
- Mazda 121 head and corner lights (if I can get a grille)
- Power windows
- Remote gas and hatch opener
- Cylinder head being rebuilt, mild port and polish and shaved.
- FMS performance cam
- used "Motavator" brand header

I hope to get started on some of the rust repairs that are cropping up too.

Humpback is a 38 Pontiac, green car is an Olds ,and the last one is a Packard. Now I remember, you did say Yamaha in the old post.

I recently picked up a 1986 Audi 4000cs quattro for a rally-x project car. It needs some work but progress is being made every day. cant wait to get i on the dirt : )

[shorestiva]

as soon as the festy is done I bought a built 3000gt motor to go in my conquest. It should fit just gotta make a trans adapter and custom manifolds so the turbos and shock towers don't try to occupy the same space.

[hotfordcat]

Yes it is. 413 big block 727 torqueflite, and 3:91 posi rear. Can you say " 4400lbs Land Yacht "?

[worfdog]

Here is one of my non-Festiva projects. 1962 Willys pick-up, 4 wheel drive, 8000 pound PTO winch. Hope to paint it this year, if my health gets better.
