Here is the build thread I had going before the rug(garage) got yanked out from under me, I really do have just about everything to finish it except a shop and time. All my tools and equp. are in storage, you shold see my apartment there are parts all over that I have been picking up for the past 6 months or so. I even have a brand new bead roller in the boxes that I got just before it all fell apart.

1957 GMC 4X4 semi

Sadly I had this before I even knew what a "Rat" was or I would have gone a completely different way with it and actually finished it. I had an 85 Chevy diesel 4X4 chassis and a caddy 500 with a 4X4 trans and it would have been killer. But it was too big for one guy to work with (fenders weighed over 70 lbs each) and I lost interest and sold it. Oh well I then had the money to use to build what I now have a 41 Chevy truck. Here it is or was.

 

[deerchooper]

ok its going to cost me some money but ill do it for the team. i see if i can get a semi or two and have them swing by everyones house and pick up 1 each of your problems (car related).

then i can post up all of my projects that arent finished. lol


heres what i got unfinished.

 

[hwscowboy]

I think i'm in as well
1954 pontiac pathfinder special deluxe 4 door-almost done,hopefully running as soon as the spring hits.
A second 54 pathfinder parts car i have to go pick up in the spring.
1954 pontiac pathfinder sedan delivery,it came with the 4 door but needs a total resto.
a second 54 sedan delivery i bought in the fall to hopefully build one out of the two deliveries,still got to trailer home.
2 1968 ford torino fastbacks,not gt cars but still a 302,c-4 car and a 289,c-4 car couldn't let them go to the crusher.
1926 model t sedan-i've owned for about 4 years now.I have a body,2 sets of doors,a spare cowl,a few spare window frames.Custom frame i had built in montana by mr.moms t buckets,390 c-6,9 inch rear from a 68 t-bird.Now i'm saving to buy the drop,axle,4 link rear so i can at least make it a roller this year.
Maybe a second 26 t sedan body i may pick up as it is way more solid than mine,but mine is still saveable just the other would be way less work.
a 50's chevy truck cab and front clip
a early mid 20's chev/pontiac 2 door phaeton sedan,still trying to figure out what it is exactly,but its old,still on wooden wheels,does have a fisher body tag so has to be a gm product of some sort.It and the chev are out on an old farm.I did some work on their new house this fall and after speaking with the owner he said to take them out of there for him.I have to go back in the spring so looks like the trailer will be full coming home.
Now where i'm going to put all this stuff,good thing i have friends with acreages.

[rebstew]

I'm a member. Problem I have is no room. I can't leave one sitting too long 'cause it's in the way. When that happens one too many times I get mad and sell it. Should have kept this one. I drug it to 3 different garages while building it untill I just got fed up with not enough space.

 

[skull]

Should have kept this one

l agree with ya rebstew, the pic of the truck looks like a real nice starting point, Should have kept that one.

lots l regret selling or trading l had at one time too

Later
