Technically I'd say I have way more than 2 projects already! Unfinished basement, unfinished yard, 79 C10, Nova, 69 C20, and now maybe that highboy?! Oh my next project may be sorting out the divorce settlement! What an addiction! If anything it would be a kinda tinker with it and be able to drive it at the same time project. I need something old that I can drive NOW! I'm dying always having to be fuel efficient and responsible!

I know exactly what you mean. I sprouted a full beard and dawned a flannel shirt as soon as I sat in it to take the pictures! I was immediately flooded with old feelings from high school and my truck. Luxuries of new cars are great n all, but the nostalgia and memories that accompany old vehicles, no words can describe it, yet every single one of you know exactly what I'm talkin about.
