Been a work in progress for 2 years. Aiming for a mid 12 second sleeper. Currently putting a 9" diff together for it.

Still lots to do....

My "Other" project. Started around 8 years ago, sold my half of it to my brother last year. I couldn't hang with the upkeep anymore, the mopar is enough upkeep as it is! haha. It now has an LS motor and Th400. In this pic it was a boosted 22re, around 225hp on 91 pump gas.

Started literally with a frame. It's back halfed now like this pic. Fun times for sure! Just so much money and the fab work involved is way beyond my skill level.

A friend of mine and I would love to do one of those... but it is way beyond my financial ability.

Traded my FJ in for a BRZ. Wife has some health issues that has put her in too much pain for the off road and camping life any more.

Except that the Dodge is winning the mod race!

Until I saw that 2nd pic, I was ready to post WTF is that??  :lol:
BTW, in case you didn't know, Subaru spelled backwards is U-r-a-bus. Sooo...nice bus. :icon_smile_big:


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

My project (light project) today was my Townie. Oil change & plugs, then off to snap some pics at an old Sinclair station 40~ish miles south of me. Good thing I wasn't running on fumes, because they were closed for the day when I arrived.  :D

 Sinclair to me means a Murderer.  Google his name 1940's UK.

Charger_Fan

I guess you'll have to elaborate a bit more, because I can't find where the Sinclair oil company, or Harry Sinclair himself (the founder) had murdered anybody.

Now if you're talking about Archibald Sinclair, who has absolutely nothing to do with the Sinclair oil company, except to share the same last name...then yes, that guy may have murdered someone at some point. Probably during the war. However, since he has absolutely nothing to do with the Sinclair oil company, I don't see how you can equate the Sinclair name on an old gas station to murder.

But if that is the case, then you may as well say that Lyndon B. Johnson to you means hotels. Because Howard Johnson's is a hotel chain & they share the same last name.:slap:

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Lol...well Sir Clive Sinclair did try and murder personal transportation design in the UK with the C5 for a while back in the 80s....!

Archibald Sinclair ruined that name. Oil or not.

Those old Fords are tough as nails. I used to beat on mine daily for a number of years and it never missed a beat.

Is it a 351c?

My stable has grown this year.  Ok, they are Midgets, but I'm only in to them for $950 for all 4 cars plus an additional $625 for an additional hood, 2 doors, fender, engine, trans, bumpers, and a box full of carb rebuild kits.  I now have all the drivetrain, wheels, body panels, replacement sheetmetal, and other major parts to make 3 cars out of the 4.  Would take about $15k to buy all other misc parts to finish the 3 (interiors, trim, etc.) as DIY projects.

Seems these are about 1/60th the price of Chargers right now.  I plan on finishing and keeping the '70 which is the one on the rotisserie.  The others are fix up a bit and sell.  Here's an idea when done what to expect.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFaj5lDaBN0

Homer, what are the MG hardtops worth?  My wife's grandpa sold his MG a couple years ago (not sure what year his car was, but looked nearly identicle to the ones you posted), but the buyer didn't want the hardtop.  He offered it to me, but I habe zero use for it other than to try and sell it.

Got a free 70's MTD riding mower and was able to get it running without too much effort. Now, trying to decide if I should flip the drive pulleys, remove the deck and race it, or turn it into a driveway grader.
