Who here has a vehicle that they dump money in for a hobby? I personally have a 79 CJ7 Golden Eagle that I tinker with. Right now I have it running strong AMC 304 with a Turbo 400 Tranny, and holley proinjection throttle body. It's pretty much stock except I have 4 inch lift and run 33's. I use it as a daily driver for now so can't get too crazy as it needs to run the next day so I can get to work. I plan on adding ABS lockers, custom seats, rollbars, redo exhaust system, 4:10 gears, add a winch and hard top for winter time. I love to throw in my guns and take a ride and go diggin to pass time.
Anybody else have any project?

You might want to talk to Crazyhorse. He's been working on his Rustang for about 6 years now.

I've got a '68 Mustang Coupe that i've been working on for a few years now. I don't have the time or money to do a ground up restoration like Crazy.
Here's a few pics of it.....

My 1994 GT is my project car in a way. When I have the money and another daily driver, it's getting a whole new engine and suspension, although I haven't decided what combo I'll be using.

I'm looking at doing a 61-64 Eldorado down the road. Looking for the right unit now. My plan is to finally detail OF1 out this summer. I've had alot of people ask me is the bus done and my response to them is a bus conversion is never done.

What else is left besides maintaining OF1? It looks great from the pictures.

I have a 69 Early Bronco Rockcrawler that Im making some changes to. I just added disc brakes to the rear, and am moving the rear 10" back and building a 4link with coilovers for the rear, as well as coilovers for the front and narrowing the hood/grill by 9 inches. It has a 351 Lightning EFI engine, built a bit, c4 tranny, Atlas tcase, Dana 60 front end, full floater 9", 40" Irok tires on alumimun beadlocks, custom cage, etc..
I have a 70 Bronco that Im in the process of putting back together for my wife to drive. Hoping to add EFI to it and a few other things over the next couple months..
I have another 69 bronco that will go back to being stock next year...

I like the old school broncos and plan to buy one in the next year or so. I would like a 67. Sounds like you have a couple.

Yup, have 3 now. They are getting fairly pricey but I love em. Great rigs with some character. I would like to pick up one more before too long, have a couple of stockers and resto them and store them somewhere.

Caddies! I finally saved enough $ to get ground restoration for my 59 CDV Caddy but thought to save for some investment property when so many go into foreclosure. Many here are doing it themselves, I am getting it done.

69' bronco
cummins 4bt diesel, nv4500, atlas transfer case, 42" irok tires, 9"/Dana 60F 9"/14bolt hybrid rear... been workin on it since i bought it in 02 and might have 300 miles on it cause i'm doing the diesel swap for the last 2 years and before that was the 4 link suspension and transmission, tcase and wiring. Trying to make it somewhat of a daily driver so it looks alot like the monster garage bronco.
34 Ford Pick up rat rod
