I reluctantly ended up with a '74 Dart Swinger (military kid with orders to Korea and a pregnant wife) that had all of the mechanicals done and is in really great physical shape - no rust. The snow is finally gone here so I've started the "finish" work. Interior, repaint the top white and see what I can do about the red on the bottom - that's all it needs.
Soooooo, of course, being stupid, I ended up with another Mopar project - a '46/'47 Plymouth Deluxe Business Coupe. It is the six passenger "fastback" model that a friend started and ran out of money. New frame/Fat Man IFS, airbags, Chevy 10 bold posi, Vintage air, Dakota Digital - you name it, he bought it. The only dumb thing is a 383 Chevy Stroker with a TH350 transmission. It's all in pieces but most of the work has been done. Kind of like a big erector set. Deep down in my soul, I think I bought it for the engine to put in my '93 Chevy Suburban street rod.
Do you think 9 vehicles may be too many? Maybe Obambi the ONE was talking about cars when he asked "when is enough, enough?"
