What other Car projects that are non Mopar does anyone have going on right now?

14 gauge sheet metal, same as bumper was made of.
I see, that's what I thought. This looks doable for me and I might be posting pics soon of a new bumper...

Nice, I can't leave anything alone, I'm going to start a build thread this week. Let me know if I can help.
 
Looks very good Ugk! Now I bought to brand new bumpers last year for my 67 which I will not touch but I may play with the oe's...
I've always liked the turn signals in the 68 mustangs, round and "frenched".....hmmmm....?????......

If I remember correctly, the bezel mounts on the outside of the valence on the mustang. Mite be difficult to French, there are alot of lights to pick from that are round. I use exhaust pipe when I French lights. All post bumper pics after my lights are in.

Now that's an idea...
 
N series Ford tractors AKA money pits.
 
The fella I got my IH from has a 8N sitting there waiting for a savior....
 
This one got dropped off on friday at work. Its a 37 Chrysler Airflow. Looks to be in good shape, other than four flats, and the first take is to get it running since its been sitting for many years. I'm not on this one yet since its been given to one of my co-workers. I also wrapped up a shifter issue on a 43 Ford MB/GPW, aka WWII Jeep. No pictures of that one though. It makes me smile as I'm working on stuff from my youth.

Very cool car Ckessel!
 
I need a re-education of things Mopar. I never knew there was a straight 8 made. When I first popped the hood, I thought it was a six. Back to school!
 
Shipped the Camaro off last week (Yey), now wrapping up this 39 Ford Standard. Ford in a Ford, 351 Windsor powered. Moving along on a 34 Dodge 4 door we nicknamed Frankindodge (built from many pieces, glad it's finally in primer), this on will have a 360, 727 driveline.

Even the jambs look nice on the Ford from what I can see. Thats an area that usually gets missed. Slick work.
 
Here's a car project that will never be finished, but it is up and running and I drive it occasionally back and forth to work. Great gas mileage and the turbo makes things interesting. 86 Omni GLH-T with a 2.4 DOHC swap

70rr4spd, that GLH will be a fun ricer killer. At the MATSLV show there is a guy that runs one which if I remember correctly runs 10's/11's on the 2.2/2.5 turbo with ratty dead paint. Very stealty! My long term Camaro got dropped off yesterday for a no start issue for me to figure out next week. Not due to me thankfully! This thing was an empty shell when I got tasked with it. It did have suspension, engine and trans in but otherwise empty. No interior, empty doors, had to wire it, plumb it etc. Body/paint had been done elsewhere. The owner had taken it apart, sent it to body shop limbo, got it back, went through a divorce, started to put it together then bailed. Some of the old boxed parts he brought me were not even for this car. Found that out during assembly. The body shop he had it at boned him. Best part of this deal is I've never touched a Camaro before, had to put one together that someone else took apart and getting my boss to get me literature to try and figure things out with were like trying to squeeze blood out of a turnip. I did finally get some books as I told the service writer if you want this thing done while we are still alive you better fetch me some books. Oh, and my boss and the car owner agreed on taking only a month to put it together. 7 months later it was done. Very optimistic estimate that 30 days was! I like it when I can work on my Mopar and can cleanse myself of the GM/FORD Cooties from the days endeavors.
