Bets are the one thing that always get my attention.

We had a big loss in our family this past year as well as a challenging time dealing with the big C here too. Just happy to be moving forward and soon putting 2024 behind us. 2025 is the year both my projects roar to life.

Got a wager in mind?

Terry hope whoever has/ had the big C is ok.

I wish. The old project budgets do not allow such these days. Doing things the way I like always made things tough financially. Especially with the wife watching! Now with two going on simultaneously its even harder. Plus I still have one in college draining the wallet.

I still go back and forth on powerplant for the truck. One day its Godzilla the next Coyote. To be honest, Coyote is likely where I end up. I can snag an engine/trans pullout and the stuff needed to complete it for about what the Godzilla engine alone would cost me. And seeing as how last summer I put maybe 200 miles on the mustang REALLY hard to convince myself spending another $25k vs $15k to get the truck rolling to drive less than a 1000 miles a season makes any sense.

Been mainly focused on the coupe. Not a ton of hours available but I am slowly getting through the subframe and new floor fabrication for the old Model A. Then need to wrap up a few lower body panels before I can break out the saw and chop it. I'm still trying to convince myself I like this part of a project but I'm realizing that is BS. I love the creative aspects but it takes far too long and makes too much of a mess. I spend more time cleaning up than working it seems. Be glad when I'm past it.
 
I hear you, I seem to be working on mine more than driving them. Spent a full day trying to remove a stripped torx head bolt from the Monaro. In their wisdom GM used a torx head bolt for the hard to get at air con belt pulley. Every other bolt around it is normal. At least in your case it's meaning/ gratifying work


Impressive performance from the coyote and Godzilla development.
 
Anyone can do a Coyote.......even {.}

I am great at spending other people's money so I really think the Megazilla is the way to go.

I have more budget than I have time lately, but I hope to get back into the shop soon and get my Bronco chassis back on its wheels.
