E-tek Restorations: PROJECT THREAD

[e-tek]

Thanks Rick. Much appreciated.

To catch anyone up who cares - as well as to prove it's "disease" status....I've now ended up with 2 "new" projects (a 1953 International 4x4 and a 1966 Ford Falcon Convertible), in addition to tying up the Camaro's loose ends (interior, glass, AC, alignment, rear suspension & shakedown), IN ADDITION to my own onging projects (Model T Rod, 71 Datsun/Nissan 240Z..... )

Took delivery on the 53 International Harvester (IH) 4x4 this weekend:

Right to cleanup -

The Falcon arrives next weekend...which should keep me busy for the next 3-4 years....along with dreams of completing my own projects:

those are some sweet projects

It's actually a 1956 International. The only year with that front grill. It's sat so long no one remembered what year it was.

yep you know you have a a problem when you can barely walk through your shop and you think to your self man I have got to get rid of some of this **** and cars. Then the phone rings and someone calls with a great deal and before you think twice your headed home with another project! let me know if you find a cure because I am sick too! by the way nice start to another project!

 

[HOTFR8]

A busy place still. As for your projects they will happen in time.

 

[don long]

The good news is that you are still young and have a lot of juice left to make it all happen.
When You get older like me and you still want to bring home another project just so you can add it to the end of the line you will understand that there is no cure for this disease and you are doomed
Enjoy each day and do what you can. Thats my advice

Goes like snot. What does that mean ? Makes a mess all over the place when you blow your nose ? Must be a thing.

Sounds like you are having fun Ed. Can you post any photos to update us .

Wow, made it through 120 post in 2 days. There is some great info buried in this thread. I'm a fan of your work. I hope you continue to update GJ with your work.

In post 1259 no pictures showed only the "no-entry" symbol.
This has happened too often,. Any idea as to the problem?
By the way I enjoy following along and learning a few tricks.

Looks like the host site has dropped them or they have been removed.

Do you mean a 1965 Ford Falcon Convertible? Ford didn't make a 1966 vert. Either way, would love to see pics.

You're correct: 1965. This is the exact model. Seeing this photo makes me want to get started! (If it weren't for the issues I'm having with my lack of energy...)
