That Bronco in the pic has been a project for almost 14 years now. Other projects come and go...but this one has always been picked at on the side. So 2 years is pretty fast for me. ;-p I did manage to complete the '47 Harley U, start to finish, in about 9 months...probably a record for me that will stand the test of time and never be beaten.

I think your real issue is CORONA ;-)

Their older style 12-pack boxes are perfect for storing engine and other vehicle parts; those are filled with valve train components, pistons, etc. Unfortunately, some years ago they cheapened the boxes and deleted the re-useable top. ;-(

But Corona still keeps the projects moving along. "Progress Lubrication".

They may be on to something there. IF you brought in "better beer" you may elicit more help and finish projects earlier. Didn't one of your employees allude to this fact in some previous posts? :razz:

I am continuously working on my 2 Mustang II's. Both were in bad shape when I got them. The 78 King Cobra just got on the road this fall after 2 years of weekends busting my butt fixing a ton of previous owners hack/dangerous "fixes". The 74 Ghia was cleaned and tuned up and put on the road a couple of years ago but will be going under the knife this summer for new rear quarter panels and paint. Its has $300 Macco paint job from previous owner now. Try finding parts for these unloved Mustangs. The 74 is different from the 75-78s and the King Cobra is 78 only with less than 1500 T-tops made.

There's some foam in that bottle, so I have my doubts about how smooth that engine is running..... :coffee:
