Hi, I'm Marc and I'm a procrastiholic.
They say the first step in addressing your problems is admitting you have a problem. So in an effort to be accountable to myself I'm coming out of the This spring I've become determined to break the cycle, get off my ass and get some jewels back on the road. Because many of you share my affliction I thought I'd share my demons with you to help fortify my resolve. This is Loocy (pronounced Lucy), a 1954 Mercury convertible, last driven 2001. Currently the front suspension is being rebuilt so that she can get wheels on the ground in preparation for transport to a friend's shop where a rebuilt engine and transmission can be installed along with many other details required to get her driving by late July. This is Cloud, a 1947 Lincoln Club Coupe, last driven July 2004. Has original flathead V-12 and was previously owned by Merle Haggard. Currently being readied for the road with the help of Troy (messix) so it can be sold. Meet Tintipi, a 1987 Syncro Westy, last driven November 2009. Getting a Subie conversion to a 3.3L six, regeared transmission with differential lock and drive shaft decoupler. The ultimate wilderness camping rig. Finally there's Ike, a 1950 Willys Jeepster. No idea when last driven...I pulled him out of a boneyard in Colorado in 2004 where he had sat since 1972. A serious case of lost puppy syndrome..."it followed me home, can I keep it?" I'd like to turn Ike into an old school rat rod, but as you can see, there's a long waiting list. That's it. Stay tuned as I attempt to clear the logjams and get some of this old iron on road trips and off guilt trips. I feel so much better now. |
