Recently just had lower spinal surgery and have had a little more time to read many of the build threads and others like the "Barn find"
And while this spinal surgery (life happens)is hopefully a minor set back for my family life and cars, it makes me want to ask the question "who's has the record for the longest ongoing build?" What kind of "life happens" obstacles caused the build to stop, or rethink your likelihood of ever completing the restoration. Kinda wishing I was Bon Jovi, and had "the power to turn back time" but never mind must be OxyContin talkin...... |

Found a Rich Johnson six mount at Hershey in 2007. That started it all. Took the car off the road in June 2008. Found rust, looked for a rust free tub! Hahahaha. Started rust repair and upgraded the drivetrain. Got a bad case of "while I'm in there". 8 1/2 years later I'm assembling. Did it all myself and didn't borrow a penny. I feel like I'm not taking long enough after some of these stories. Keep at it fellas.
Lots of assembly required!!! |

Tired of pushing it around. When you get your 3.2 going I would like a ride to see what I got myself into. Its funny, I've never even ridden in a six. |
