It would seem that during my rodding history I always have at least one Project on the go, and most of the time more than one.
Most of the rods I have driven over that time have been built by someone else, Cars may have been driven and then become projects because I had other ideas, and for many reasons over time have fell my the wayside. some went on to be finished by other rodders. Due to low income many of the early cars were co-owned with Keith,
I also spent many hours working on other peoples rods, wiring from scratch, engine swaps. engine builds, never did go a lot on body work.
I had a quick count and since 1978 when I passed my test I have had 25 rodded or classic cars, this is just a few.

Current Cars are both projects, I have always wanted an old classic sports car,Now I have a project in the wings, this was the first factory production car to have a cosworth tuned engine, 1340cc Classic ford kent motor. As with all my cars and projects I have plans. She has been nicknamed the Boat by my son's Tornado Cars. Sadly this is another that has fell by the way side, the need for additional cash to help the 'A' build was too mush to turn down.
My other Project is a 1929 Ford Model A Pick Up. Lot of plans none yet firm. Gasser ?, Traditional ?, Street Rod ?. I always liked Pete & Jakes Gold Model A truck, maybe a tribute ? I settled on a traditional build with a twist as only i can, as if building a hot rod is not hard enough.
Don't read too much into the mock-up shots, this was just one of many, and the wheel just happened to be the right size.
The 'A' was built driven and now sold, The new owner did not want the alfa engine so I biught it all back and now plan to fit into Keiths 105E anglia. Intake will be changed in favor of a twin turbo set-up.
