How old is your project?

[pishta]

Did some work on mine today and was shocked to see 2005 tags on the plate, wow, its been a while! I did drive it a few times with a temp reg though. Its been non-op'd since 05, sheesh!

 

[USCG CHARGER]

5 yrs here.

 

[Dusteriffic]

I still have both the 2011 and 2012 tags sitting on my desk. :shock:

The last time I drove it was to my new house in May 2010.

 

[rumblefish360]

Well, after frying the engine in my 73 Cuda, I laid it up to work on the then new house in 2003. Engine got done summer past. Getting into it a little this upcoming summer, no rush or push.

The Magnum has been off the road for 2 summer's since I got a decent D/D truck, '03 quad cab Dakota. It's the focus now.

The Duster gets tid bit every now and again. No rush.

2004 for me,paint and body work take forever.

Lol

I got it running again in 2007 for my wedding. (The 360 with two flat cam lobes lasted longer and was more fun).

Prior to that...1997

My Valiant's been parked since '99, but it wouldn't take much to make run, I don't think.

 

[FomocoReformed]

Going on 3 years now, last time it ran or moved under it's own power was probably late 2010 before I pulled the slanter.

My gawd, you guys don't wanna know. I just checked out my paint shop receipt from 5 years ago. Here's my '69 Western Sport Special before it got painted all black (with all the vinyl top removed and trim holes welded up) I have the newly reupholstered seats sitting inside the interior, new door panels in the plastic, new carpet in the box, new headliner material ready to be installed (going to all red interior) NOS 440 shortblock with TRW forged pistons, freshly done 906 heads with hardened exh seats, Marko Radielovic's freshly rebuilt A-833 4-speed trans (from his infamous '67 black convertible cuda W-2 headed tunnelrammed 340) with Hurst Competition Plus shifter........ahhhhhhh...I really could go on and on. I just can't spare the money to finish it up right now. Hopefully, I'm going to get a 8 3/4" rear end built up for after the new year.....

Here's a "before" picture.....

And now.....

[Johnny Dart]

Not as old as Dave's.....:clock::clock::clock:

 

[69B-Cuda]

ummm I bought mine probably 15 years ago, swapped engine and started painting it... someone backed into the front end, I had the bumper and headlight surround re-chromed, and pit it back on. I then started building my house and the bodywork went on hold... I still drive it with hopes that someday, I'll get it painted... I keep saying that I'm doing the mechanical first... LOL. I have been doing that for 15 years.

[pishta]

I bought a Moped back in 92 that had 76 tags on it.....And my 2nd (current) '65 I bought in 1994 had 1972 tags on it, no joke, warehoused for 22 years.....

 

[Rocker'sDuster]

I took my car off the road this past June, so I am coming up on 7 months so far.

 

[70DartSedan]

too old

 

[seventyswinger]

under resto for 4 years and counting

 

[nuttyprof]

My 62 valiant had 89 plates on it when I bought it Easter of 2011. Been left outside behind a farmhouse the whole time!

 

[sleepyhead416]

Going on 2 years for the SWINGER

 

[BillGrissom]

2.5 yrs on the 65 Dart. Never drove it, but did start the engine once before I changed the cam & intake.

And I bought a '64 Valiant convertible today. My wife actually agreed to that! It will be finished ~2015 by my schedule, though it is a driver now.

I learned long ago not to rush a job. When you take a part off, do it once. Change all wearable items, repaint, etc. Don't ever back-track.

 

[nuttyprof]

Some pics.

 

[jaak]

My 69 Charger 2002 to 2011, really didn't get real serious working on it until 2008, but over the years when I had extra money, I would buy up parts and stock them. I did everything myself on this car.

Heres the car around 2005 (right before I bought my house with a 40 x 32 shop).....

Here is a pic I took last week.....

Now I NEED an A-body to spend the next few years on!!!

[Brad4406]

Current project is 6 years. 1.5 years of that was spent over in Turkey with the car in SC. Then 2 years in NE where I was deployed at least half the year, both years so not much got done there either.
