I like the first one. Any of them would keep you off the streets and out of trouble for quite a while. And don't forget pictures, we all want pictures. :)
The first one is cool -- looks like Bill Clinton's cigar.
I'd like to see what PEG would build.

Not often our .gov does something good -- guess we should take advantage of it. :)
There is a guy up the street building a 49 woody wagon ford hot rod... Man it is just awesome....
( inch rear mustang II front... 302 engine with the c-6.. vintage air...Had the glass tinted really nice retro looking...
All the wood was done by an old guy nearby he took all the old pieces out and replicated each piece one at a time and then they put er back together
I would say the car is going to be worth $50,000 when done...It is about 95% finished...
I'd love to see pictures... :)
...maybe in the Hot Rod Corner??
I will see what i can do...
He has started to drive it a little...It is in almost done stage and the guy has got the fever.. you know what I am talking about...
No interior in the car,...driving it around on an old bucket seat...It is painted and the driveline is done tweaked and then tweaked some more...
I never get the awesome projects....Bought a 72 chevy half ton to convert a 67 to 5 lug disk brakes last night... on the way back from taking the wife out to supper..
Hot rodding is a lot of fun if you forget about working outside in the 95 degree heat
