Trying to figure out which project to resume......the Camaro is currently together and running but after 30yrs of carbs on the blower I have been gathering parts for the EFI setup and would be nice to have a new look for going to Cruisin The Coast in Oct........on the other hand I have had the most of the major parts to get the 39 atleast rolling on its own. One day I think I have my mind made up but then I will read or see something to make me decide to work on the other project.......damnit...... it sucks not being able to makeup my freaking mind plus both ways are still going to take a chunk of change

Ok here is the 39 Plymouth PT81......had a aftermarket frame, Mustang II, 9 inch and non running 305/700R4 in it when I bought it. While a lot of work was done on it all of it needs to be gone over (welds are very rough) and decided to not even waste any money getting the motor running after pulling the valve covers.

looks like you need to move the front wheels forward a few inches? Neat truck, like you said, it needs lots of work!
