    My other projects are my `72 hornet and my `80 J20 .
    When I got the J20 it was a `79 J10 with no vin plate, 2 barrel 360 th400 full time 4 wheel drive with 31x10.5 tires . Then I found me a rusted junked out `80 J20 with all the good stuff . Now my truck has posi dana 60 rear, "HD" dana 44 front, 3.73 gears, 4 speed granny low, 33x12.5 tires , eldelbrock carb and intake , headers just came in the mail, and I just installed the gladiator style grill and headlights a couple weeks ago . Now I just need to paint the flat bed and weld in floor boards.

    Right now I`m just trying to get my hornet road worthy so I can quit driving the maverick long enough to swap in the stroker and fix the body damage. So far I have rebuilt the front brakes put in a new windshild replaced the heater core installed a fuel cell (the tank was leaking) got rid of the God awfull factory front seats and put in some s10 bucket seats , put in a mallory distributor to get rid of the points rebuilt the carb ect.

    97 Seadoo Challenger boat. Just put in new engine, different pitch impeller, and added some Hydroturf to the back end.

    Then last week, my dad bought this bike, but at 5'6" he is too short to touch the ground, so I am redoing the suspension for him to drop it a couple inches so "hopefully" he can ride it. Until then it is MY BIKE. Not the bike I would have bought, but for his 90 mile each way daily commute, it should help him out on gas.

    Most of my spare cash has been going into my 2009 Jeep Wrangler. Small lift, added power door lock and remote keyless entry, upgraded all the speakers and added a subwoofer, custom decals ... and spare tire delete done ....

    1968 Mustang California Special. Got it kind of as a project as you can see.

    Wondering if I will ever have the time, space, and money to build a Comet GT.

    I like that J20 Jeep truck. Kind of torn between a Gladiator or a 1950's Dodge Power Wagon.
