I'll add a few, just got Vicky road-ready, all of 140 miles on her in the last week or 2. Still "under construction" but driveable. First time on the road (without help!) since I parked her behind Dad's barn in '69:

My 56 Mainline, originally a 6 cyl, now boasting a stroked 302 She is not quite done yet but I have driven it twice to test her legs.

Hydraulic clutch, 5 speed, 9" posi rear, disc brakes, heavy duty sway bar, lots of fun!!

Well I am new here on this forum but I have a 55 Ford Fairlane fordor that is part primer and is a drive as I rebuild . Still has a good running 272 Yblock with a bad leaking Ford O Matic. I am just getting ready to build a 302 and with a T-5 or AOD . Just going with the old skool hotrod theme . No fancy paint jobs but just a good running hotrod like we had in senior hight school ! I will have to get some pictures to post here but nothing pretty to look at right now !
