P.A.D.D.

  • or in other words project attention deficit disorder . i don't know about the rest of ya but i seem to really suffer badly from it . besides the no time issue , and someone messing with my 52 after i got it running good and driving it daily ( they dumped something in the tank that has plugged up the entire system requiring a thorough cleaning , carb rebuild and taking the fuel pump apart yet ) i can't seem to stop finding other things to mess with . i have the aforementioned 52 customline , my 53 effie in pieces , which should have been a rolling chassis by now , and my beater 95 4.6 bird . well ... i have got to go look at it but i have been given a running , but broken front suspension , mercury marquis of 98 vintage . it's a 4.6 also . my bird has a small oil leak on the oil feed tube in the back of the right side head , and i gotta drop the engine and trans as far as i can see to fix it so my theory is , get another 4.6 get a set of pi cams , put the pi intake and all associated hardware i have on it , and just swap motors ..... well we all know where this is gonna go .... another non op ford in my drive in pieces that i can't seem to find the time to play with ! can't figure out why the hades i can't just focus on one of them , in particular my effie !!!! maybe the next time i go to the doc's he can give me a prescription to help me with my disorder . oh and i still got that 76 mustang 2 i haven't figured out what to do with , part it or ?????????????? did i mention the 49 f-1 i was told about that a friend of a friend has with the front clip off as he was starting to restore it and lost interest ???? he only wants 900 bucks and i can stash it at my unk's with the mustang as that marquis might be in the drive being torn apart .......

I hear ya. I think that there's a lot of us with that symptom. My wife tries to 'help' me with my issues. ("When are you gonna get that junk out of here " ).

Here I am in action
