I thought there was a thread already started on "off topic projects" or "what else are you working on "

Just put it in the regular forum. Start your own thread. Call it; 'Because you asked, o/t 36 Ford build.' I promise you won't find any haters here. We had a guy recently who shared his build of a 34 Ford Roadster kit along with his pickup, and it was a lot of fun to watch. I do believe it was enjoyed by all. It was amazing.
