There was an adjunct to a discussion going on on another thread, and it caused me to ponder this.
“After this vehicle, what do I want to work on next?”
Sometimes, I almost wish that I was running something like a Mod. PU or something that was more bolt together---notice that I said SOMETIMES!!!!!!!!
The grass is always greener . . .
I find myself thinking, as I work on the Midget, "Geez, if I could only just lose this production-based crap and start with a build table and some tubes".
Tell you what, Sparky, I'll work on your car for a week, and you can work on mine.
I suspect we'll both be wanting to go home by Tuesday afternoon! 
Therein lies another of the great intangibles of Landspeed racing.......i just sent a PM to someone over there who's got a Stude... we can barely talk the same language but we "get" it....sure the grass is always greener, but...................
Some of us have more than one build underway, while others, and I’ll include myself in this camp, can barely keep up with one. But I suspect that in the back of many people’s minds, they might be thinking something on the order of, "As soon as I’ve achieved what I set out to do with my current vehicle, I’d really like to put together a (fill in the blank)”. And if it’s not a race car, that’s okay. I doubt my next build will be a race car.
Okay, what do you want to build next?
I'll start.
About a year ago, I finished a book by Neal Thompson, called “Driving with the Devil - Southern Moonshine, Detroit Wheels, and the Birth of NASCAR”. In it, Thompson writes about “Whiskey Cars”, typically a ’38-39 Ford with a reinforced suspension and a strong flathead. They needed to look stock, they needed to be able to haul a lot of product without losing the merchandise, and they needed to outrun the revenuers.
I’m thinking that after I’m done with the Midget, a period correct “Whiskey Car” might just be my next endeavor.
It’s a ways off.
Okay, I spoke first, What do YOU want to build next?
