O boy i always have a ton of things going on. Just got two of my grandpas Lionel train engines working again. Guess they havent run since the 60s a couple ppl looked at them never could get them going but i some how figured them out haha. My grandpa actually passed a few months before i was born and my mom had been hanging on to them knowing that one day id figure them out, and she had some kind of dream with him in it and it was about the trains and she knew she had to find them for me to work on asap. Needless to say they were up and running in a couple hours and a couple google searches buzzing around the track like new, my mom was almost in tears. So thats something cool for xmas to have that set up around the tree. No pics at the moment they are the 671 and 2025 models both from 1946-1949 super cool.

Got a vid from a little bit ago


Also something i actually have a couple pics of my ever ongoing jeep, in the past season it has gone from a full bodied rig to doorless fenderless topless mess haha.
Started here -

Then this happened -

Then Buffalo winters and salt took out the floor -

So boatsides and no more doors -


Then a bit more damage -

Then thanksgiving came and a little before and after -


Have a 10 point cage showing up tomorrow going to use that as a base add to it as needed, plate the frame, truss the axles and then order up some 37s should be a fun winter.

My dd 78 Hilux is getting a heart transplant soon. The 20/22r hybrid is going into the 87 Toyota autocross truck I'm building and a Lexus 1uzfe 4 liter 32 valve all aluminum V8 is going in. Same weight as the stock 4 popper and more than double the horsepower.

I've got a Honda 250rl Odyssey that's getting the 800 triple Polaris engine that's sitting in storage. It puts out just shy of 150 horse stock so the Odyssey will be a death trap for sure.

I need to find my wife a 4 runner so I can steal her 89 x cab yota so I'll have a home for the fj80 front axle, Eaton ho52 rear axle and dual cases so we'll have a wheeler again.

My most recent purchase. 1968 Ford Mustang convertible with only 61498 miles on it. Little old lady bought it new and I picked it up from her.

Just about done with where it needs to be. Sadly its a DD so going much more isn't going to happen. Maybe in a few years it becomes more toy than DD and then becomes a project again.

Just a bigger turbo, and plenty of supporting mods to allow that turbo to add some needed power.

Just planning to do more Autox's this summer.

I'm constantly working on dirtbikes or quads. I did a full restore on a 92 yz250 last year. My girl is 5 foot tall so seat got shaved. I got a 85 supra that I'm slowly restoring. I also work on recycling so every weekend I try to recycle as many cans as possible.

Judging by the picture, your can recycling is hurting, but you are really putting in the effort in the glass department....
