D Kirk, it looks like you did a great job on that Lauson! That seems like a cool hobby too. I often tell my wife that I will, one day, perform a full restoration on the 100. She sighs and rolls her eyes. Then I remind her that this "hobby" is way cheaper than collecting and restoring, say, classic GTOs or the like.
In addition to restoring my 100, I would also like to build a "contemporary 100". Take the carcass of a 100 and put the best new engine in it, a re-designed bell-housing based enclosed clutch system, etc..
First I have to build a shop though.
