Hot Rods What update's or repairs to your hot rod will you do over the winter?

I should have had it done by now but installing the zips riser installed on the mordor and removing that noisy electric fan.

I want to try one of the Ford high performance adjustable clutch cables on the Ranch Wagon and possibly install some lowering blocks in the rear.

My old beater....
install that heater that I didn't last year.

Not a whole lot of things to do but the way I procrastinate I will probably take all winter to accomplish everything on the list. HRP

 

The interior in my T Bucket.

 

Two inch chop on my avatar, change rear axle ratio from 2:75 to 3:25, maybe some body work.

 

Hey, it's not winter already is it? Admittedly hardly roadster weather here now but it's not quite time to batten down, is it? Besides, I don't want to think about the huge list of must do's and would like to do's, well not just yet!

I figure I’ll make sure all fluids are topped off and then I’ll see about getting one of these [emoji56]

Make some serious progress on getting my shop built so I have a real place to work on my projects.

 

For us in the deep South the weather is still nice and I'm driving my hot rods,fact is I'm drive the old beater today.

For the most part we can drive year round,not too much snow in this area. HRP

 

Now that the heat index is beginning to drop below 100, here in South Florida, I plan on trying to get one of my trucks back on the road, if I can find my ambition.

 

Hope to get it back on the road before spring. Still have the exhaust, wiring, and some plumbing to finish up. Won't take long, but getting the time to do anything is tough.

 

They are talking about the first snow of the year hitting this week.
But as far as my project I'm going to and buy some one's love and affection with beer and pizza so i can use their barn to work on my car, or at least store it.

 

complete front end rebuild.

 

Wet sand with 2000 one more time on the '32, and buff to a blinding gloss!
Or something like that!

Sure it’s probably safer to work on the car. But I ask you, is it as much fun?

Adding air conditioner to the '51. Making a road trip from Crowley, TX to Flagstaff, AZ next summer and the wife thinks we need it.

 

well seeing how the wife is on board...

 

Just got to put the stickers on the 52 gmc and the 31 chevy got wiring and refinements to do on the 41 willys not a lot so mayby a trip with the old Trillium behind the 52 to the sunny south thinking grand canyon and area sweety has been talking about Arizona for a while,,could be an adventure.

You can’t afford one of those
And even if you could, the maintenance would probably kill you

 

Ohh ye of little faith.

I’m going to do my best to get the RPU finished to drive next summer.

 

I really should start building the next wilder race car. But mean time, I'll keep driving them around, because I can, because winter here generally isn't so bad.

 

I had too much to drink one night and agreed to do body and paint on the twin engine dragster me and some friends are building.

Hopefully fab a floor and have it ready to fire by spring

Got a disk brake kit to put on the wagon and clean up some issues like the non working dome light and fix the seat mount.
Hope to add a trailer hitch to tow one of the racecars next year

Heater! Soon. Also a bunch of details.
Interested in what Mr Jim is cooking up: next wilder..

 

Just got the Coupe back together so I need a project! Hope the great weather holds on another month. I guess I should do some maintenance on the lift, garage doors and get some sleep.

 

The build continues, as it has been doing all year round for the past 6-years.......

 

I am going to paint the doors on the sunliner and tinker with the stereo system some plus a motor swap on the 66 F100 and 37 Chevy p/u.

 

First I have surgery that will take 6 weeks off of my building time (distal tear of the right bicep)
Once better, pull the SBC out of the Land Speed 28 and start the install of the proper XO 302 GMC.
Fix the front suspension of the 50 Ute
Change the trans from an auto back to a 4 speed in the 41 truck.
And in my spare time finish the Land Speed 59 Ford pick-em-up for May.......
And all the other **** that pops up......

 

Time will tell, time will tell.

I don't think you would look good in a yellow dress!
