Projects What are the winter projects for this year? ~~2008~~

Get my shoebox subframed and the motor/trans built and in. Pulled the front sheetmetal off this passed Sat so I'm already on a roll. If I end up ahead of the game, start on the rear suspension. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

 

Winter?


As each year, I'll be thrashing for a couple months straight on Sierra Madre's Rose Parade float while my own projects languish in forgotten sorrow.
Then a couple weeks off to recuperate after the parade and I'll get back to whatever it is I call a life again.

 

I plan to redue the brakes on my 51 and start the bodywork, have the heads redone on my 69 F-100 and upgrade the ignition.

 

1956 Buick: Tear it back down, wet sand and spray some green flake on it. Finish smoothing my chrome parts and spend my tax return having everything made shiny again. lower it. and try to fix a few leaks.
1960 parkwood: Swap motor and tranny. Give it power brakes..
yeah my winter is already booked.

 

my winter projects are just the same as my summer ones.

 

Starting on my tom. night!! Found a shop I can use for $100 a month welder and plasma included!! So the list goes...

1.MII front w/bags
2.Finish Body Bods (mold rear fenders, flush mount skirts)
3.47 Caddi Bumpers front and rear
4.Get ready for shinny roof and sealer primer lower!!

Good luck to all!!

 

paint for my frame and suspension... fix lil things i dont like, etc...

then work on the wifes new secret project

 

I wish I had a classic to work on... but at least I'm working on an American car this winter.....

Going to strip the under body and take care of all the rust on my Lincoln Mark VIII before it gets any worse, POR15 to the rescue.

 

the 38 buick is next on my list....

 

I'd like to make a pass down MoKan next year in this if I'm not too busy this winter.
Don't gimme any lip---it's a 63, so it's HAMB-friendly

 

here's my jalopy. Just brought her home today. Its a 49 GMC Suburban. Hooray for junk!!!!

 

Finding an old truck that is way too cool to pass up on the HAMB. Excellent.
Getting my Dad to help go get it. Great.
Telling my teenage boys that we finally have a winter project. Awesome.
Explaining all of this to the wife.....priceless

 

My goal is to yank the 235 out of this and get the Nailhead in it and do some little body mods to have it ready for paint by June.

 

My 54 merc ht. Gonna be a mild custom, lake pipes ,White tuck&roll, SBF, c4 tranny,vintage air wide whites (wife likes em). The 62 galaxie is about ready for paint. Did i say i work SLOW! The gal only took 4 yrs.

 

Finish my 29 but 2 weeks of bowhunting in Ohio will not help.

 

No lip, I want... But I'll settle for seeing you tool down the track.

 

Get going on the roadster and decide weather or not to keep the fenders. The rear chassis step is done but I have to figure out which flathead I'm going to use before I do the motor and tranny mounts. I'm working on perch pin removal and wishbone modification tonight.

 

1934 ford hemi powered truck . Ive already started but it is a winter project

 

Well pretty much just finish this ride.... put the motor in wire it fix brakes and gas it up and go!!!!!!!

 

Getting my front clip done and start working on getting the rockers and floors replaced

 

Get my 36 done for the detroit Autorama.




Motor and tranny swap, and fix some bugs out on my Elcam.

 

All new steering and front end parts, brakes, new engine and clutch and the fun one..........Glass!!

 

My hope is to get the 56F100 chassis to the point I can sell that project and get started on the newly acquired 41 Ford Convert. Yeaa Ha!

 

Finish up the body work and prime, do a drivetrain swap, install glass, rewire, and all the other odds and ends to get the 51 on the road.

 

I'm starting on my '51 Buick.

 

That's it?!?!

 

We're gonna finish fixing a bad start on a chop top and let the wife decide what she wants to build. Gonna go get the other 34 we found very close to us. so now we can have a his and hers.

 

I hope to be driving my 39 by the 4th of July

 

Rebuild this:



And this (a result of the former pics):

 

My 30 model a sedan that my dad and I are working on together.
I also planned on finishing the rebuild of my 62 chevy 2 drag car but that may be on hold as my wife was laid off from her job of 13 years.
