Who's working on their cars over Thanksgiving?

Fabbed up some of the exhaust last year. This year, I have to mess with the carb on my OT4wheeler, then it's time to fill some holes in the floor and bang some metal around.
HAPPY TURKEY DAY FELLAS!

 

Going down to tampa tonight, then run a 5K. Back in Jax friday night. Sat. i will start putting the pass. side windows back in the door, on my 64 Falcon. Hope to be driving dec. 1st !

 

Nothing cool but i will be working on my partners work van. 2001 dodge ram van. been siting for a while... then relaxing with the old TV

nice tradition. I have to work thanksgiving, but hopefully friday work on building floors in my 51!

 

get some more done on my dash swap in my A Sedan

 

I will. Got more work to do on the bed. I hope the weather is decent, I like to work outdoors.

 

yup. Just dropped off the 318 to the machine shop today for hot tanking and measuring. I will spend the rest of the 3 days eating turkey and finding mischief to do in the shop while awaiting the return of the motor. Happy Turkey day. Bud

 

I was trying to get my new garage built and wired so I could spend some time in there with my project, but too much rain here last month and it put me behind. So the car is still under the car cover and I will be finishing the siding and starting the wiring this Thanksgiving.

 

Looks like it's going to be the last good weather day for a while tomorrow so I'm goin for one more ride in the 55, bring it home and I guess winterize it and just look at it until spring----------------------------damn it

 

I'll be spending the day on my RPU.

Can't wait.

I 'worked' on them today. Serviced the tires. Tomorrow I'll drive them both. It's my prediction that the old lady will have me going to the store to get stuff I didn't have time to get today because I was pumpin' up tires.

 

Won't be out there too much this weekend, hopefully 1 day at least. Still in the planning stages of what to do this winter when I get layed off. I will have plenty of time then, just not much money.

 

...sure nuf,..gonna mock up the flatbed frame on the 48 Ford 1/2 ton I've been workin on, then maybe roll it outside for some pics,... it's comin along real well.

 

Working on the A mostly, gotta do some more stripping, some hammer and dolly work, and will probably start firewall and other sheet metal fab. Really have to CLEAN the harley, as most of the stripping dust made its way to her, and same with the mustang. I love thanksgiving!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!

 

Oh Yeah, there will be sparks flyin' around here for the next few days. I'm gonna be working on the sedan ALL 4 days.

I'm finishing the '46 Dodge chop top. It's taking 2 days to fit and weld each door together (from peices) as the chop ended up a little more radical than I figured. But it'll be nice. Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Oh yeah - I work on it every nite - re-doing the interior - gathering the parts to re-wire it - still need a bunch yet - then new brakes complete - got to get done before World of Wheels in Feb! My first indoor show since 1980!

 

Working on my daughters heavy chevy chevelle, want to get it done so I can work on my henryj!!

 

hell yeah!
ive been off all week and have next week off... and i just got back to work about 3 weeks ago!!

pulled the 8 foot stepside off the 69 c10 and put the fleet side back on it by hand with the help of my wife... love that woman...

couldnt figure out what to do with the stepper or where to store it all the garages are full, because its getting in bad shape.. so i disassembled it carried it down to the basement and reassembled it!!

now i can work in the warm and dry and when its done tear it apart and bring it back up!!

 

I'm beginning reconstruction of The Last Logghe altered.

 

I have 9 days off for Thanksgiving but it looks like I'll be spending most of that time knee deep in my kitchen makeover.I had a rough day with my new sink and then I walk out in the garage to get tools and I smelled gas real bad.It turns out I have a fuel leak on my '49 that will have to get fixed tommorow or Friday....

 

Oh yeah, definately going to be wrenching. To to pull my old project out, tidy up a bit in the shop, drive the new project in, suppose to freeze soon so amd going to drain the water out of the radiator, pull the flathead 6 out, start pulling body parts off, get the front end cleaned up, weld up some motor mounts, set the engine and trans, get it wired and plumbed up, fire it up and take it for a test drive. Of course, thats getting pretty ambitious, I'll probably just get the truck in and the coolant drained.

 

Check all the electrics on the Vicky, fix the cowl light - again, then fit new door seals and weatherstripping and off for a test drive - first time in over a year, woohoo

 

me.... I will be working on pulling parts down from the top of the garage and making a list of what I need for project Phaeton

 

Get some garage time in the morning, football and turkey rest of the day. Life is good!

 

That would be me! Hoping to get my narrowed control arms painted and installed...

 

I will be hatefully removing rust from my fender. Also gonna cut the peak off of the extra 54' fender I have so I can graft it in to my hood.

 

Yep, count me in, too. Some good food, beer, and my car!

 

The car and I are in two different states.......
