whats your winter car plans??

I have some things i need to get done this winter..first on the list is changing my column shift to a floor shift, and replacing all of my glass..and replacing the windshield gasket...found out coming back from Pigeon Forge from the Shades that it leaks very bad!

 

My winter car plans are "Drive Them" - that's why I live here - minimal winter.

Hoping to do paint/body over the winter if I can talk my buddy out of retirement for one more project.

 

To build my 46 chevy rollback......

 

Re-cover my seats and install new carpet. Weld up a few small rust holes in the floor & trunk. New valve stem seals.

 

To finish this and drive it next summer!!

Taking the plunge on a 40/41 Plymouth coupe if I can find just the right one. I'm super stoked to start, just don't know when I will be. Trying to line up drivetrain stuff now in anticipation. But wait...the best part of the whole thing is that the track manager is behind the whole project!!!

 

Drive it till the snow flies...

 

I go to South Florida....projects hibernate.

 

Just keep drivin, nice here in Florida all year.

 

hmmmm.. might start to assemble my pile of parts into something that resembles a '22 Dodge front half w/ a 223 Ford six/4spd/olds rear, '29 poncho grille shell, '36 Chevy Dash, model a box, farmall regular fuel tank (cool lookin' square tank with/ straps and cast stands), '36 Olds artillery wheels, lever shocks, etc... I've got lots of really cool parts just need to put it all together and make it into something..

other than that stereo and interior work on my O/T '80 Cutlass..

 

Start building a Barris clone kustom. Its a 1953 Plymouth.

 

I wanted to paint mine over the winter...but finances wont warrant it..i'll just re-do the glass..and forget the paint for a while.

 

A few minor upgrades for my truck, and a make over for my new project.

 

Get the frame painted on the model A and finish the chop on the 32 ford pickup...That's my goal

 

Put an interior in my avatar and build my 29 coupe......

 

Go to the beach on x mas and send the pics up north to my family in the northeast ,,,SERIOUSLY THOUGH,i do miss the winters,get to work on your car without rushing,i remmember driving my 34 ford around upstate ny when the roads where dry and clean,no heater but the joy of driving her after a couple months of snow was killer,,,,

 

Bag my 63 Riviera.

 

get my other 6 banger in my 49 Ford Coupe. Finish and then installl the wood cargo floor into my Nomad and get the stainless strips installed to boot. Starting looking for disc brake conversion for my 62 Merc Monterey.

 

Finish up the 47 Chevy, start on another car. Hopefully its a 40 Ford coupe.

 

Finish the hydraulic brake conversion and the '39 trans install on the '38 and hopefully get a good start on another OT project.

I am Just picked up a new project, a 27 T coupe. I am in the process of rebuilding the sub rails right now. Hope to get the cowl off and blasted before the snow flies.Any one out there have a p/s side top inside hinge let me know......PINCHER

 

I hope to get my 40 Ford pickup frame in a rolling stage and painted before the snow flies. For winter I'm planning on working on the 401 nailhead rebuild. Hopefully by spring I can be ready for body fitting and sheet metal work. May start a build thread.

 

Bringing my 47 Olds fastback out of its hybernation of 25 years.If I wait that long again,Ill be in permanent hyber.

 

Move somewhere that palm trees grow outdoors year round!

 

I'd like the finish the A sport coupe that I'm working on and get my 32 rolling
