    Get my 34 in driving condition. A stretch goal would be to have it driving/in primer before mid June so I can pick the kids up from school in it.

    This means dedicating garage time and going on a strict car parts budget, buying only parts needed for the 34 and letting the other back burner projects parts wait.

    I would like to get my floors done and be ready for paint next winter. I am taking an auto body class at the community college so I will get in 8 hours a week for four months. Hope to fill all the trim holes, shave the door handles and get started on the rest. I am gonna take the paint off soon to see what im dealing with.

    Wellllllll, I want to ride in my 48 aero by spring, swap engines in my 33 chev 5 wdo, finish 2 bikes, go to Bonneville (hopefully as part of a race crew) and start my shorty school bus. There is absolutely no reason for me to not achieve these goals!! Also I will be learning to post pictures within the week. peace

    It's still 2010 and my goals are changing.
    I was going to get my model A on the road in preliminary form by spring so that I could enjoy it with my 5 year old daughter. She loves car shows, races and cruising and my wife got me to sell my 65 last spring to paint the house.
    Fast forward and my wife is my ex, I'm paying out to lawyers and what not and the A hasn't made progress so that leaves me with the need for an inexpensive older car that I can just drive and do stuff with my little girl.

    My goal is to get something to have fun with and get the A started.
    That and survival of another year.
    The ex left and I found out that I had my house and to vehicle loans that hadn't been paid in over 8 months ( I put the check in the bank and she was suppose to pay the bills).
    I'm getting that stuff straight and trying to figure out how to get any decent older car on the road on the cheap for now.
    Life will be good if I just get those goals taken care of!

    my goal in 2011 is to REALLY settle myself in my mind as to what car i REALLY wanna own... i keep going thru cars every 6 months to a year...

    i REALLY wanna have something i can know ill want forever.. i just dont know what that car is...

    part of me wants to give it all up, part of me wants to move on to a different type of car.. planning a kid with my wife has had me all over teh place for teh last year or so... i just dont know if i see the point anymore... or atleast the point of teh never ending projects.. as evil as it sounds a 64 tempest or chevelle or something with a nice motor/suspension/and other minor fun stuff would be great, and wouldnt cost me a few thousand dollars every year in "upgrades"...

    idk, im lost, hopefully by 2012 january ill find the plan

    If my truck will move on it's own power out of the garage, I'll be happy.
    Everything else will be a bonus.

    Let's see, last year, my goal was to have the car driving. Since life constantly gets in the way and I spend a LOT of time out of town, I'm taking a more realistic approach. This year, my goal is to have the chassis finished.
