$1,000 wish list - what would you buy first?

You filthy animal.

 

oh yeah, i'd put it towards a nice plasma cutter...

 

Parts that I would sell for more money and repeat process.
Oh wait...thats what I do now.

 

Tunnel ram, carbs, and scoop for $999.99

 

I'd buy a nice weekend getaway for my wife and I to relax and then i'd ask her if I could take out a $5k loan to really go crazy buying parts and toys. So in theory it would cost me more money... HMMM.

 

I would give it to Denise to help put the air unit in "Big Olds". ~sololobo~

 

I'd rebuild/replace the dripping, howling diffy in my shoebox

 

set of excelsior radials.... oh wait, that's over a grand. damn.

 

New pie crust DOT approved slicks 15 inch thank you very much. I'll take a pair of front tires as well please.....

 

I'd get my axle and radius rods chromed. If someone buys my latest engine I can do that and then some.

 

My former grands went and future grands will be spent on Model A parts.
I just received today total $1075.85 coupe wood kit and attaching iron pieces from Snyder's.

 

Entry fee, class change fee, and gas to get to SpeedWeek this year. Can I have another grand to get home?

 

I want a pony

 

Why stop at "pony"? Why not a whole stable of unicorns!!

As long as we're playing pretend, I'd probably buy a 100,000 sq ft shop/warehouse for $5 and then start buying up parts and projects for pennies on the dollar! Although, a Big Mac & fries does sound good...usually does when you haven't had it for a while.

 

A nice bead roller would take care of that $1000.

 

Oh I would be buying some gambino suspension stuff like a taildragger kit for the 54.........since im there some dropped uprights too.Damn it I may go over a bit!

 

that scotch dont sound to bad a good bottle of Oban and some flathead speed parts....

 

I was just thinking about this, its a poor strategy. My wife already knows I need all this stuff this year anyway, and its budgeted for. I would call Dove and order a re-pop tunnel-wedge intake for the 428 FE in my falcon.

 

Fenderwell Headers, Cheaters for out back, Finish up Interior. Done ya right, there never done .

 

plasma cutter

 

Parts for the wifes 46 cj2a. She let me just buy her a miller 252 so we are broke, thank god ramen noodles are cheap. And yes the welder is very nice.

 

Paint!!!! for my 55

 

Well, if the rules say I can't use it on paying down bills and debt, I'd have a pair of new '32 Ford frame rails on order. Not sure if I get American Stamping or the others.

 

Dropped axle front end for the Essex.

 

I'd buy that '39 Ford P/U that my buddy keeps trying to sell me and a junkyard motor and trans for it.

 

The drive set up for a 671 blower. Crap, that still won't cover it. Keep your money, I'll buy it myself.

 

Transmission rebuild, body work.

 

road trip to pick up my model T parts.

 

toss up--radiator--tranny adapter--all the necessary patch panels...

 

Ive been eye'n a set of Spoked Wheel Vintiques and tires while a couple of years now. Mmmmmm, wheels.
