Art & Inspiration What are Your Hot Rod New Year Resolutions

Mine is to get my Fleetline done in time for the Power Tour!

 

Mine is to finish my 32 truck and drive it to 2014 speed week!

 

To finish my 26 RPU and then to start getting my Willys back on the road after 28 years.JW

 

to go get another 40 coupe to keep me occupied for a while. Will be 71 soon so need to keep after it. Maybe a road trip this week to go look at two coupes-wife is ready to roll and says to go for it.

 

To have my 30' coupe on the road by spring.

Streetrods maybe driven by Chevy, but hotrods are powered by FORD!

Buy a 39 or 40 Ford coupe.

 

Build the "H" pipe in the exhaust, put on the new valve covers my wife got me for Christmas, change intake manifold and carb, and get the luggage trailer painted and ready for a great cruising, rodrunning season. Dang, I love this hotrodding stuff, dont you?

 

Get up out of my office chair a lot more and work on my old '50 chevy so as to be able to drive it this year. Go to more car cruise's .

 

Get some work done on the 60 impala and quit putting it on the back burner.

Sell off all the non automotive crap around here and get current with bills. See if I can get back to "House Money" and "Car Money" something that merged years ago and needs to be corrected. Get the Roadster cowl in finish primer, then rebuild and fit the doors. Get the T Bobtail up to roller form, and finish the hardwood floor here in the office/junk room. Will any of this happen, hell no, but I think about it every year at this time. Happy New Year! Bob

 

Finish projects already started, and stop renting space.

 

Mine rarely come to fruition, so this year I'm going to take things as they come.

 

Put more miles on the road than I did last year.
Last year - small local stuff probably 1500 - 2000 miles
Road trips - 8500 or so.
That's around 10,000, shootin 4 15000 this year

 

Drive the old 34 and get started on the 55. And hang out with family and friends, And do a burn out in front of the old police station

 

Drive by the White Tower in Stamford backwards on a Friday night!
RIP Joe!

 

I would have to say, starting one of the ones lying around would be good. not holding my breath though

 

Get headliner done by Beachbum Jim on the 52, fix vibration on the 52 (parts coming to do so), get in a road trip or two, hang out with buddies and laugh harden than years past......

 

Finish new shop and get it stuffed full of old junk. Gotta be a cool ride come out of that!

I'm going to try (I said try) to not street race. I have an almost uncontrollable habit of taking up challenges; most often when young guns in their late model factory muscle cars pull up next to me at lights and come off as intimidating by reving their engines. I'll look around and make sure that the coast is clear, then give them a taste of what homemade power to weight can do! I've been lucky as far as not getting tickets and need to quit this stuff before I do. I'm just a dang, old version of a kid... I need to try and quit street racing (I said try). ...robber

 

To never build another street rod...

The parts you get these days are pure China junk, plain junk, or should be classified as junk.

And the suppliers do not know anything about the parts they sell you....but do know that when you return the junk...you have to pay shipping twice.

 

I hope to make a real start on my ol' 37 this year, instead of just gathering parts and daydreaming about driving it. staring at it and making motor noises as I fantisize about road trips is getting old! LOL!

 

I want to make real progress on my COE, fix a few things on the 46 Chevy, and get my Dallara on the track, hopefully pulled there by the COE...

 

We are expecting twins in May, so money & time may be tight this year. My resolution is to get as much done on my Cadillac as I can on my own... Floors, wheel wells, firewall, engine mockup, and general assembly.

 

I'd like to get the wiring finished in my shop and also some heat out there, so I don't have to dress like the little brother in 'A Christmas Story' to go out and work on my cars next winter.
