    simple goals:

    1. finish the body work on the 50, have it blocked and ready for paint in the spring.

    2. Rebuild the trans.

    3. Brakes and suspesnsion finished.

    4. Save the $ to build the engine in the spring.

    that last one might be tough. :)

    The plan:
    Debuting my car at the Primer Nationals next year:

    That will include doing the interior and getting most of the bodywork done. I need to keep goals realistic, otherwise nothing will ever get done.

    Get the complete chassis for the 48 finished out the way I want it. This will be the last major redo on this truck so I will be working at getting it right this time.
    Outside of the front crossmember this is 80% labor to cash outlay so I just need to get my butt busy and get it done. It will take lots of hours but not a huge cash outlay.

    Along with that, a lot of body work on the cab and hopefully progress on the roadster project.
     
  18. Some body work, paint, suspension work on my 34. And hopefully get my 61 belair bubbletop at least a roller. We'll see how it goes.

    Winter? What's that? Ohhhhh you mean those 2 weeks in February when the humidity and heat let up for a bit? It may get in the 40's.

    Pull the bed off the '65 c10 and patch the holes, fix the dents and get things welded so it doesn't rattle when i drive. Oh yeah and get some whether stripping for the winter cold.

    Sell the '66 corvair

    Use the money to buy the '29 chevy PU I have been eye-ballin around the corner from my house. The guy wants $800 for it. :eek:
