Whats your project plans for 2008?

I love it!...everbody needs to eat alot of cabbage tommorrow, sounds like your going to be spending it in the next year!!

 

PLANS? HA! You mean fantasies?

1) Finish the '50 Burb
2) Start on the 29 A Sedan
3) Get the 57 Nash running for my 16 y.o. daughter to drive
4) Clean the work area and organise the shop

3 of the 4 are possible. 1 is a long shot.
Which one is the long shot? The answer appears below...........

 

If you guessed "4", you're correct.

 

To finally get my 49 done, its getting pulled off the road and torn back down to the frame, full paint and A/C and body rubber as well as sound....only thing left will be the interior...hope to have it done in 9-10 months

 

get the frame done on my 51 ford

 

Going to finish the body and paint and sell the camaro. Already working on a new engine for the 57' Pontiac and will have it on the road by early summer pretty easily.

 

I bought a '62 falcon for the wife...needs brakes, driver's side floor, and a touch of engine work. Should be road-ready for spring. I'll give it a shave and drop it a couple inches and give it a few rattle-can scallops during the summer.

 

( 1.) fix my 65 Riv

( 2.) find a 48-53 Chevy p/u and start putting it together

( 3.) find a cheap beater late 60's / early 70's FLH to bomb around on

 

I'm going to get the new rebuilt engine droped in my 53. As well as the new tranny and the 55 chevy rear end that I picked up. That means getting the exhaust built, dressing the whole motor, playing with the 2 carb setup. Then rebuilding the front end and reworking the rear suspension.

Then I might get started on the body work. Thats all before the Round Up. I'm really trying to get the rust and dents taken care of before April so the car will look decent in Austin.

Than I might just start on the Lakester. At least start the frame and roll cage.

 

To lower my Merc with the 2 inch drop coil springs I got and to put in 3 inch blocks in the rear. And to buy that 54 Sunvalley I found if business picks up.

 

Not a sock fucker, but will be glad to lend a hand.

 

Well now that my truck is running and driveable I plan on making it look a little more finished. I want to concentrate on details. I would like to finish the interior, and redo my front brake lines. get some descent wheels and tires for the rear so it looks less like well a rat... My goal was not so much to build a rat rod (not that I don't like it, or the idea of) it just doesn't look clean enough for me. I am also going to start on my 26/27 T roadster. I say 26/27 because I am unsure exactly which of the 2 years it is... They look the same to me... lastly I need to get my wifes 5.0 mustang painted... I have had the paint for a year now,and told her for two that I was going to get this done... Heh, right now it's under two feet of snow... As is my truck.

 

Pull the engine (again for the second time in under 500 miles) and rebuild it . . . again.
Dual master cylinder.
New wheel & tire combo (16 or 17 inch wires and dirt trackers).
Pinstriping.

Drive the hell out of it April-November.

Hopefully finish the interior next winter.

 

Get the '27 driveable, titled and registered. I need to find someone to make a 4 row radiator for it, and a bunch of other things need completion.
