whats your winter car plans??

Me too, I hate the snow it nips, chills, and freezes me. still I'll spend my winter in the garage need the new tach installed, speedo working, fix hood, vintage up the street rod like motor(vale covers, air cleaner etc.). Also, I'm getting an Ed Roth How to make custom car bodies book so I have my ideas.

 

Winter plans???? I ain't done with summer plans. Shit. It's fall ain't it.

 

Finish the 27 chevy in my avatar so I can have a car under my butt for next summer. It's been way too long, And i'm jonesen for a ride of my own.

OOPS I might change my avatar and you wont know what I am talking about.

 

for my chopped shoebox:

side glass; vent windows, door, and quarter windows
notch the frame out back
correct pinion angle
dropped spindles if i could sell enough shit to afford them.

once this list is done, i have another list...

 

First project is insulating and sheeting the interior walls of my new shop so I can heat it.
Once that's done I'm going to start pulling the Essex apart. Plans are for a complete new drivetrain, adapt some kind of r&p steering to the front end (Corvair), and change the dash & shifter.

 

I thought I was going to switch over to the '33 and throw it together but now I'll bet I'll be finishing my '35 up and changing directions to my '54 since I need some space for the family to ride along.

'54 will get a 283 punched out to a 301, Muncie M21 and a posi rear. I just want to get it running and a decent stance dialed in and drive with when I have more then me to scoot around.

 

Sit on the porch with the fan on and drink lots of BEER what else would I do ?????????????????

 

Correct all the glitches I've experienced this season on my 27 T RPU: rebuild the tri-power, repaint all the areas that have been chipped or scratched, install a hidden stereo/CD player, build a ragtop. Last, but not least, install an emergency brake. Should be easy to accomplish all this over the winter months;....there'll be nothing else to do while the snow is blowing outside.

 

finish the paint, wiring & upolstery in time for spring.

 

Going to finish my 34' tudor project after its year of slumber due to finishing a friend's project. Just now completing an addition to the ol' garage so hopefully within a month there will be forward progress once again.

 

Hopefully sell my 47' sedan, then tear the nash back apart. Im thinkin building a new frame, freshen up the motor, new heads, some kinda wild intake and a 4 speed.

And finish wolfhound423s plymouth

 

I am probably going to cruise all day in the sun,hang out with friends and their rides,soak in the car club events..oh yeah thats right i live in SAN DIEGO..HAHAHAHA....suckers!

 

Thats what I call winter!

 

My son and I are gonna get his O/t chevelle project started! The car may be off topic,
but spending time with my son to me will be right on the mark!

 

My winter plan is to go from this...



To something very similar to this...



But with a mildly chopped top (maybe 3"), some shiny paint (maroon or black), and a B motor.

 

I am going to try to get my '59 chevy truck into primer maybe even paint and start working on my '40 plymouth again.

 

hopefully finish last winters project

 

build my 63 rambler gasser

 

Winter? Thats when the temp drops way down to the 70s, right?

 

Winter car plans? Ohh you mean what I'm going to do to my 50 Chev in between northwest swells and Tahoe trips.

 

New side Glass. Freshen up the trans again. Carb/fuel pump rebuild. Few rechromed trim parts. new parking/tail lenses. radio work & dash rewire. custom built dash switch box. strip the seats out and clean/patch/smooth the floor.
Some reason, im crazy and like working inside the car in the winter.

 

Drive them as much as I can.

 

my winter plans are you get some shit done.

 

Iv also been toying with making my 62 Ranchero a Gasser...

Maybe maybe not. We'll see how it goes.

 

i plan to rebuild the rear end in the merc with my auto tech teacher and my dad at the school's auto shop. should be hours of fun right?

 

What is this "winter" you all speak of?

 

Im lookin a nine months of it so the plans are endless

 

Oh man! Awesome body! I'm jealous!! That's exactly what I'm lookin' to build. That lettering on the door is cool. Great project!

 

Keep drivin' the arse of both of them. Winter here lasts about one week. Just enough time to catch ya breath.

Mine leaves for body and paint the week of Thanksgiving, check below vvvvv. Would like a progress report on this thread come April!!
