Projects Got any Winter Projects Yet?

Same as last winter, only now I'm retired. Should be doable now. Fresh engine into 47, overdrive and steeper gears, and maybe injection, then finish off interior in 47. All in hopes to drive to El Mirage, LA Roadster show, Pebble Beach(what?) and Woodies on Wharf in Santa Cruz next June. Our son lives in Bay area, so we'll likely visit them for a few days, too.

 

At the bottom of my reply in the signature line. Hiding in plain sight.

 

My winter projects are sponsored by "honey do". Thinking of selling the '27 T Tudor and daydream/search for a body to go gasser style.

 

Here's mine 1956 F100. Plan on having it done by spring. Just getting ready to wire her up.

 

Moving to Texas from Kalifornia in January. Need to turn this


into this

 

Pull the V-8 out of the Circus and install the more appropriate 302 GMC.


The start

 

Finish the T for spring, get back on my A Roadster project, Maintenance on my 42 Ford Box truck and my A Coupe.. and and and...

 

Cool shop ^^^...

 

Now that I got heat in the shop I will get on this.
Just want to get it driving & safe, then I'll decide what to do with it.

 

To answer the question, yes, living in MN you need a winter project
Starting on year 4 of my newer OT (71 Convert) car "winter project"
Hope to complete by spring 2019
Maybe then i can "Finish" my 59 Nomad

 

I'm collecting parts and doing what i can over the winter on this '57 F100. I just sent the front axle off to get dropped and ordered some dress up items for the y block. I'm hoping to have the engine and transmission cleaned up and resealed/ rebuilt by January 2019. Hopefully I'll be able to basically take April 2019 off and get the bodywork and paint done on it! It's going to be pretty neat I think!

 

Last years Winter project.

 

That 39-40 Ford behind the 57 looks real interesting to.

 

Thats an old hot rod '40 pickup from the '50's! It isn't mine but i hope to help get it on the road too!

 

RMR you are absolutely correct...How could One miss that you might ask...I just did a thread on this in Questions and Suggestions.

With my Stupid Phone in Regular upright mode that info is not there...rotate phone and all that info is there...

Apologies...

 

Keep going on this....

 

^^^^WILD^^^^ I love it.

 

So the snows pretty much melted, was in low 50s today so,,,,. Gotta sell the Ford, find a new garage to keep the Chevy and start building the Dodge. This will be more than a winter project I feel. Mitch

 

Chop top cool car...I gotta say that is a real interesting body style.

It was a transition from fat fenders to the flat sided 50's look.

The top almost looks removable as well.

It's quite sizable as well as a Coupe.

Have fun with it...

 

Ok, Today is November 1st and I feel like I'm starting with a clean slate. I'm over the post Hershey depression, hope to get to the CSRA Swap Meet Sunday and end the 2018 season, it was a good one. I can get a lot done without spending any money, just need to get and stay motivated. Redoing the back wall of the garage is job one, listing every bit of non automotive crap on (that auction site) is goal #2. I'd like to knock off some debt and have some Mad Money. Blast and prime the '39 pickup frame and '29 body shell by Spring and I'd be a very happy HAMBer. Bob

 

I have a couple of Dodge Brothers cars to finish up for 2 of my kids, then it is back onto the '33 Plymouth coupe hot rod I started on 3 years ago that got side tracked when I picked up my avatar and resurrected it. '59 - '60 influenced high boy with 331 hemi and LaSalle tranny. Maybe it will make it to Bonneville this year if all goes well!

 

Gonna try to get this going.

Last years summer project drug through last winter and through this summer so it’s still dragging on. Maybe by spring I’ll have it back on the road, and maybe not. Too little time and money to make great leaps of progress, and the older I get the less the body cooperates.

 

1948 Pontiac. Brakes, wiring, tires, and convert over this big ass military 302 over to civilian and stuff it under the hood.

 

Promised my wife I would have her truck ready to drive by spring !!!!

 

Just work on the coupe and install a interior in the old Deuce beater. HRP

 

finish up the 40 std coupe in progress and go find another one. Know of one and a 36 3 window as well.

 

Finally got my 52 merc pickup

 

Change over the banjo gearing to more highway friendly gears on my 34 pickup and reupholster the seat. Minor maintenance on both the 37 and 34.

 

White and black stock like interior is going away. Will be replaced by new double loop carpet and black tuck and roll. Not a big winter project but it needs a change.
