Get to work on my '55 Victoria and have it painted in time for the Classic Thunderbird Club Int'l regional in Omaha in late August. First things first, though - find a painter/bodyman between Omaha and Lincoln who actually would like to work on it.
to get the 53 dodge truck in my avatar driveable and useable by summer, then tear it down next winter for bodywork and paint
Settle all of my major financial goals that have carried over. Settle all of my personal time and space once and for all (relates the 1st one!). Produce an instructional DVD before Xmas '11. Finish my 61 bubbletop so Denise has a different reason to bust my balls. Get another major move done on the truck so dustyoldbodyman and safari-wagon have a different reason to bust my balls. Get in at least 1500mi of sled time this season. Last year was dismal at a minimum. I have a sled that hits just south of 100MPH in 500'. It's a shame to let it sit.
get the stude running and moving under its own power and take it to the hot rod reunion in bakersfield...and finish the cameo( soooo close)!
Get my wifes '36 on the road (only a few months of work remaining), get started on my '29 roadster, keep on top of the maintenance for the rest of the cars and, most importantly, ramain on the north side of the dirt
To get my sons 1949 F1 running. We did the chassis last year and then got the new garage up. The Wife said yesterday, you need to get the 49 running before Mike (17 next month )turns 18. She OPENED up the checkbook and said "Get it done this year!" YES DEAR.....honeydos! gotta love em.
I'm prayin I just get to get my ole truck back on the road. Drop it, put a reliable motor in it and have fun.
Take on less car projects, get my '57 back on the road by my birthday in March, take it to Paso-Maria and Billetproof, actually ENJOY it this season instead of spending 'another' season just in the shop. I was originally (i.e., last year's goal) to do its spare frame and have it lowered, p'coated and have a rebuilt 292 in it by this Spring, but now the more realistic goal (I think) is to make the most of the current Camaro-clipped frame w/ Olds 350 setup (it's taken way more work and time just for the current roller), get interior done, maybe get towards rebuilding the 292 in fall, the next frame during the next fall/winter. Get my wife's Chrysler back on the road and in-paint for this Spring, take it to Kool April Nights, among things (and the drive-in movies in Crescent City, wink-wink nudge-nudge). I'm about to get a welder and want to take welding classes starting in a few weeks.
Work on my 66 Nova A/FX car so I can sell it this year. Also get my 63 Ranchero finished so I have a cool shop truck. Oh yeah I almost forgot, need to loose 50 pounds ASAP! YEAH RIGHT!!!!
I hope to get the chassis and drivetrain upgrades finished on the Essex. If that happens I can start on the sheetmetal and wiring next winter so it's back on the road for the summer of '12.
Finish up my wife's corvette 100% Put the engine back into the Impala and drrive it again. 348 - 3 deuce - 700 R4 - 3:70 posi. Hope it performs better that before.
Git er done, well at least to the point of being able to drive. It looks pretty much the same as this still <----------
