What are you east coast guys doing this winter on your rides

Every other week we keep getting hammered with snow ,I just got done rebuilding the 2gc for tripower and this weekend time to hook up gas pedal ,Also body working stuff for sale ,What are you guys up to...

 

Changed the thread I wrote in earlier ,Heres the new one ........

 

Been tough to get out to the shop with all the snow but I'm putting together a new motor for the coupe. 283, .030 over, 10/1 CR, Comp Cam, powerpack heads, three Stromberg 48's.

 

No heat in the barn, I'm on hold. Too cold to play with sub-freezing steel.

 

Building it...

Makin a new engine turned dash panel, that is in between snow plowing and then welding on the snow plow.........

 

Spending all my free time plowing snow...............

 

Replaced timing cover seal. Hoping to get some brake upgrades started soon. Shoveling, coughing, sneezing, hacking, the usual for this time of year.........

 

Keeping all my batteries warm and drinking beer in the house...no heat out there....did replace the lower door skin on the drivers door...gonna do the passenger door tomorrow...I can deal with 30 degree weather not -0.

 

need to up load pics but building a 32 roadster from scratch with the kids in the high school body shop class i teach

 

Putting down about 300 ft of rubber.

 

working on an ot glass roadster, a glassic, putting a '32 shell, front spreader bar, reworked the rear pan, new firewall, just trying to polish this turd.

 

Building my AV8 while business is slow.

 

Slowly sorting through stuff stored in the garage and basement to make work space for the projects. Pile A goes in the wood stove, Pile B is for the Scrap Yard, Pile C goes to the dump, Pile D gets a shot at eBay, if it doesn't sell it goes in Pile A,B or C.

 

Always something to do. Doesn't take long to heat up the shop. New carb and a few other mods lately. Just can't help but tinker.

 

Trying to finish up a bathroom retro=fit and all the rest of the stuff I can do indoors.

Waiting for the real bad weather to break before I go out and lay on the 35 degree garage floor.

Driving my snow blower.

 

Working two jobs,about 70 hrs a week including weekends to send my son to college and pay for all this car fun etc.Work in garage and sleep come in 2nd.

 

Taking as much of it apart as I can-finally getting it painted.

 

Tonight I installed 3.55 gears in the 8 inch thats in my 37 Chevy p/u,the gears that came out will replace the noisey gears that are in my 55 sunliner. The 55 is going to get a cam change after the gears are installed,the nimrod that built the 351-W for me did not put a RV grind cam in like I requested and stuck one in that starts doing its job at 2500 RPMs and thats not good for a tall geared highway cruiser.
