Projects what is your winter project?

What is your winter project going to be?

 

first get the new OD roadster trans in and clean it up and put it in the warehouse
then the 53 chev gets a engine and OD trans and move on to a body and paint job, maYBEE AIR COND AND sidepipes, mostly a update and make it a cleaner car
then i guess the 41 Big Olds will get some work not totally sure where i am going but it need some maintence and clean up work and do some body work on a few rough areas and move on to exhaust sidepipes, mufflers ,and tailpipes

oh the duramax needs the front axle torn down and repaired before the indoor shows start in jan
also need to do a little cosmetics and choke work to the Rivera which will be the long distance show car for the winter again

let the funn begin

other than that i can do anything that I want with my spare timeyea right

 

1923 model T. Started on the frame today and hope to have it squared and finished welded by Turkey Day. I have a fiberglass body but I'm looking for a metal one. Hell I would just take a metal upper cowl and could build the rest of the body. (I personally don't prefer glass but it might just get put on the car).

 

Wifes 51 mercury my 32 sedan and 31 coupe.

 

Finish up my coupe, get the interior done, etc. then find myself a willy's cab and build my gasser!

 

I'm building an SBC. Yanked it out of the Jag before I junked the shell. They don't sell for much, so I figured I would build it and hang on to it until I find a home for it.

 

We don't have winters to speak of here. I'm assuming you mean Dec, Jan, Feb. This weekend CBS says it will be touching 70 degrees here. I'm going to figure out a way to attach the removable hardtop to my avatar. If there is time, I will install the new glass in the doors, after I dynamat the back side of the doors.

 

workin on my 72 pontiac lemans, have to install the weather stripping, weld in a new floor on the pass side front, install bumpers,grill and lights as well as the interior. Then I will rebuild the carb its been sitting for about 3 yrs and also drain the tank.. But before any of that begins I have to do some welding repair on my jeep frame...and finish an RC build for a friend and one for my son....man I will never get all of it done nib shittin around on the interweb LOL..

 

Bodywork on my '65 DAF 31. I was trying fruitlessly to get the paint off to no avail. I asked my uncle (who's car it was at one point), "Why is the paint you used so tough??" He says, "That's because it was my uncle's leftover WW2 aircraft paint!" MAN!! Getting it blasted at some point...

 

New engine for the Uni, trying to squeeze 450+ HP and 150 MPH out of it. Re-do the 322ci Y for the FED, want to be legal for Eagle Field in May.

 

Finish wiring my buddies O/T Vette, then re-organize the shop and get back to work on our projects, the '35 Ford shop truck with the '28 RPU as 'fill-in' work.

 

starting my 32 ford pu build. have bin in the planning faze too long after christmas i plan on getting started.

 

Bought a '53 Buick Special, chop to start soon. Grafting in '54 Chevy tail lights, tucking in rear bumper, install 455 and 200R4. Fatman fab MII front end, maybe bags maybe just springs.

 

Finish my Coupe Deville will be my plan ( if my Bank Acct. allows )

 

well Im going to work on my 49 convert,and in a few days my 50 coupe will be here and I might play with that.

 

I'm trying to get this:

C-notch and flip the axle on the 57' F100, maybe a OD or 5spd in it too.
Restore the 59 Yellowstone travel trailer and update the interior.
Make some planned changes to the 31' Tudor sedan and maybe a OD also/
Restore the vintage popcorn popper I just picked up.
Finish the old coke machine.
Remodel the kitchen and add more cabinet space.
Finish trim in the formal living room (crown molding)
Opps, wire and add a custom hitch to the 57' to pull above trailer!

The bad part is when you ask the same question this spring my list will be the same if not longer!

 

On it now,35 hud 5wndw bought thru GZ.
2 inch chopped dabiatch!

 

Floors, trunk and lower quarters on my 58 ply. I need to get it in the shop and get started on it already.

 

Finish new garage, so next year I can do a real car...

 

you east coasters have a real winters and you dry dock your cars and get stuff done. mean while on the west coast, the weathers way more mild and we don't stop on a regular bases like you. i think the east coast has more finished car than we do! at least with the econoline group i belong to seems that way.

 

Finishing the engine swap and paint changes on the Pontiac. Hope to have it done by Feburary.

 

My winter project is in full speed ahead mode! Just finished the engine with new heads, cam, gear drive and bottom end work. Now I'm moving on to body and paint work. Lots of paint stripping of the 65 yr. old paint, then prime and new paint before spring. Haven't picked a color yet, but leaning towards something red.
Here's a video of the new engine after startup. Still needs some tuning to get it perfect:


Bodywork beginning:

 

'54 chevy 210

 

I'm going to freshen up the 32 Ford Roadster I'm getting next week. Paint, Carpet, Wheels.

And FINALLY...Get back to work on the 40 Coupe. Will start with the Frame. Body just needs prep for paint.

 

I just gotta get my three window '31 Dodge on the road. I am trying to get to the 100 year anniversary of Dodge Brothers in Detroit in 2014. I would actually love to get BOTH of my coupes ready and do the "Dodge caravan" to Michigan.
