Projects Whats your winter project/projects?

That square bird is pure sex! Don't change a thing!^^^^^^^^^^^

 

I took my son out to Harbor Freight for a few little things this morning, but I was sure to walk around making a mental list of all the stuff I'm gonna need for this winters projects!

Guys and Gals...don't forget to come back and update your progress through out the winter! We'll see who actually gets meets their goals!

 

this will keep me busy for awhile

 

Started gathering parts
331 caddy
37 Roadmaster Tranny ( from F&J)
Plus aother parts

 

Insulate my garage. Maybe that way I can actually stand to work in it this winter...

 

here ya go Tex this is the only pic I have right now, my computer is a piece of crap! keep in mind Im an average joe, with limited funds and limited skills. but I AM optimistic!

 

My 38 coupe is my winter project. Bodywork, engine + trans, glass, wiring, etc., the list seems endless but the winters are long here in the Northeast.

 

I couldnt sleep knowing that bay was in the garage love the chop

 

f100 is going to hibernate this year
so far I have collected a 302 with gt40 heads AOD trans thunderbird IRS
and Im still looking for a crown vic clip

when it comes back out of the cave its gonna be one mean bear!

 

I hope to get the drivetrain mounted in my studebaker and some interior work done as well as get the machine work started on stroking the Indian from 45cu in to 57cu in.

 

Well, like JJ, I've got a little girl on the way this Christmas.....Dec. 22nd to be exact....child #2, and child #1 will only be 20 mo. old by that point. I'll have 2 under 2!!! XP

Needless to say, I'm going to do my best to go balls to the wall to get mine drive-able by Christmas if I can...or at least have only odds and ends left. The car is over at Lucky's garage at the moment, he's doing some metal fabrication work that's way beyond my skill set. I'll be buttoning up the welds, etc etc. It's a 28/29 sport coupe that we're finishing the process of turning it into a coupester (as started by the previous owner).

 

You're gonna have to start a thread. I was eyeballing that transmission for a while but had to tell myself over and over that shipping would put me out of commission for a while.

That is seriously cool. Heck, if average joes never tried out to do anything, we wouldn't be where we are today. Henry Ford was an average joe. The Wilbur brothers were average joes too.. I'm not quite sure I've reached the level of "average joe" yet.

Keep chipping away at them.

I put my cab over up for sale so i can get my new 1949 chevy 5 window on the road so next winter i can start restoration on my 1947 chevy 3 window

 

Stay warm,shovel snow,keep daily drivers running,repeat...

 

This will be the winter of electrical work....going to completely re-wire the '53 Ford and dad's '47 Kaiser. The generator finally blew apart in the Ford so what better time to re-wire and convert to 12V. One of these days...I'm gonna finally get around to splitting the exhaust on the ol' 6.

 

1/8th scale Willys

 

Belle bete avec la toile !!!
Je l avais pas vu celui la ...

 

here is a couple of my projects in progress new rocker panels on the lincoln and a few shots of the olds. finished painting the frame on the olds and set the engine and tranny in it just to see how it looks (me likey!!)
just need to get the engine redone, would be nice to get goatroaper to do it but i dont think my wallet can take that kind of hit right now. oh well guess i will get more done on the lincoln.

 

One more winter should do it. Short vid of my 50 ford coupe.

Too many to mention.

 

Cool Ford tedley!

 

trying to exorcise the street rod demons from my innocent studebaker. winter plans include mirrors ,seats, shifter and a new grill .

 

I need to fix my old ROADSTER !!

It suffered a engine fire back in March 2012. I have basically done nothing to fix it The insurance paid the claim and I have almost everything I need to fix it except the motivation.

It is just depressing to even go out in the shop and look at it.

BUT the wife ...wants to go to the LA Roadster show again in 2013
so I guess I better get busy.

.

 

I found a little Rambler that had been sitting for 20 years.
I figured with my current budget it would be a fun little project.
I got some lowering plates made from DaTinMan and if YoungRodder comes through with a gas tank this thing might be able to make a blanket run this year.

 

I work out of a tent and I bought a propane heater Last year I froze this year I just want to chill working on my cab

 

Work on this 1950 GMC. Maybe start my frame for my 29 Essex. Or drag the 35 ford PU in from its resting place and finish the cab chop.
