Projects What are you doing with your ride in 2013 ?

Very simple.........

Racing it and having a good time!

 

Get it daily driveable, and take it to LSRU.

 

I would love to find a 250 and a 5 speed for the falcon and possibly paint the top with flake and lace. But if finances won't allow would at least need to fix my leaking input seal on the ford-o-matic for goodguys and the cruise in season.

 

Still redoing the cab paint on the F1, 2nd time should be a charm. Working on small engine detail upgrades and interior upgrades on the 31 coupe in preparation for
Billetproof / Ocala in March.
Did I say how bad I hate this cold rainey season we are experiencing right now?

 

1. Valve adjustment
2. Collect sheetmetal
3. Start cutting out rusted trunk metal
4. Get a job that pays me more so I can do more with my cars.
5. Drive it a ton more than 2012.

 

1. Hang the rear axle
2. Mount the engine and tranny
3. Put the body back on the frame
4. Paint it
5. Wire it up
6. Drive this truck anywhere and everywhere this summer

I've got a lot left to do but thankfully I have 5 more months to get it done.

Happy new year folks

 

I need to fix the oil leak on my Jeep and would also like to replace the carter 1bbl carb with something better.

But the big project is getting my 50 on the road. Just got the front suspension parts and I have a 350 that's been on an engine stand in my garage for several years just collecting dust. I want to get it started and be able to take her for a drive by mooneyes. The plan is to worry about body work, paint and interior next year. That's reasonable, Right???

 

I am going to finally get the shoebox out the back building and get it back on the road. Hopefully with a fresh motor, tranny, and rear. I plan to drive the crap out of it then.

Forgot to add making it to some car shows. I plan to go every year and don't make it. This year is different.

Driving it as much as possible !!!!

 

Finish the house addition project and get back on the cars. Got a 38 Chevy Coupe I'm dying to turn into a Gasser with a Nailhead.

 

New cam and intake in the FE, and fix the rust that I found last month as my wallet will allow

 

This is my plan...

1. finish engine and get it running. 2. Get trans freshened up. 3. Redo front suspension & breaks. 4. Sell it to move on to my Barracuda

 

In theory, I could have the Lyndwood finished for Hershey in October it has only been a 24 year project so far. I found the '30 Roadster body in 1962, nothing changed on that in 2012, so don't count on much progress in 2013. If I can figure out how to wire the Roadster, and buy all the electrical crap I'll need in a year I'll be happy. Selling off crap and having car funds is the goal of 2013. Bob

 

Put the 57 Dodge on blocks for a whole year till march 2014, since the Airforce decided they wanted me in Korea for a year....Sucks no cars or family for a year. o'well I knew it was inevitable when I signed up. I predict for me 2013 will suck...

 

Repair the floors so i can pull the body off the chassis, then setup the suspension, steering and driveline.

Got a good start this year, i managed to pick up the power rack to use on the stock front end for free!

Currently I'm repainting and repairing my O/T spare car so i can afford to work on the desoto

 

Replacing 318 with a 354 HEMI !

 

Getting rid of every project I own, and buying something I actually want!

 

Getting rid of the Vega tail lights and replacing the rear panel to hold the frenched 58 Bel-Aire tail lights and license plate.

Refinish the cowl vent/cowl to repair surface rust

Driving it more,and maybe to billet proof Ocala and the drags

 

Too much with too little $$$$$!!!
