Thread: What you going to build next???

Tweet

Well, for a lot of us the cruizin' and racing season is drawing to a close and all too soon it will be time to hibernated in the garage!!!!

What are you planning on building new, or upgrading on your current ride this winter??

Mama's 57 I hope to complete the interior this winter. I put it on the back burner to finish the Nova, in fact I put it on the back burner to finish a few cars. If I intend to continue living here I better get on that car. If I can keep other peoples cars out.. But then thats what pays for parts

I'm toying with doing a minor teardown on mine, working down the mold parting lines on the body and closing some gaps on the hood that will take some glass work, and get it ready for paint. I haven't totally ruled out making my paint area more permanent with some rolling wall panels so I can shoot it myself. Also a couple of interior tweaks to do too. Probably going to pick up a servo motor for the sewing machine this winter, to slow the beast down, too.
Edit - Oh yeah, thinking about cutting the old red wagon apart and dropping it down in the weeds with an extended handle! All of these grand kids are going to need something for the car shows for a year or so yet! Edit 2 - Oh and get the roof on the tree house! And decide on windows & a door or open air. Dang, I need to get to work!!

I'm taking the small block to the machine shop tomorrow, want a 347 so I'll do it over the winter. Need to do some small trim items in the interior still so hopefully that'll get done too. And I still have some orange peel to get out of the paint.. Oh and then theres the..... and then ...... 8-)

That's alright, we'll forgive you again this year, Mike~!!!!!!!!!!!!

well I've gotten the running boards, front inner fender panels, and hood and hood sides primed for Robin's 33 so maybe I'll get them bolted on---also, just got my extra argon bottle filled so I can work on the headers for it--------------

Finally get started on the dragster chassis

i'll just keep driving and tinkring with the 27
i'd like to change some minor things and upholster the interior.
but since i installed that 28000 BTU heater last year.
i dont stop driving it unless the snow gets too deep.
it dont snow much here in ABQ NM

Next?...........Next?.................. I don't even have the last one done yet..........

I hope things slow down enough for me to get the front end hinged to the "Z".

We may be putting a roll bar in Jeff's Camaro. We have yet to get a full pass on the new Trans/Nitrous upgrade (Hope to do that Oct. 6th).

I just want to be able to enjoy the one we have.
Problem is every time I get heal up enough to work on it, I end up back in the horsepital for more surgery.
I guess the kid will most likely have to finish it up some day.

after loosing a whole summer of work i have plenty to do. i'd like to finish the shop truck and then get back on Inderweed .

I know that feeling..Trying to fit a few hours even day or two into Lynda's Customline,,and doing small repairs and modifications to the roadster body at the same time..Then there's the Galaxie....

Good to see you are Ford-ging ahead

If I'm lucky (or weak minded enuff) to get another Rod then it will be a "finished Driver" and probably a late 20's or mid 30's Coupe of some kind. Then I will try to wear it out before I'm called to that Big Cruise in the Sky at which time my kids and grandkids can argue over who gets it.
