Winter projects

I have a black cat in the neighborhood that loves to walk back and forth in front of a sliding glass door on the side of the shop. This drives my bulldog nuts and the cat knows it.

The cat will just sit there licking his paws while the dog barks his ass off...



This winter I am installing a remote controlled door opener, on the sliding glass door, to suprise the cat next spring...:grin:

youre too much,lol

that sounds like a great plan, get that dammmm cat!

I'd shoot tha dog:elmer:

Winter Project?? Until people start buying American made cars to help our economy , my car wil not get uncovered and money will NOT be spent.

This year, with people not buying American cars - she will remain covered and "on hold" (like many other projects of people employed by the big three)

I WANT TO DO A LOT OF UPGRADES - - BUT NO MONEY BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE BUY FOREIGN!

1. Cam, lifters, and 4 bbl manifold on the poly in my Coronet.
2. Manual disc brake conversion on the Coronet
3. Heater control valve fix (likes to piss on my foot when you get even close to the fun side of 3 grand)
4. O2 sensor in the Dakota
5. Build more storage in the garage
6. Finish garage lighting
7. MAJOR under carriage clean up and repair on my 73 Dart Sport.

tufcat, Who did you get the cover from? Is it waterproof and breathable?

I'd shoot tha dog:elmer:

Tem, be nice.

Its a great garage cover. Made of canvas and heavy felt lined. Its not waterproof. Its really great protection in a dry, warm garage.... or overnight at car shows as long as there's no rain. If its pouring rain, it could weighs about 300lbs! I got it from the canvas shoppe - Flint, Michigan

KID SIXPACK IS RIGHT.

Getting it ready for the rotisserie http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w17/olddog_photos/carrestoration0012.jpg

I have a 71 barracuda that I am going to strip this winter and have it media blasted and primed. Then I am going to modify some things to be more functional like the AAR's. It's not a B body yet but you asked for it.
The first picture is what I am doing with the car and the second is the car a few miles from my house when i was towing it home.

69 Charger R/T, fresh rotissierie, black, red bumblebee stripe. This winter, Alterktion, Moser 60, Street Lynx rear suspension. Then stroker wedge 512 w/Indy Heads. Can't decide between Keisler 5 speed or 6 speed overdrive auto.

Finish my wifes wrangler,get the rear quarters on the 69 Dart, buy rear quarters for the runner, paint the dart, assemble the dart,move the runner inside, look at it for awhile,replace the quarters, Oh shite its spring already.
Time to go pish off some guys with 5.0s and ricers with the Dart. Go to carlisle look for Roadrunner bits, see another project, buy ti haul it back home ,oops pished off the wife, tell her its for her, have a nervous break down cause she wants it painted FM3.

Not much really :penguins paint pixi :edgy:

This winter I am getting my freakin' top working. The lines have a leak somewhere and not only can't I find the filler hole, but I can't find anyone who knows what kind of fluid to use. It's a 66 Coronet Convertible and I have heard ATF, brake fluid and a lot of I don't know. HELP.

Also will be moving my horn from the washer switch (previous owner was a real genius) to the steering wheel hub where it belongs, installing a new modern fuse box and then...

I am gonna stroke my 440! :banana::banana::banana::banana::dancing_monkey: I have the kit on the way and I am psyched.

I just hope my 4l60e will take the torque when I am done. I already have torque cracks in my paint. Maybe some subframe connectors at this point would be a good idea. Hmmmm.

As soon as my finish my 71, its about 6 hours from being ready for the paint booth, but I am going to wait til after the holidays to paint it. I hope to have the 71 done by March, then I am going to start on this 66 Belvedere.

dad had to buy them a new bird ,which never ever came close to the garage.
true story i swear.

What was your project, there 69, trying to shoot dogs over the internet? :edgy:

I just got finished going over my heap with a real good painter, that is out of work. :HappyNewYear:

Well with the economy in the tank, my buddy that owns the shop is going to let his guys paint my heap just to keep them busy..

I get to pay them in cash, direct and supply the paint...:HappyNewYear:

Black will be all shiney black....:th_krazy:

Dogs are stupid.

Yeah yeah I know. They can be trained to climb ladders, find people in avalanches, keep the blind from being run over, and find drugs.

But a dog....if left alone.....


will CLEAN a cat box for ya.

And seem to ENJOY it:yuk:

Can't be to smart if they'll eat shit and like it

I am spending this winter searching for an "affordable" B-body project. If anyone knows where I can find a 69 road runner ( I'll settle for a 68 or 70) with good paint, sheet metal and a good running engine for $1000 or less...PLEASE LET ME KNOW....I'll take 2!

Dude....you are smokin some really good bud

I forgot.

How about 1/64? ;)

I'm almost ready to start painting a "One-Owner-50,270 original mile-426 Hemi-4 speed-bench seat-'66 Belvedere II". Absolutely the neatest car I've ever restored. All the body work is done, and the paint arrived this week, so I'm almost ready for the fun part! I'll have to post a few pics along and along.

Please do. Can you post a few pics of it in its original state to start off with?

Ccccaaaaarrrrrrr ppppoooorrrrnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll do that. You guys really won't believe this car. I actually tried to convince the man that owns it not to do anything to it, it was really that nice, but he wants it to look exactly like it did the day it was born. It had one repaint in the 70's but other than that, it was a survivor. I've built probably 25 cars and restored another 25 over the past 30 years and this is by far the sweetest car I've ever had my hands on.
I'll post some pics next week, as I'm on my way to a car show/swap meet in Moultrie, Ga. for the weekend.

Garage:
Install lift
Finish off trimming the ceiling
Finish electrical and air compressor plumbing

Charger:
Dash Harness
Rear
A/C system

70 SS454:
Pull Engine and detail
New Torque converter

I like it Cuda hunter!!!! heres what I did this year and if I can post it a pic of what I'm going to do to save one that a tree fell on.not bee bodies but you asked for it,dont ask me about my "dream Bee Body"I have a 71 barracuda that I am going to strip this winter and have it media blasted and primed. Then I am going to modify some things to be more functional like the AAR's. It's not a B body yet but you asked for it.

Well... Tonight I was out in the garage just "toying" around. Here's what I was working on....

Get a divorce.
Sell a house in this depressed market.
Buy a house with a shop or room for a shop.
Get back to normal and back to work on my 69 Bee.

I will be painting and finishing my 71 charger project this winter.

Full speed ahead on my 69 RR then continue on the 68. Get my 66 Belvedere in driving condition with a basic 440, then if I like the car, put in the roller cammed 440 six pac :grin: Help get an old friends Duster running - this is the longest car build in history, maybe 25 yrs and counting - but damn it, it's gonna run soon because we don't give up!!! Convert my other buddys 67 Fairlane in to a low buck drag car (kind of like pimp my ride for gearheads). Put the 428 crank in my 66 Ford peekup, which will make it into a 410, then top it off with a tri power from a 406 Galaxie!! Woo hoo!! Gotta have a tri power tow vehicle to tow the six pac 440 car!!! Damn, wish I had something to do to keep from getting bored!! :sad:

Hey 71 charger, you can use playdoh to fix that green bad boy...:grin:

After 1 1/2 year in the body/paintshop it will finally come home to christmas.

500 stroker to be build plus all the pleasent assembly with all new or refinnished parts.

P.S. Picture is from leaving for bodyshop. New colour will be sublime green with black vinyltop, black hood with scoop.

I'm working on painting my wife's brand X convertible.

Just got started on converting my 65 coronet to an awb afx. Then cut my truck in half and build the ramptruck I have been planning on finishing since I dont have the money for a car trailer.

try to survive til spring, not going to spend money on anything unrelated to living and paying bills

Working on my car of my dream. The car I have always wont'ed 65 Belvedere II. I've got it at the body shop and the owner is let me work on it and do all the work. But he's going to paint it for me Plus help me replace some sheet metal. Car is from Virginia and only had one year here in MI. I trade my 67 Dart, which was pretty nice.

I'll try to post some pictures.

I took out my fenderwell headers out of my Duster, going to paint them or maybe get them coated. took the heads off,get some work done on them. try and find a different intake manifold, maybe a different carb. find a pair of used slicks, and get into the 12's next summer.

I have a black cat in the neighborhood that loves to walk back and forth in front of a sliding glass door on the side of the shop. This drives my bulldog nuts and the cat knows it.

The cat will just sit there licking his paws while the dog barks his ass off...



This winter I am installing a remote controlled door opener, on the sliding glass door, to suprise the cat next spring...:grin:

picture of the bull dog !!!!!!

This year, with people not buying American cars - she will remain covered and "on hold" (like many other projects of people employed by the big three)

With the state of the Car Dealers I will be lucky if I get to keep my Charger, it may have to be sacrificed for the greater good.:(:(:(:(

put up a bodies,get to the bel.change rearend ,fix speedo and gas gauge.
then purhaps new covers for the inside.should be spring bye then ,
time to melt some rubber .torment them brand x cars.hate them brand x/s.

Too many damn projects that it is a little overwhelming sometimes. Hopefully, before the end of the year, I will get the new motor/trans in the '69 Barracuda, while I am trying to section some sheet metal on the '35 Plymouth and meanwhile band-aiding the '68 GTX to keep it running correctly until it is its turn for a teardown (sometime in early 2010). I need a nap just from typing this stuff.

...took longer than I had planned, but here are some pics of the Belvedere II I mentioned earlier. Here are a few of how it came to the shop and a few of the progress. I'll try to post some more along and along. The man that owns the car bought it new in Atlanta and has every piece of paperwork for the car. I'm LOVIN' it!

sweet

Oh yeah, that Belvedere II is going to be something special!
:grin:

Ray

I'll give $1.37 for it:grin:

Maybe the guy looking for the $1000 RoadRunner would be interested.

I offered the guy $25k for it when I first saw it many years ago and he politely told me that it's NOT for sale. Can't say that I blame him a bit!
